Connecting Multiple System Consoles
Connecting Multiple System Consoles
If you are installing a new system with multiple system consoles, you must create the
setup configuration before you can add a second system console. The setup
configuration is one server connected to one system console. See Figure 5-1.
It is recommended that you do not allow the setup configuration to serve as your
permanent working configuration because it lacks fault tolerance. After you start and
test the system, and perform the initial OSM or TSM configuration, add fault tolerance
to the setup configuration by connecting a backup system console and a second
Ethernet switch (you can also use an Ethernet hub). This recommended operating
configuration is discussed in Section 10, Configuring the System.
