ServerNet Clusters
Two important subsystems are used to manage a ServerNet Cluster. The ServerNet
Cluster (SCL) subsystem is the system configuration environment that enables
ServerNet communication between processors in different nodes of a ServerNet
Cluster. The external SAN manager (SMN) subsystem is the software environment that
enables control of the external ServerNet fabrics.
