Summary of Configuration Steps
Summary of Configuration Steps
Once all hardware and software requirements have been met (refer to Required
Hardware and Software on page 12-1 for details), configuring Expand-over-ServerNet
connections involves the following steps:
Configuring a ServerNet Node
Refer to the online help for the guided procedure for configuring a ServerNet node for
assistance in preparing a NonStop S-series server to become a node in a ServerNet
cluster. You use the guided procedure to:
•
Create a ServerNet cluster for the first time.
•
Add a node to an already configured ServerNet cluster.
Step 1: Create a Profile for the Expand-Over-
ServerNet Line-Handler Process
You can create a profile for the Expand-over-ServerNet line-handler processes using
the PEXPSSN profile. This profile is provided in the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume. You
can also create a new profile from an existing profile, or you can create your own
profile. For complete information about profiles, refer to the WAN Subsystem
Configuration and Management Manual.
This subsection shows you how to create a profile using PEXPSSN.
