NonStop Operations Guide for H-Series and J-Series RVUs

NonStop NS1000 and NS1200 Systems
NonStop NS1000 and NS1200 systems have no processor switches or LSUs. Like NonStop
NS14000 systems, there are now two types of NS1000 systems: those consisting of a single IOAM
enclosure and those consisting of one VIO enclosure for each fabric (two VIO enclosures). NS1200
systems consist of VIO enclosures only. ServerNet connectivity for each type is accomplished as
described for the “NonStop NS14000 Series Systems”, except for the absence of the LSUs.
NonStop NS1000 and NS1200 systems do not support connections to NonStop S-series I/O
enclosures. Besides the architectural differences, NonStop NS1000 and NS1200 systems also
utilize different NonStop Blade Elements than NonStop NS16000 series or NS14000 series
systems. For more information on NonStop NS1000 and NS1200 systems, refer to the planning
guide for your NonStop system.
NonStop NS1000 and NS1200 systems do not support connections to IP CLIMs, Storage CLIMs,
Telco CLIMs, IB CLIMs, or SAS disk drive enclosures.
Terms Used to Describe System Hardware Components
The terms used to describe system hardware components vary. These terms include:
• “Device” (page 38)
• “System Resource or Object” (page 38)
• “Server and System” (page 38)
• “Blade” (page 39)
Device
A device can be a physical device or a logical device. A physical device is a physical component
of a computer system that is used to communicate with the outside world or to acquire or store
data. A logical device is a process used to conduct input or output with a physical device.
System Resource or Object
The term “system resource” is used in OSM documentation to refer to system components that OSM
software and other HP manageability tools (for example, HP SIM) display, monitor, and sometimes
control. The term “object” is often used when referring to a specific resource, such as “the Disk
object.” All system resources are displayed in hierarchical form in the tree pane of the OSM Service
Connection; many are also displayed in Physical or Inventory views of the view pane. The effect
of selecting an object in either pane is the same: for example, you can view attributes for the
selected system resource in the Attributes tab, view alarms for that resource (if any exist) in the
Alarms tab, or right-click on the resource object and select Actions, to display the Actions dialog
box (from which you can select and perform actions on the selected system resource). Besides
physical hardware components, such as IOAM enclosures, power supplies, ServerNet adapters,
and disk and tape drives, system resources also include logical entities that OSM supports, such
as logical processors, ServerNet fabrics, and LIFs (logical interfaces).
Server and System
In NonStop NS2400 series, NS2300, NS2200 series, NS2100, NS2000 series, NS16000
series, NS14000 series, NS1200, and NS1000 systems, “server” refers to the hardware, and
“system” refers to the combination of the hardware and the software running on it.
In NonStop BladeSystems, “system” can refer collectively to all of the assembled and tested
hardware: the HP NonStop BladeSystem c7000 enclosure, the NonStop server blades, the
processing subsystem, the networking subsystem, and the storage subsystem. It can also refer to
the combination of that hardware and the software running on it.
“NonStop server” refers to a NonStop NS2400 series server, NS2300 server, NS2200 series
server, NS2100 server, NS2000 series server, NS16000 series server, NS14000 series server,
