Add a Server to the Operating Configuration
Add a Server to the Operating Configuration
A server in the operating configuration requires connections to both Ethernet switches
or hubs. If each switch or hub has an unused port, you can add a server to the
configuration online.
Before you add a server to the operating configuration:
•
Install a primary system console, a backup system console, and two Ethernet
switches or hubs. See Operating Configuration on page 10-3.
•
Ensure that the existing server in the operating configuration is fully operational.
See Section 8, Powering On and Starting the System.
•
Configure OSM or TSM. See Configuring the OSM or TSM Environment on
page 9-16 and the OSM User’s Guide or TSM Configuration Guide.
•
Because all servers are shipped with the same default low-level link (MSP) and
operating system IP addresses, ensure that the server you are adding has IP
addresses different from those of all servers currently on the Ethernet LAN. To
view or change the MSP IP addresses, use the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link.
Figure 10-6 shows a server that has been added to the operating configuration.
