Add a NonStop
Cluster Switch (model
6770) to each fabric
of a ServerNet cluster
to upgrade to the
split-star or tri-star
topology?
Use the Add Switch guided configuration procedure
(Start>Programs>Compaq TSM>Guided Configuration
Tools>Add Switch). The steps for using the procedure depend
on the topology you want to upgrade to. In general, you start
with two or three functioning ServerNet clusters. You run the
procedure on each fabric of each cluster before connecting
four-lane or two lane-links between the cluster switches. For
detailed steps, refer to the online help or the ServerNet Cluster
Manual.
Replace a NonStop
ServerNet Switch
(model 6780)?
You replace a 6780 switch by using an OSM guided procedure.
OSM is used for clusters built with 6780 switches in a layered
topology. Online help for the guided procedure provides detailed
instructions on how to physically replace the 6780 switch. It is
recommended but not required that the switch be replaced by a
service provider.
You can launch the procedure on a workstation that has a LAN
connection to any node connected to the 6780 switch.
From a
system console running OSM, in the tree pane, right-click the
switch module, select Actions, and then select the Replace
action.
Replace components
in a 6780 switch?
You replace the 6780 switch logic board or node PICs by using
the OSM Replace a Switch component guided procedure. Online
help for the guided procedure provides detailed instructions on
how to physically replace the 6780 switch logic board or a 6780
node PIC. It is recommended but not required that these
components be replaced by a service provider.
You can launch the procedure on a workstation that has a LAN
connection to any node connected to the 6780 switch.
From a
system console running OSM, in the tree pane, right-click either
the logic board or node PIC you want to replace, select
Actions, and then select the Replace action.
Other PICS and components in a 6780 switch are replaced
manually. See the ServerNet Cluster 6780 Planning and
Installation Guide for the specific manual procedure.
Migrate a cluster from
one of the star
topologies to the
layered topology?
To migrate a cluster to the layered topology, you must have on
hand all the necessary hardware and software described in the
ServerNet Cluster 6780 Planning and Installation Guide.
See the instructions in the ServerNet Cluster 6780 Planning and
Installation Guide to migrate to the layered topology.
Add zones or layers to
a cluster with the
layered topology?
Adding zones or layers to a layered topology is done with
manual procedures. See the instructions in the ServerNet
Cluster 6780 Planning and Installation Guide to add zone or
layers to a cluster with the layered topology.
