trace facility and SCF, see Chapter 10 (page 216).
The CLIM software is pre-installed on new CLIMs.
Capacity and Resource Use
CIP has the following capacity:
24 IP CLIMs, 22 Storage CLIMsMax number of CLIMs in a system
DL385 G2 or G5 CLIMs: Five; one embedded gigabit
Ethernet and four on NICs
User Ethernet interfaces (IP CIP)
DL380 G6 CLIMs: Five; 3 embedded ports and 2 on NICs
Two SAS ports. Can support a maximum of 4 SAS ports.
Can support a maximum of 4 FC ports.
Serial attached SCSI (SAS) Host bus adapters (HBAs) and
fiber channel (FC) HBAs (Storage CIP)
128K (131,072)Max number of sockets on a NonStop host system
processor (IP CIP)
64K (65,536)Max number of sockets on a CLIM (IP CIP)
512. Each primary, backup, mirror and mirror backup
path is counted in this maximum.
Max number of LUNs for each CLIM, including SAS disks,
ESS and tapes:
Restrictions
These restrictions apply to the CLIM:
• The eth0 interface and the eth0:0 interface, if configured, are restricted to dedicated service
LAN use and do not accept data traffic. For data traffic, use the eth1, eth2, eth3, eth4, and
eth5 interfaces.
• You must use IPv4 for the dedicated service LAN IP addresses for the CLIM.
• NOTE: Effective with J06.14/H06.25 and later RVUs, the following restriction has been
removed.
For CLIMs on RVUs prior to J06.14/H06.25, the default subnet of the dedicated service LAN
is 192.168.*.*/16; therefore, the data interfaces eth1 - eth5 and bond0 - bond1 cannot
have IP addresses in the 192.168.*.*/16 range. In addition, eth1 - eth5 cannot communicate
with hosts having an address in the 192.168.*.*/16 range when the address is already
assigned to the dedicated service LAN.
