Installing an IOAM Enclosure and Other
Components
which means that a query performed on the system returns NSR-G if the PMF is a
model 1951 PMF CRU (S70000).
After you change the CONFTEXT file, you must perform all required DSM/SCM
requests to create a new SYSnn, including the new processor type. Perform a system
load of the new SYSnn after the new hardware is installed.
For details on processor types, see the NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration
Guide.
Installing an IOAM Enclosure and Other Components
An IOAM enclosure enables you to access additional disk storage. It is mounted into a
standard 19-inch rack and connects to the MSEB of S76000 and later S-series
systems. IOAM enclosures contain several components, including specially-designed
ServerNet I/O adapters. One adapter of this type is the Fibre Channel ServerNet
adapter (FCSA), which is used to connect to additional disk storage, such as an
Enterprise Storage System (ESS) disk.
In preparation, note that:
•
Your site must be equipped with an operational LAN.
•
TSM does not support IOAM enclosures or Fibre Channel disk modules. You must
use OSM to monitor and service these hardware components.
•
IP addresses are assigned dynamically.
•
Both Tetra-8 and Tetra-16 are supported for IOAM installation.
Certain limitations exist for configurations that include ESS or IOAM enclosures. For a
comprehensive list of guidelines, contact your HP representative. Guidelines include:
•
Only ESS-trained technicians can handle or configure ESS equipment. For
activities that involve installing, configuring, or operating the ESS, the technician
trained for working with the ESS must be on site and available.
Caution. Never load the new SYSnn that contains the new processor type into your current
processors. Otherwise, a system outage will result, and you will have to fall back to your
previous RVU. To check your current processor type, use either OSM, if installed and
configured, or TSM, if it is installed and configured.
Caution. IOAM enclosures must be installed by service providers trained by HP.
Note. For more information about installing and configuring FCSAs or the ESS, contact your
HP service provider.
IOAM enclosures must be installed by service providers trained by HP. All cabling connections
must be performed by your service provider. Have your service provider refer to the Modular
I/O Installation and Configuration Guide, which is located in the NTL Service and Support
library.
ME firmware is customer updateable.
