ServerNet Cluster Supplement for NonStop NS-Series Servers (H06.05+)

Integrity NonStop NS-series Server Supplement
ServerNet Cluster Supplement for HP Integrity NonStop NS-Series Servers—529933-003

Hardware Requirements
Hardware Requirements
At least two 6770 switches or 6780 switches (one for the X fabric and one for the Y
fabric) are required. A cable management assembly is required for each 6780 switch.
The switches must be installed and powered on. For Integrity NonStop NS16000 nodes
in a layered topology, you can use either the single-mode fiber (SMF) option or
multimode fiber (MMF) option as described in Table 1-2. For example, if you use the
MMF option, you must have MMF PICs installed in both the 6780 switches and the
p-switches. Integrity NonStop NS14000 nodes are only supported in a layered topology
using the MMF option.

Integrity NonStop
NS14000 systems
T0682AAA is required on all NonStop S-series
nodes in the cluster if you use a 6780 switch
containing quad MMF PICs in at least one of the
slots 6 through 9 to connect NonStop S-series
servers to the cluster.

A 6780 switch with a quad MMF PIC
in at least one of the slots 6 through
9. At least one port on each PIC in
the range 1 or 2 must be available.
For the MMF option, OSM version
T0682AAA is required on all
NonStop S-Series nodes in the
ServerNet cluster.

* For Integrity NonStop NS16000 systems, cluster connectivity is done through the processor
switches. For Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems, cluster connectivity is done through the
ServerNet switch boards in the IOAM enclosure.
