Maintenance Architecture
Multiple System Consoles Managing Multiple Systems
The servers must have fault-tolerant dedicated service LAN connections to the
Ethernet switches or hubs. In addition, the system consoles and the servers must be
on the same subnet. If a server is configured to receive dial-ins, the server must
occupy the same subnet as the system console receiving the dial-ins.
For best OSM performance, no more than 10 servers should be included within one
subnet.
Because all servers are shipped with the same preconfigured IP addresses for MSP0,
MSP1, $ZTCP0, and $ZTCP1, you must change these IP addresses for the second
and subsequent servers before you can add them to the LAN.
You must change the preconfigured IP addresses of the second and subsequent
system consoles before you can add them to the LAN.
