For Integrity NonStop NS14000 series systems with VIO enclosures, ServerNet cluster
connectivity is established through the Optical Extender PIC in slot 5 of the VIO
enclosure on each fabric.
Checking the Optical Extender PICs
1. To locate and check an Optical Extender PIC in an Integrity NonStop NS14000
series system, expand the system object in the tree pane and navigate to:
Fabric Group 100 > Internal ServerNet Fabric > VIO Module 100. n * > Optical
Extender PIC
* VIO Module 100.2 for X-fabric, VIO Module 100.3 for Y-fabric
2. Select the Optical Extender PIC and check for alarms or problem attributes.
3. If the Optical Extender PIC icon contains a yellow arrow, double-click to expand it
and select Port 1 (the port used for cluster connectivity) to check for alarms or
problem attributes.
