NonStop NS2200 Series Planning Guide

• Two system consoles (one to each maintenance switch).
• Connect the VIO enclosure for the X fabric to one of the maintenance switches and the VIO
enclosure for the Y fabric to the other maintenance switch via the ME ENET ports on the VIO
enclosures.
• Connect one Ethernet port in each VIO enclosure via ENET slot 6b, port A to use the OSM
Service Connection and other up-system console software (this connection is optional if you
are implementing your dedicated service LAN via IP or Telco CLIMs).
• For every CLIM pair, connect the iLO and eth0 ports of the primary CLIM to one maintenance
switch, and the iLO and eth0 ports of the backup CLIM to the second maintenance switch
◦ For IP or Telco CLIMs, the primary and backup CLIMs are defined, based on the
CLIM-to-CLIM failover configuration
◦ For Storage CLIMs, the primary and backup CLIMs are defined, based on the disk path
configuration
NOTE: For more information about CLIM-to-CLIM failover, see the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP)
Configuration and Management Manual.
• If CLIMs are used to configure the maintenance LAN, connect the CLIM that configures $ZTCP0
to one maintenance switch, and connect the other CLIM that configures $ZTCP1 to the second
maintenance switch.
• Connect the iLO MP LAN ports for each blade element.
• Connect the NIC1 port for each blade element.
• Connect the NIC3 port for each blade element.
• Connect one maintenance switch to the other maintenance switch.
• Connect one maintenance switch to the the HP extension bar that is powered by the UPS.
NOTE: UPSs are not supported on the NonStop NS2200T or NS2200ST systems.
CAUTION: To avoid possible conflicts on the LAN:
For two maintenance switches, install and configure one switch completely, including assigning
its IP address, before you install the other.
Only one connection between the maintenance switches is permitted. More than one connection
overloads network traffic, rendering the dedicated service LAN unusable.
If VIO enclosures will have static IP addresses, configure one completely, including assigning
the IP address, before you configure the other.
