When to Use This Section
The ServerNet fabrics provide the communication paths used for interprocessor
messages, for communication between processors and I/O devices, and (in the case of
ServerNet clusters) for communication between systems. The ServerNet fabrics
consist of two entirely separate communication paths—the X fabric and the Y fabric.
Use this section to learn more about monitoring and performing recovery operations for
the internal and external ServerNet fabrics. Monitoring and performing recovery
operations for communication between processors and I/O devices other than IOMF
CRUs are not discussed in this guide.
Note. If the system is a member of a ServerNet cluster, ServerNet connections to other
members are accomplished by extending the ServerNet fabrics outside the system. Such
external connections make up the external ServerNet fabrics. The ServerNet Cluster Manual
provides additional information about monitoring the external ServerNet fabrics.
