2 NonStop NS2400 System Overview The characteristics of a NonStop NS2400 system are: Processor Intel Itanium Processor model NSE-AH Input Power AC-powered with single-phase and three-phase power configurations Cabinet • 36U, 19 inch rack • 42U, 19 inch rack Main memory 16 GB, 32 GB, or 48 GB Supported processor configurations 2 or 4 (4 processor maximum) Maximum processors 4 Supported CLuster I/O Modules (CLIMs) • Storage CLIMs • IP CLIMs for Ethernet • Telco CLIMs for Ethernet (M3UA protocol
Figure 1 (page 20) shows the rear view of a NonStop NS2400 system with four blade elements in a 42U modular cabinet with the optional extended runtime module (ERM) and UPS for the three-phase power configuration.
NonStop NS2400 Hardware Some variation of enclosure combinations is possible within the modular cabinets of a NonStop NS2400 system. The applications and purpose of any NonStop NS2400 system determine the number and combinations of hardware within a modular cabinet.
Versatile I/O (VIO) Enclosure A VIO enclosure, which is 4U, provides Gigabit Ethernet networking and connectivity to the processors. Two VIO enclosures, one required for each ServerNet fabric, are installed in a 19-inch rack. For a description and illustration of the VIO enclosure slot locations, see Figure 3 (page 40).
A Non Stop NS2400 series system requires a minimum CLIM DVD version for the RVU. This file is preinstalled on new systems. For version information, refer to the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Software Compatibility Guide. These are the front views of each CLIM model. For an illustration of the back views, refer to each supported CLIM configuration.
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. Two Storage CLIM configurations are available: • “DL380 G6 Storage CLIM” (page 24) • “DL380p Gen8 Storage CLIM ” (page 25) NOTE: A Storage CLIM pair supports a maximum of 4 SAS disk enclosures. This maximum applies to G6 and Gen8 Storage CLIM types.
DL380p Gen8 Storage CLIM The DL380p Gen8 Storage CLIM contains 3 PCIe HBA slots with these characteristics: Storage CLIM HBA Slot Configuration Provides 1 Part of base configuration ServerNet fabric connections via a PCIe 4x adapter. 2 SAS HBA is part of base configuration Two 6 Gbps SAS ports. 3 Optional customer order NOTE: Fibre Channel HBA is not part of base configuration. An FC HBA in slot 2 is an optional customer order. SAS HBA with two 6 Gbps ports or FC HBA with two 8 Gbps ports.
IP CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) (Optional) The IP CLIM is a rack-mounted server that is part of some NonStop NS2400 series system configurations. For RVU requirements for DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 IP CLIMs, see Table 1 (page 22). A NonStop NS2400 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 99).

Telco CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) (Optional) The Telco CLIM is a rack-mounted server that is part of some NonStop NS2400 series system configurations. For RVU requirements for DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 Telco CLIMs, see Table 1 (page 22). A NonStop NS2400 series system can have 0, 1, or 2 Telco CLIMs. For information about coexistence limits for IP and Telco CLIMs, see IP and Telco CLIM Coexistence Limits (page 99).
DL380p Gen8 Telco CLIM — Option 1 Five Ethernet Copper Ports Telco CLIM Slot Provides Slot 1 One ServerNet PCIe interface card, which provides the ServerNet fabric connections Slot 2 2-port 1GbE copper NIC Slots 3, 4, 5, 6 Not used DL380p Gen8 Telco CLIM — Option 2 Three Ethernet Copper and Two Ethernet Optical Ports Telco CLIM Slot Slot 1 One ServerNet PCIe interface card, which provides the ServerNet fabric connections Slot 2 2-port 1GbE optical NIC Slot 3, 4, 5, 6 30 Provides NonStop NS240
CLIM Cable Management Ethernet Patch Panel The HP Ethernet patch panel cable management product is used for cabling the IP and Telco CLIM connections. The patch panel simplifies and organizes the cable connections to allow easy access to the CLIM's customer-usable interfaces. IP and Telco CLIMs each have five customer-usable interfaces. The patch panel connects these interfaces and brings the usable interface ports to the patch panel.
Maintenance Switch The HP ProCurve maintenance switch provides the communication between the NonStop NS2400 system through the VIO enclosures, CLIMs, the optional UPS, and the system console running or accessing OSM software.
UPS for a Single-Phase Power Configuration (Optional) HP supports the HP model R5000 UPS for the single-phase power configuration because it utilizes the power fail support provided by OSM for this configuration. For information about the requirements for installing a UPS, see “Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)” (page 48).
Enterprise Storage System — ESS (Optional) NOTE: Connections to ESS and fibre channel devices are only supported on the NonStop NS2400 commercial system. An Enterprise Storage System (ESS) is a collection of magnetic disks, their controllers, and a disk cache in one or more standalone cabinets.
For fault tolerance, the primary and backup paths to an ESS logical device (LDEV) must go through different Fibre Channel switches. Some storage area procedures, such as reconfiguration, can cause the affected switches to pause. If the pause is long enough, I/O failure occurs on all paths connected to that switch. If both the primary and the backup paths are connected to the same switch, the LDEV goes down. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanies the ESS.
Term Definition Port A connector to which a cable can be attached and which transmits and receives data. • Group-Module-Slot (GMS) A notation method used by hardware and software in NonStop systems for organizing and identifying the location of certain hardware components. • Group-Module-Slot-Bay (GMSB) • Group-Module-Slot-Port (GMSP) Blade complex In a NonStop NS2400 system, OSM uses this term to hierarchically differentiate between each blade element.
Blade Element Group-Module-Slot Numbering (NS2400) • Group: ◦ In OSM Service Connection displays, 400 through 403 relates to blade complexes 0 through 4. Each blade complex includes a blade element and its associated processor. Example: group 403 = blade complex 3 ◦ In the OSM Low-Level Link, 400 relates to all blade complexes. Example: group 400 = any blade complex. • Module: ◦ In OSM Service Connection displays, a module represents either the blade element or the processor.
These tables show the default numbering for the blade elements of a NonStop NS2400 system when blade elements are powered on and functioning. NOTE: In OSM, if a blade element is not present or is powered off, processors might be renumbered. For example, if processor 2 has been removed, processor 3 becomes processor 2 in OSM displays.
The X fabric connects to ports BX and AX. The Y fabric connects to ports BY and AY. VIO Enclosure Group-Module-Slot Numbering (NS2400) A NonStop NS2400 system supports a single pair of VIO enclosures, identified as group 100. For an illustration of the VIO enclosure slots, see Figure 3 (page 40).
1 Port A in slot 6b is reserved for OSM. Figure 3 VIO Enclosure Slot Locations, NS2400 System CLIM Connection Group-Module-Slot-Port Numbering (NS2400) This table lists the default numbering for VIO connections to a CLIM.

This document is called a technical document and serves as the physical location and connection map for the system. Configuration Forms for the CLIMs and ServerNet Adapters (NS2400) Ethernet ports on a VIO enclosure or connections to an IP or Telco CLIM provide Gigabit Ethernet functionality in a NonStop NS2400 series system. Connections to the Fibre Channel HBA interfaces on a Storage CLIM provide the Fibre Channel functionality in the system.
3 Site Preparation Guidelines for NonStop NS2400 Series Systems This section describes power, environmental, and space considerations for a NonStop NS2400 series system at your site. Modular Cabinet Power and I/O Cable Entry Power and I/O cables can enter the NonStop NS2400 series system from either the top or the bottom rear of the modular cabinets, depending on how the cabinets are ordered from HP and the routing of the AC power feeds at the site.
EPO Requirement for HP R12000/3 UPS The rack-mounted HP R12000/3, UPS is supported for a three-phase power configuration. This UPS contains batteries, has a remote EPO (REPO) port, and can be optionally installed in a modular cabinet. For site EPO switches or relays, consult your HP site preparation specialist or electrical engineer regarding requirements.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) NOTE: A NonStop NS2400 series system supports the HP model R5000 UPS for a single-phase power configuration and the HP model R12000/3 UPS for a three-phase power configuration. Modular cabinets do not have built-in batteries to provide power during power failures.
Cooling and Humidity Control Do not rely on an intuitive approach to design cooling or to simply achieve an energy balance—that is, summing up to the total power dissipation from all the hardware and sizing a comparable air conditioning capacity. Today’s high-performance servers use semiconductors that integrate multiple functions on a single chip with very high power densities.
electronic components. Tape drives and some other mechanical devices can experience failures resulting from airborne abrasive particles. For recommendations to keep the site as free of dust and pollution as possible, consult with your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineer or your HP site preparation specialist. Zinc Particulates Over time, fine whiskers of pure metal can form on electroplated zinc, cadmium, or tin surfaces such as aged raised flooring panels and supports.

4 System Installation Specifications for NonStop NS2400 Series Systems This section provides specifications necessary for system installation planning for a NonStop NS2400 commercial system. NOTE: All specifications provided in this section assume that each enclosure in the modular cabinet is fully populated. The maximum current for each AC service depends on the number and type of enclosures installed in the modular cabinet. Power, weight, and heat loads are less when enclosures are not fully populated.
rear side of the rack. If the rack is equipped with a UPS, the UPS connects to the front mounted PDU core. The following illustrations show the connections between the PDU cores and the extension bars using a 42U Intelligent rack as an example. The locations of the extension bars might not match your installation. NOTE: These illustrations are not an exact visual representation of the rack. To show the connections clearly, the rear-mounted PDU is shown outside the rack with its outlet side showing.

AC Power Feeds Power can enter the NonStop NS2400 series system from either the top or the bottom rear of the modular cabinets, depending on how the cabinets are ordered from HP and how the AC power feeds are routed at the site. NonStop NS2400 series system cabinets can be ordered with the AC power cords for the PDU installed either: • Top: Power and I/O cables are routed from above the modular cabinet. • Bottom: Power and I/O cables are routed from below the modular cabinet.

CAUTION: If you are installing NonStop NS2400 series system enclosures in a rack, balance the current load among the available load segments. Using only one of the available load segments, especially for larger systems, can cause unbalanced loading and might violate applicable electrical codes.
voltage of AC power at the intended installation site for the system. For information on the PDUs supported for a NonStop NS2400 series system, see “AC Input Power for Modular Cabinets” (page 67). Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) A NonStop NS2400 series system can use the HP model R5000 UPS for a single-phase power configuration or the HP model R12000/3 UPS for a three-phase power configuration. An extended run-time module (ERM) can be combined with either UPS to extend battery time.

Enclosure Power Loads The total power and current load for a modular cabinet depends on the number and type of enclosures installed in it. Therefore, the total load is the sum of the loads for all enclosures installed. For examples of calculating the power and current load for various enclosure combinations, see “Calculating Specifications for Enclosure Combinations” (page 82). In normal operation, the AC power is split equally between the two PDUs in the modular cabinet.
1 2 Half of the plugs for an enclosure must be connected to a left-side extension bar and the other half connected to a right-side extension bar. PDUs must be supplied from separate branch circuits. Maintenance switch has only one plug. If a UPS is installed in the modular cabinet, the maintenance switch plug must be connected to the extension bar on the left side of the modular cabinet.
When OSM detects that one power rail is running on UPS and the other power rail has lost power, it logs an event indicating the beginning of the configured ride-through time period. OSM monitors whether AC power returns before the ride-through period ends, and: • If AC power is restored before the ride-through period ends, the ride-through countdown terminates and OSM does not take further steps to prepare for an outage.
and difficult than if all power failed and disk writes did not complete. The maximum ride-through time for each system will vary, depending on system load, configuration, and the UPS capability. Your rack-mounted HP UPS supplies power based on this ride-through time as long as the batteries are fully charged. You must ensure that the battery capacity for a fully-powered system allows enough time after OSM initiates the orderly shutdown to allow the disk cache to be flushed to nonvolatile media.
System State Description HALTED Normal halt condition. Halted processors do not participate in power-fail handling. A normal power-on also puts the processors into the HALTED state. POWER_OFF Loss of optic power from the blade element occurs, or the UPS batteries suppling the blade elements are completely depleted. When power returns, the system is essentially in a cold-boot condition.

5 System Configuration Guidelines for NonStop NS2400 Series Systems This section provides configuration guidelines and configuration restrictions for a NonStop NS2400 commercial system. Configuration restrictions are also described in Chapter 6 (page 99).
SAS Ports to SAS Tape Devices SAS tape devices have one SAS port that can be directly connected to the HBA SAS port on a Storage CLIM. Each SAS tape enclosure supports two tape drives. With a SAS tape drive connected to the system, you can use the BACKUP and RESTORE utilities to save data to and restore data from tape.
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. This illustration shows the locations of the hardware in the SAS disk enclosure as well as the I/O modules on the rear of the enclosure for connecting to the Storage CLIM. Figure 20 HP M8381-25 SAS Disk Enclosure, Front and Rear View SAS disk enclosures connect to Storage CLIMs via SAS cables.
Configuration Restrictions for Storage CLIMs • The maximum number of logical unit numbers (LUNs) for each CLIM, including SAS disks, ESS and tapes is 512. Each primary, backup, mirror and mirror backup path is counted in this maximum. • SAS disk enclosures connected to DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 CLIMs cannot be daisy-chained.

Ethernet to Networks Depending on your configuration, Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is provided by the Ethernet interfaces in one of these CLIMs or the Ethernet ports on the VIO enclosure: • “IP CLIM Ethernet Interfaces” (page 96) • “Telco CLIM Ethernet Interfaces” (page 97) • “VIO Enclosure Ethernet Ports” (page 98) The Telco CLIM, IP CLIM, or the Ethernet ports on a VIO enclosure provide Ethernet connectivity between NonStop NS2400 commercial systems and Ethernet LANs.
IP CLIM Ethernet Interfaces The DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 IP CLIM each have two types of Ethernet configurations: IP CLIM option 1 and IP CLIM option 2. • IP CLIM option 1 provides five Ethernet copper ports. • IP CLIM option 2 provides three Ethernet copper ports and two Ethernet optical ports. NOTE: The Telco CLIM Ethernet interfaces are identical to an IP CLIM with Configuration A. For more information, see “Telco CLIM Ethernet Interfaces” (page 97).
All CLIMs use the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem. For more information about managing your CLIMs using the CIP subsystem, see the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual.
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.

7 NonStop NS2400T and NS2400ST Systems Overview The NonStop NS2400T and NS2400ST servers are -48V Telco servers that combine HP Integrity rx2800 i4 servers with the NonStop operating system. Each rx2800 i4 server is adapted for use as a -48V blade element containing an Intel Itanium processor with two cores enabled and a ServerNet PCI adapter card to provide connectivity to the ServerNet fabrics.
1 2 Only a 36U seismic rack is supported for a NonStop NS2400ST system. This cabinet should never be used without first bolting it to the floor. See “IP and Telco CLIM T CG Coexistence Limits ” (page 149) for information about coexistence limits for IP and Telco CLIM CGs. Figure 32 (page 106) shows the rear view of a NonStop NS2400T system in a G2 42U commercial grade cabinet and a NonStop NS2400ST system in the 36U seismic rack. Both systems have two blade elements.
NonStop NS2400T and NonStop NS2400ST Hardware Some variation of enclosure combinations is possible within the modular cabinets of a NonStop NS2400T or NS2400ST system. The applications and purpose of any NonStop NS2400 series system determine the number and combinations of hardware within a modular cabinet.
A NonStop NS2400 series system supports up to four rx2800 i4 blade elements configured in pairs. Because modular hardware provides flexibility in how hardware is distributed in a rack, up to four blade elements can be installed in a single footprint. To reduce ambiguity in identifying proper cable connections to the blade element, an identification convention uses numbers to refer to each connection. A number such as 1, 2, 3, and 4 identifies each blade element.
DL380 G6 Storage CLIM (CLIM CG or CLIM T) The DL380 G6 Storage CLIM contains 4 PCIe HBA slots with these characteristics: Storage CLIM HBA Slot Configuration Provides 1 Part of base configuration ServerNet fabric connections via a PCIe 4x adapter 2 Part of base configuration One SAS external connector with two SAS links per connector and 6 Gbps per link is provided by the PCIe 8x slot 3 Optional customer order SAS 4 Optional customer order Not used DL380p Gen8 Storage CLIM (CLIM CG or CLIM T)

Fuse Panel NOTE: For your safety, there are procedures to observe when working with the fuse panel. For these procedures, ask your HP service provider to refer to the NonStop NS2200 Series and NS2400 Series Hardware Installation Manual. The fuse panel (Figure 35) fuse panel requires 2U of space. The fuses are accessed from the front of the cabinet.
The CG maintenance switch: • Has 24 10/100 Ethernet ports. • Uses two DC power inputs. • Has a ground connection between the switch chassis and the cabinet. NOTE: The procedures for the CG maintenance switch ground and power connections are described in the NonStop NS2200 Series and NS2400 Series Hardware Installation Manual which is a manual for HP authorized service providers.
The IP CLIM: • Can coexist with other types of CLIMs (Storage or Telco) in the same system. • Is configured as part of a pair for fault-tolerance. • Connects to the maintenance switch using an embedded Ethernet port. • Has a ground connection between the CLIM chassis and the cabinet. For the procedure for this ground connection and for details about the next bulleted item, ask your HP service provider to refer to the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Installation and Configuration Guide.
NOTE: For information about coexistence limits for IP and Telco CLIMs, see “IP and Telco CLIM T CG Coexistence Limits ” (page 149).
for other HP hardware that will be installed at the site with the NonStop NS2400T and NS2400ST systems, consult with your HP account team. For site preparation specifications relating to hardware from other manufacturers, refer to the documentation for those devices.
On NonStop NS2400 series systems, locations of the modular components are identified by: • • Physical location: ◦ Rack number ◦ Rack offset Logical location: group, module, and slot (GMS) notation as defined by their position on the ServerNet rather than the physical location OSM uses GMS notation in many places, including the Tree view and Attributes window, and it uses rack and offset information to create displays of the server and its components.
• Slot: ◦ In OSM Service Connection displays: – 1 represents the ServerNet PCI adapter card. The ServerNet PCI card is installed in PCI slot 1 in the rx2800 i4. – 3 and 4 represent the power supplies on the blade element. OSM slot 3 represents power supply 1; OSM slot 4 represents power supply 2. – 32 through 37 represent the fans on the blade element. OSM slot 32 represents fan 1, OSM slot 33 represents fan 2, and so on. ◦ In the OSM Low-Level Link, 1 relates to the location of the processor.
This illustration shows the physical GMS numbering for the rear view of a blade element: The X fabric connects to port BX and the Y fabric connects to port BY. Ports AX and AY are not used.

8 Site Preparation Guidelines for NonStop NS2400T and NS2400ST Systems This chapter includes these topics: • “System Cabling” (page 122) • “Emergency Power-Off Connections” (page 122) • “Electrical Power and Grounding Quality” (page 122) • “DC Power System Warnings” (page 123) • “Cooling and Humidity Control” (page 124) • “Weight” (page 124) • “Flooring” (page 124) • “Receiving and Unpacking Space” (page 125) • “Operational Space” (page 125) • “Dust and Pollution Control” (page 125) • “
Power Quality This equipment is designed to operate reliably over a wide range of voltages and frequencies. However, damage can occur if these ranges are exceeded. Severe electrical disturbances can exceed the design specifications of the equipment.
Cooling and Humidity Control Do not rely on an intuitive approach to cooling design or to simply achieve an energy balance—that is, summing up to the total power dissipation from all the hardware and sizing a comparable air conditioning capacity. Today’s high-performance servers use semiconductors that integrate multiple functions on a single chip with very high power densities.
The site floor structure and any raised flooring (if used) must be able to support the total weight of the installed computer system as well as the weight of the individual cabinets and their enclosures as they are moved into position. To determine the total weight of each cabinet with its installed enclosures, see the weight worksheet for the server you are installing (Specifications for NonStop NS2400ST Systems (page 137)).
Zinc Particulates Over time, fine whiskers of pure metal can form on electroplated zinc, cadmium, or tin surfaces such as aged raised flooring panels and supports. If these whiskers are disturbed, they can break off and become airborne, possibly causing computer failures or operational interruptions. This metallic particulate contamination is a relatively rare but possible threat.

11 System Configuration Guidelines (NS2400T and NS2400ST Systems) This section provides configuration guidelines for a NonStop NS2400T and NS2400ST system. NonStop NS2400T and NS2400ST systems use a flexible modular architecture. Therefore, various configurations of the system’s modular components are possible within configuration restrictions stated in this section and Chapter 6 (page 99).
SAS Ports to SAS Tape Devices SAS tape devices have one SAS port that can be directly connected to the HBA SAS port on a Storage CLIM CG. Each SAS tape enclosure supports two tape drives. With a SAS tape drive connected to the system, you can use the BACKUP and RESTORE utilities to save data to and restore data from tape. Up to four SAS CG disk enclosures can be connected to the default and optional HBA SAS interfaces on 1 pair of Storage CLIM CGs.
VIO Enclosure Considerations (NS2400T and NS2400ST Systems) These considerations apply to a NonStop NS2400T or NS2400ST system: • Only configurations with two VIO enclosures are supported. • The group number for the VIO enclosures is 100. • Two Ethernet connections, one in each VIO enclosure module, that connect to the maintenance entity (ME) are necessary to enable the OSM Service Connection.
12 Hardware Configuration in NS2400T and NS2400ST Cabinets This chapter shows the example locations of hardware components within the NS2400T and NS2400ST systems. It also describes the maximum number of components allowed in these systems and the coexistence limits for CLIMs. Maximum Number of Modular Components, NS2400T and NS2400ST Systems This table shows the maximum number of the modular components installed in an NS2400T or NS2400ST system.
Enclosure Locations in Cabinets For details about the location of NonStop NS2400T and NonStop NS2400ST enclosures and components within a cabinet, including the U location and cabling for enclosures and components, refer to the Technical Document for your system. Example Configurations, NonStop NS2400T Figure 42 (page 150) and Figure 43 (page 151) show the U locations of hardware components that can be installed in the commercial grade NS2400T 36U and 42U cabinets.
Figure 43 42U Configurations, NonStop NS2400T A second cabinet is required if space for optional components exceeds the capacity of the cabinet.
Example Configurations, NonStop NS2400ST Figure 44 (page 152) shows the U locations of hardware components that can be installed in the 36U seismic rack. Figure 44 36U Seismic Rack Configurations A second cabinet is required when space for optional components exceeds the capacity of the cabinet.
A Maintenance and Support Connectivity Local monitoring and maintenance of the NonStop NS2400 series system occurs over the dedicated service LAN. The dedicated service LAN provides connectivity between the system console and the maintenance infrastructure in the system hardware. Remote notification (or dial-out) support is provided by HP Insight Remote Support Advanced, an HP SIM plug-in.
Fault-Tolerant LAN Configuration HP recommends that you use a fault-tolerant LAN configuration for NonStop NS2400 series systems. A fault-tolerant configuration includes these connections to two maintenance switches as shown in Figure 45. • 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.
Figure 45 Example of a Fault-Tolerant LAN Configuration Dedicated Service LAN 155
DHCP, TFTP, and DNS Window-Based Services DHCP, TFTP, and DNS Windows based services are required for NonStop NS2400 series systems. As of J06.07, these services can reside either on a pair of System Consoles or a pair of CLuster I/O Modules (CLIMs). By default HP ships these services on: • NonStop system consoles for AC-powered systems • CLIMs for DC-powered systems You can move these services from the NonStop system consoles to CLIMs or from CLIMs to the system consoles.

Ethernet Cables Ethernet connections for a dedicated service LAN require CAT 5e or CAT 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. SWAN Concentrator Restrictions NOTE: SWAN and SWAN 2 concentrators are only supported on the NonStop NS2400 commercial system. SWAN/SWAN 2 concentrators can be connected to an IP CLIM or the 10/100 Ethernet ports on a VIO enclosure with these restrictions: • Isolate any ServerNet wide area networks (SWANs) on the system.
GMS for IP CLIM Location in VIO Enclosure TCP/IP Stack IP Configuration Hostname: osmlanx 100.3.4.1 $ZTCP1 IP: 192.168.36.11 Subnet: %hFFFFFF00 Hostname: osmlany Dedicated Service LAN Links With Telco CLIMs You can implement up-system service LAN connectivity using Telco CLIMs, if the system has at least two Telco CLIMs. The values in this table show the identification for the Telco CLIMs in a NonStop NS2400 series system and connected to the maintenance switch.
System Consoles for NonStop NS2400 Series Systems NOTE: Because HP requires two sources of HSS files for NonStop NS2400 series systems, you must have two system consoles (primary and backup) configured on the dedicated service LAN. If you do not have a second system console available for this purpose, you must order a second one with your system. New system consoles are preconfigured with the required HP and third-party software.
NOTE: Do not perform the next two bulleted items if your backup system console is shipped with a new NonStop NS2400 series system. In this case, HP has already configured these items for you. • Change the preconfigured DHCP configuration of the backup system console before you add it to the LAN. • Change the preconfigured IP address of the backup system console before you add it to the LAN.
B Cables Cable Types, Connectors, Length Restrictions, and Product IDs The following table lists supported cables including maximum length restrictions and product IDs. Although a considerable cable length can exist between the modular enclosures in the system, HP recommends that cable length between each of the enclosures be as short as possible. Connection From...

C Operations and Management Using OSM Applications The HP NonStop Open System Management (OSM) suite of products is at the core of managing and servicing NonStop servers, providing a variety of tools and working together with HP SIM, SIM plug-ins, and third-party products to meet the needs of NonStop manageability. OSM consists of both a server-based component and a host of client-based tools that reside on NonStop system consoles.
Connections for OSM Low-Level Link Down System Support In NonStop NS2400 series systems, the maintenance entity (ME) in the VIO enclosures provides dedicated service LAN services via the OSM Low-Level Link for both OS coldload, system management, and hardware configuration when hardware is powered up but the OS is not running. LAN connections are direct from the 10/100 Ethernet ports on the VIO enclosures to the maintenance switch that is installed in the modular cabinet.
D Default Startup Characteristics and Naming Conventions Each NonStop NS2400 series system uses “Default Naming Conventions” (page 168) and ships with the following default startup characteristics: $SYSTEM disks residing in either SAS disk enclosures: SAS and SAS CG Disk Enclosures • Systems with only two Storage CLIM/CLIM CGs and two SAS/SAS CG disk enclosures with the disks in these locations: CLIM/CLIM CG X1 Location Path Group Primary 100 Backup Module SAS/SAS CG Disk Enclosure Slot Enclosure
The command interpreter input file (CIIN) is automatically invoked after the first processor is loaded. The CIIN file shipped with new systems contains the TACL RELOAD * command, which loads the remaining processors. For default configurations of the HBA SAS ports, SAS disk enclosures, and load disks, see “Configurations for Storage CLIMs and SAS Disk Enclosures” (page 87).
Type of Object Naming Convention1 Example Description WANBOOT process Automatically created by WANMGR None None SWAN/SWAN 2 concentrators3 S number S10 Tenth SWAN/SWAN 2 concentrator in the system 1 2 3 For more information about CLIM processes that use the CIP subsystem and the naming conventions for these processes, see the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual. ESS is only supported on the NonStop NS2400 commercial system.
E Site Power Cables — Carrier-Grade Site cables and lugs must be provided by the customer or the installation provider for the customer. HP does not provide these items to the customer. IMPORTANT: The power cables should be assembled by a certified electrician only.

For power configurations of systems shipped in Intelligent racks starting with the J06.14 RVU, see “Power Distribution for NonStop NS2400 Series Systems In Intelligent Racks” (page 52).
Modular Single-Phase PDUs (North America and Japan Only) The NonStop NS2400 cabinet can contain up to 4 single-phase modular power distribution units (PDUs). On systems with a UPS, two modular PDUs are used. On systems without a UPS, four modular PDUs are used. Each modular PDU supports two extension bars, with each extension bar containing seven C13 receptacles. A total of eight extension bars are mounted on the rear of the cabinet (four on the left and four on the right).

G UPS and Data Center Power Configurations This appendix provides examples of UPS and data center power configurations, and: • Specifies the UPS configurations supported on the NonStop system including the recommended UPS configuration for when the disk drive write cache is enabled. • Identifies the non-supported UPS configurations that should not be used with the NonStop system when the disk drive write cache is enabled. • Explains why some configurations are not supported.
NonStop System With a Fault-Tolerant Data Center In this supported configuration, the NonStop system is installed in a Tier-IV data center. The data center tier classification is defined by the Uptime InstituteTM Tier Classifications Define Site Infrastructure White Paper. IMPORTANT: With this configuration, you can guarantee that the data center never loses power.
NonStop System With a Rack-Mounted UPS Figure 57 shows an example of a supported configuration in a NonStop system with the left PDUs connected to one or more rack-mounted UPS, and the right PDUs connected directly to the utility power. The rack-mounted UPS is connected to the utility power.
SAS Disk Enclosures With a Rack-Mounted UPS In this supported configuration, only SAS Disk Enclosures are protected by the rack-mounted UPS. The rack(s) with SAS Disk Enclosures and/or Storage CLIMs are supported by one or more rack-mounted UPS. Figure 58 shows an example of a supported configuration in a NonStop system with the left PDUs connected to the rack-mounted UPS, and the right PDUs connected to the utility power. The rack-mounted UPS is connected to the utility power.
Non-Supported UPS Configurations This section identifies non-supported UPS configurations and explains why those configurations are not supported. It also explains what you must do to prevent data loss. CAUTION: When disk drive write caching is enabled in the NonStop system, do not use any of these non-supported UPS configurations. They might result in data loss.
NonStop System With a Data Center UPS, Single Power Rail Figure 59 shows an example of a non-supported configuration in a NonStop system with the left PDUs directly connected to the utility power, and the right PDUs connected to the data center UPS. In this configuration, OSM does not manage or monitor the data center UPS.
NonStop System With Data Center UPS, Both Power Rails In this non-supported configuration, a NonStop system is installed in a Tier-I, Tier-II or Tier-III data center. The data center tier classification is defined by the Uptime InstituteTM Tier Classifications Define Site Infrastructure White Paper. IMPORTANT: lose power.
When the utility power fails, OSM does not detect that the data center UPS is running on battery and the UPS has entered its battery runtime. OSM does not initiate the controlled shutdown of the I/O operations and processors. • If the utility power is not restored before the data center UPS shuts down, any data in the NonStop system disk drive write cache that has not been transferred to the disk drive media is lost.
NonStop System With Rack-Mounted UPS and Data Center UPS in Parallel Figure 61 shows an example of a non-supported configuration in a NonStop system with the left PDUs connected to the rack-mounted UPS, and the right PDUs connected to the data center UPS. In this configuration, OSM manages and monitors the rack-mounted UPS. However, OSM does not manage or monitor the data center UPS.
NonStop System With Two Rack-Mounted UPS in Parallel Figure 62 shows an example of a non-supported configuration in a NonStop system with the left PDUs connected to a rack-mounted UPS, and the right PDUs connected to a different rack-mounted UPS. In this configuration, OSM manages and monitors the rack-mounted UPSs.
NonStop System with Cascading Rack-Mounted UPS and Data Center UPS Figure 63 shows an example of a non-supported configuration in a NonStop system with the left PDUs connected to the rack-mounted UPS, and the right PDUs connected to a data center UPS. To create a cascading UPS configuration, the rack-mounted UPS is connected to the data center UPS. Figure 63 NonStop System With Cascading UPS A cascading UPS configuration presents potential problems.
Once the downstream UPS is in this state, it still might not immediately perceive stable input power. The downstream UPS is thus compromised until it achieves a lock on stable input power and is able to recharge its batteries. Such problems are very difficult to predict. Their occurrence is a function of the output characteristics of the primary UPS, the input characteristics of the downstream UPS, and the load characteristics of the other devices deriving power from the upstream UPS.
