Complete the Configuration Form
Complete the Configuration Form
Complete an E4SA Configuration Form for each E4SA you are adding to your system.
Figure 2-1 on page 2-4 shows an example of a completed Ethernet 4 ServerNet
Adapter (E4SA) Configuration Form.
When you add an adapter to a NonStop S-series system enclosure, you specify:
•
The name you want to use to identify the adapter; for example, E0153 for an
Ethernet 4 ServerNet adapter in slot 53 of the first system enclosure.
•
The location of the adapter within the system cabinet (group, module, and slot).
•
The processors that have access to the SACs on the adapter.
Before you begin the hardware installation, complete an E4SA configuration form.
Obtain the form from Appendix A, E4SA Configuration Form, and complete the
form as follows:
•
Enter the name of the system in the System Name field.
•
Enter the group number for this enclosure in the Group Number field.
•
Enter the slot number of this E4SA in the Slot Number field. E4SAs can be
installed in slots 51, 52, 53 and 54 of and I/O enclosure (expansion) but only
53 and 54 of a processor enclosure. Figure 2-2 on page 2-5 shows the
possible slot locations for the E4SA.
•
Because there is exactly one module in a system enclosure, the module
number, 1, is already indicated on the form.
•
Complete the Ethernet Port information block for each port on the adapter.
•
Enter the IP or network address to be assigned to the port in the IP
Address field.
•
Enter the adapter name. (See the Manufacturing Naming Conventions on
page 1-8.)
•
Enter the SAC name.
•
Enter the numbers of the processors that will have access to the SAC in
the SAC Access List field. The first processor listed is the preferred
processor.
•
Enter the PIF name associated with the SAC in the PIF Name field.
•
Enter the LIF name associated with each PIF in the LIF Name field.
•
When you have completed this form, enter today’s date in the Date field.
Note. E4SAs (including E4SA connections via S-series I/O enclosures) are not
supported on NonStop BladeSystems.
