NonStop NS2200 Series Planning Guide

NOTE: The Storage CLIM uses the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem. For more information
about the CIP subsystem, refer to the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management
Manual.
IP CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) (Optional)
The IP CLIM is a rack-mounted server that is part of some NonStop NS2200 series system
configurations. For RVU requirements for DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 IP CLIMs, see Table 1
(page 27). A NonStop NS2200 series system can have 0, 1, or 2 IP CLIMs. For information about
coexistence limits for IP and Telco CLIMs, see IP and Telco CLIM Coexistence Limits (page 103). The
IP CLIM connects to the VIO enclosure and functions as a ServerNet Ethernet adapter providing
HP standard Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) to implement one of these IP CLIM
configurations:
• “DL380 G6 IP CLIM Option 1 — Five Ethernet Copper Ports” (page 31)
• “DL380 G6 IP CLIM Option 2 — Three Ethernet Copper and Two Ethernet Optical Ports”
(page 31)
• “DL380p Gen8 IP CLIM Option 1 — Five Ethernet Copper Ports” (page 32)
• “DL380p Gen8 IP CLIM Option 2 — Three Ethernet Copper and Two Ethernet Optical Ports”
(page 32)
These illustrations show the Ethernet interfaces and ServerNet fabric connections on the back of
the DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 IP CLIM with the IP CLIM option 1 and option 2 configurations.
For illustrations of the front view of these CLIMs, see “CLuster I/O Modules (CLIMs)” (page 27).
NOTE: All CLIMs use the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem. For more information about the
CIP subsystem, see the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual.
