Dedicated Service LAN
The ME firmware in each p-switch only interacts with a logical processor via ServerNet
using the SMIP ServerNet-based communication protocol to send command requests
to a logical processor and respond to command requests from a logical processor. The
p-switch ME firmware does not have any data regarding the number of PEs per
NonStop Blade Element, NonStop Blade Elements per NonStop Blade Complex, or the
LSUs.
Dedicated Service LAN
A dedicated service LAN provides connectivity between the OSM console running in a
PC and the maintenance firmware in the system hardware. This dedicated service LAN
uses a ProCurve 2524 Ethernet switch for connectivity between the p-switches and
ServerNet switch boards for each IOAM and the system console.
