NonStop NS14000 Series Planning Guide (H06.13+)

Ethernet to Networks
The Ethernet ports provide Gigabit connectivity between NonStop NS14000 series systems and
Ethernet LANs. The Ethernet port is an end node on the ServerNet and uses either fiber-optic or
copper cable for connectivity to user application LANs, as well as for the dedicated service LAN.
For more information on the Ethernet ports, see “Versatile I/O (VIO) Enclosure” (page 22).
This illustration show a conceptual example for copper and fiber-optic connectivity to the various
LANs:
Default Naming Conventions
With a few exceptions, default naming conventions are not necessary for the modular resources
that make up Integrity NonStop NS14000 series systems. In most cases, users can name their
resources at will and use the appropriate management applications and tools to find the location
of the resource.
However, default naming conventions for certain resources simplify creation of the initial
configuration files and automatic generation of the names of the modular resources. When
autoconfigure mode is set to ON for storage subsystems, the preconfigured default naming
convention is used to generate the names of the Fibre Channel disk drives. Preconfigured default
resource names are:
