ServerNet Adapter Terms and Concepts ServerNet Adapter A ServerNet adapter provides the interface between a ServerNet fabric and an I/O bus such as a SCSI bus. A ServerNet adapter contains a ServerNet bus interface (SBI) and one or more ServerNet addressable controllers (SACs).
Terms and Concepts ServerNet Link ServerNet Link A ServerNet link consists of two unidirectional point-to-point communication paths, one in each direction. A ServerNet link connects a ServerNet router to: • • A ServerNet node Another ServerNet router ServerNet Node A ServerNet node is a system in a ServerNet cluster. ServerNet nodes send and receive ServerNet packets. ServerNet Packet ServerNet packets are sent and received by ServerNet nodes.
Wormhole Routing Terms and Concepts Wormhole Routing Wormhole routing is a technique for routing ServerNet packets through ServerNet routers. Packets are immediately switched to the appropriate output ports as soon as they arrive at the router.
ServerNet Fabric Terms and Concepts ServerNet Fabric A ServerNet fabric is a collection of connected routers and ServerNet links that form an internal or external network. Two separate, identically configured fabrics, called the X fabric and the Y fabric, together provide a fault-tolerant interconnection for the ServerNet network. Each processor connects to both fabrics. Typically, ServerNet adapters also connect to both fabrics.
Protocols Terms and Concepts Protocols Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a connection-oriented protocol that provides for the reliable exchange of data between a sending and a receiving system, no matter how many intermediate nodes the data traverses. TCP regards the data as a stream of bytes (it is not record-oriented) and guarantees that all data sent is received by the destination system and arrives in the order in which it was sent.
IP Addresses Terms and Concepts Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for encapsulating information over point-to-point links. Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that extends a procedure-call form of process-to-process communication to a network environment. RPC is a way for programs running on client computers to invoke the services of a program running on a server computer.
IP Addresses Terms and Concepts IP Address Syntax An IP address is a 32-bit numeric value. IP addresses are typically represented by converting the bits to decimal values an octet (8 bits) at a time and separating each octet’s decimal value by a period (.). This is referred to as dot notation, or dotted decimal format. IP addresses are typically of the following form: n.n.n.n where n is a number in the range 0 through 255.
IP Addresses Terms and Concepts For example, to determine the network address and local address from the IP address 192.6.1.1: Indicates Class C 11000000.00000110.00000001.00000001 Network Address = 192.6.1 Local Address = 1 VST915.vsd The number of networks and hosts and the address ranges for each IP address class are: Address Class Number of Networks Number of Hosts/Network Address Range A 127 16,777,215 0.0.0.0-127.255.255.255 B 16,383 65,535 128.0.0.0-191.255.255.
Terms and Concepts IP Addresses Domain Name Servers Every domain is served by a domain name server. A domain name server takes host names and converts them into IP addresses (name-to-IP-address mapping). You are not required to use a domain name server unless your network connects to the Internet. In that case you must use a domain name server. Host Tables If your system is on a small, isolated network, it is possible to map host names to IP addresses using a host table.

2 The ServerNet Communications Network The ServerNet communications network is a low-cost, high-speed network within a NonStop S-series system that connects processors to each other and to peripheral controllers. This network offers the interconnectivity of a standard network, but does not depend on shared resources such as interprocessor buses or I/O channels.
The ServerNet Communications Network Flexibility of the ServerNet Architecture Flexibility of the ServerNet Architecture Concurrent Messages The ServerNet communications network allows many messages to be sent concurrently. Processors and I/O devices communicate over point-to-point ServerNet links connected by ServerNet routers, which are crossbar switches that can simultaneously connect any input with any output.
The ServerNet Communications Network Diagramming the ServerNet Communications Network Diagramming the ServerNet Communications Network You can represent the ServerNet communications network in simplified and detailed logical diagrams (also called ServerNet diagrams). Simplified Logical Diagrams Use simplified logical diagrams when it is not important to show the exact paths between endpoints on the ServerNet communications network, such as when diagramming the ServerNet architecture of an entire system.
The ServerNet Communications Network Detailed Logical Diagrams Detailed Logical Diagrams Use detailed logical diagrams when it is important to show the details of the ServerNet links and routers. The X or Y fabric is represented by a collection of circles and lines that represent individual routers and ServerNet links. This figure is a detailed logical diagram of typical two-processor systems, one using ServerNet router 1s, the other using ServerNet router 2s.

The ServerNet Communications Network Comparison to NonStop K-Series Systems Comparison to NonStop K-Series Systems On both NonStop K-series systems and systems that use the ServerNet architecture: • • • The disk drives are connected with a SCSI bus. Each processor maintains two independent paths to other processors. No single failure disrupts communications among the remaining system components.
3 Topologies This section introduces the concept of the tetrahedral topology and describes the ServerNet topologies available on NonStop S-series servers. Note. I/O adapter module (IOAM) enclosures are supported by NonStop S76000 and later NonStop S-series systems in Tetra 8 and Tetra 16 topologies.
Topologies Tetrahedral Topology The disadvantage of the tetrahedral topology is an increase in the number of cabling paths. Four enclosures in a tetrahedral topology require six instead of a minimal three paths for an inline topology. Note. The figures in this section are symbolic; they do not represent the actual wiring or enclosure placement for a server. 01 03 02 04 Inline Topology 02 01 02 04 03 03 01 Square Topology 01 04 02 Wye Topology 04 03 Tetrahedral Topology VST960.
Topologies ServerNet Topologies ServerNet Topologies The ServerNet topologies are based on the tetrahedral topology. The connections between the first four processor enclosures of a system form a tetrahedron. Tetrahedron VST949.vsd If a system has more than four processor enclosures, each additional enclosure is connected to one of the first four enclosures, at a vertex or corner of the tetrahedron. See page 3-5. I/O enclosures and IOAM enclosures are connected to processor enclosures.
Topologies Tetra 8 Topology Tetra 8 Topology The Tetra 8 topology supports a maximum of four processor enclosures (eight processors). Each processor enclosure can have up to two I/O enclosures connected to it, for a maximum of eight I/O enclosures. One or both I/O enclosures connected to group 01 can be replaced by IOAM enclosures. I/O Enclosures ServerNet Cables Processor Enclosures VST951.
Topologies Tetra 16 Topology Tetra 16 Topology The Tetra 16 topology builds on the Tetra 8 topology to a maximum of eight processor enclosures (16 processors). Each of the four processor enclosures that make up the Tetra 8 tetrahedron can have one processor enclosure connected to it. Processor Enclosures ServerNet Cables VST952.vsd In the Tetra 16 topology, the maximum number of I/O enclosures supported varies with the server model. A maximum of five IOAM enclosures are supported.
Topologies Tetra 16 Topology The first four processor enclosures form the inner tetrahedron. The rest of the processor enclosures form the outer tetrahedron. Outer tetrahedron Inner tetrahedron VST956.vsd The inner tetrahedrons are made up of groups 01, 02, 03, and 04, and the outer tetrahedrons of groups 05, 06, 07, and 08.
Topologies Tetra 16 Topology In the NonStop S7000, S7400, S7600, S7800, and S7800B servers, each processor enclosure in both the inner and outer tetrahedrons can have at most two I/O enclosures connected to it, for a maximum of 16 I/O enclosures. I/O Enclosure Processor Enclosure ServerNet Cables VST953.
Topologies Tetra 16 Topology In a NonStop Sxx000 system, each processor enclosure in the inner tetrahedron can have up to five I/O enclosures connected to it, and each processor enclosure in the outer tetrahedron can have up to four I/O enclosures connected to it. Therefore, the Tetra 16 topology allows a maximum of 36 I/O enclosures. NonStop systems populated by S76000 processors or higher, any or all of the I/O enclosures attached to group 01 can be replaced by IOAM enclosures.
Topologies Topology Configuration Considerations Topology Configuration Considerations Considerations for planning or changing the size or topology of your system: • • • • • • • • • • • • Processors are always installed in pairs, two processors in each processor enclosure. A Tetra 8 system can have one through four processor enclosures (two through eight processors). You can add processor enclosures to a Tetra 8 system until the maximum of four processor enclosures (eight processors) is reached.

IOAM enclosures must be installed and cabled by HP trained service providers. Information is available to your HP trained service provider in the Modular I/O Installation and Configuration Guide.
Topologies Comparing the Tetra 8 and Tetra 16 Topologies Comparing the Tetra 8 and Tetra 16 Topologies A system that contains more than eight processors must be configured as a Tetra 16 topology. However, a system that contains eight processors or fewer can be configured as either a Tetra 8 topology or a Tetra 16 topology. Depending on how you use your system, one topology is likely to be more efficient than the other for your needs.
Topologies Tetra 16 Topology Configurations Tetra 16 Topology Configurations All tetra-16 systems have a maximum of 8 processor enclosures with 16 processors. S7x00 systems have a maximum of 16 I/O enclosures and S7x000 systems have a maximum of 36 I/O enclosures.
Topologies Tetra 8 Topology Features Tetra 8 Topology Features Feature Implications Up to four processor enclosures are supported. Expansion beyond four processor enclosures requires a topology change. Each processor enclosure can support up to two I/O enclosures. Expansion beyond eight I/O enclosures requires a topology change. Processor enclosure slots 51 and 52 can contain SEBs or MSEBs. These SEBs or MSEBs support I/O enclosures. I/O enclosures multiply the number of available adapter slots.
Topologies ServerNet Topology Configuration Feature Implications (page 2 of 2) In the outer tetrahedron, groups 05 through 08: Processor enclosure slots 51 and 52 always contain SEBs or MSEBs. These SEBs or MSEBs maintain ServerNet connections between the processor enclosure on the outer tetrahedron and its associated processor enclosure on the inner tetrahedron. Only one ServerNet connector on each SEBs or MSEBs is used for this purpose.
Topologies The ServerNet Topology Configuration Value and CRU Replacement The ServerNet Topology Configuration Value and CRU Replacement When power is first applied to a PMF CRU, IOMF CRU, SEB, or MSEB, its ServerNet router is initialized. This can occur when the entire enclosure is first powered on or when one of these CRUs is inserted into a powered enclosure, such as during online CRU replacement.

9 The Planning and Configuration Process This section provides overviews of the process of installing a new system and the process of making hardware or software changes to an existing system.
The Planning and Configuration Process People and Functions People and Functions The people involved in the planning, installation, and configuration of a NonStop S-series system are: Person* Function System planner Plans for the hardware and software installation of a new system or for changes to a system already installed. Arranges for site preparation, schedules the installation, and completes the Installation Document Packet.
The Planning and Configuration Process Advantages of Using the Installation Forms For the installer, the forms provide the following information: • • • A list of the equipment that was ordered A floor plan to indicate the arrangement of equipment in the chosen rooms Diagrams of the hardware connections to be made, including the connections between the external equipment and the ServerNet adapters Most of the blank installation forms are in Appendix C, Blank Forms.
The Planning and Configuration Process Installing a New System Installing a New System Installing a new system involves: Plan the System on page 9-4 Install the System on page 9-6 Test the Customized Operating System on page 9-7 Perform Final Tasks on page 9-7 Plan the System 1. Decide what size system to order. 2.
The Planning and Configuration Process Plan the System 8. Complete an Installation Document Packet containing all the installation forms for the new system. You need to complete the following forms: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Installation Document Checklist. System Equipment Inventory Form. List only the equipment that you expect to receive with this order. Enclosure Arrangement Diagram. Floor Plan.
The Planning and Configuration Process Install the System Install the System 1. Install and cable the new system according to the instructions provided in the NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation and FastPath Guide. (This step does not include installing SWAN concentrators.) 2. Your HP trained service provider must install, cable, power-on, and configure IOAM enclosures in the new system. 3.
The Planning and Configuration Process Test the Customized Operating System 14. Decide whether you want or need to make any other configuration changes, such as adding other devices connected to Ethernet LANs to the system configuration or changing configuration attributes of disk or tape drives. 15. If you want to change the system configuration, follow the instructions in the NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation and FastPath Guide.
The Planning and Configuration Process Changing an Existing System Changing an Existing System Changing the System Name or System Number The system name and Expand system (node) number can be changed through the SCF Kernel subsystem. Because the attributes that change the system name and system number are stored in a SEEPROM in the enclosure backplane, changes to them require a system reset and reload to take effect.
The Planning and Configuration Process Enclosure Interleaving for Storage Devices Enclosure Interleaving for Storage Devices Within a topology branch (a processor enclosure and all the I/O enclosures connected directly to it), you can configure paths to disk, tape, and Open SCSI devices through adapters in different enclosures. This feature is called enclosure interleaving.
The Planning and Configuration Process Enclosure Interleaving for Storage Devices Recommendations These recommendations are not required, except where they conform to the preceding limitations. Note. This subsection does not apply to the Fibre Channel disk drives that reside in modular disk drive enclosures (DDEs). $SYSTEM cannot exist on these disk drives. For more information about the DDE, refer to the Modular I/O Installation and Configuration Guide.
The Planning and Configuration Process • Configuring $SYSTEM Disk Slots Configure the -P and -M paths to an external disk to use 6760 adapters on different ServerNet fabrics. For All Internal Disk Drives • • Configure the primary half of a mirrored internal disk volume in an odd-numbered slot and the mirror half in the next higher even-numbered slot. Follow this recommendation even when the two halves are in different enclosures.

10 Planning for System Availability and Support This section describes advance planning required for minimizing the total number of minutes that an application or system is unavailable.
Planning for System Availability and Support How Availability Is Measured How Availability Is Measured HP believes that the measurement of availability should be from the end user’s perspective. Simply recording that a certain hardware or software component is not operating is not enough; you must also take into consideration the user’s ability to access the service, the quality of the service provided, and the acceptability of the response time to the user.
Planning for System Availability and Support Evaluating System Performance and Growth Evaluating System Performance and Growth Evaluating system performance and growth involves tracking and anticipating growth and then establishing plans to accommodate that growth.
Planning for System Availability and Support Implementing a Formal Change-Control Process to Manage Change Implementing a Formal Change-Control Process to Manage Change Change control is the process for proposing, planning, implementing, and testing change and is a key requirement for minimizing the duration of planned outages.
Planning for System Availability and Support Preventing Unplanned Outages Preventing Unplanned Outages In addition to minimizing the number and duration of planned outages, preventing unplanned outages is an important component of minimizing outage minutes. Causes of Unplanned Outages Studies have identified four common causes of unplanned outages (in order of greatest frequency): 1. Operations management errors 2. Hardware configuration that is not fault-tolerant 3.
Planning for System Availability and Support • • • Minimizing Unplanned Outage Minutes Monitoring critical objects in your system environment. Automating operations, intervention, recovery, and performance-monitoring tasks and auditing your system and applications for fault tolerance. Creating an alternate system disk so that it is possible to recover from unexpected difficulties in any of these problem-management procedures.
Planning for System Availability and Support Calculating the Maximum Power-Fail Delay Time Calculating the Maximum Power-Fail Delay Time 1. Software in each processor calculates a power-fail delay time using the following information from the service processor: • • The battery charge. The hardware configuration of that group. The more components in the group, the shorter the amount of time the batteries can power all the components.
Planning for System Availability and Support • Battery Considerations In case of an AC power failure, all equipment in all the system enclosures continues to operate for the shorter of these two times: ° ° The configured maximum power-fail delay time The shortest calculated maximum power-fail delay time of any group in the entire system The operating system continues to process data until that shortest calculated maximum power-fail delay time expires.
11 Planning for LAN Communications This section describes requirements and considerations for configuring local area networks (LANs) for NonStop S-series servers.
Planning for LAN Communications Dedicated LAN for SWAN Concentrators Dedicated LAN for SWAN Concentrators The dedicated LAN for SWAN concentrators can connect only to SWAN or SWAN 2 concentrators, the Ethernet ports on E4SAs and FESAs that connect to the SWAN concentrators, and Ethernet switches or hubs provided by HP.

15 Planning for System Configuration When you install a new system or change the configuration of a system, you must plan configuration tasks in advance. This section provides an overview of configuration tasks. Detailed instructions for performing the configuration tasks are located in the NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation and FastPath Guide or other manuals referred to here for related configuration needs. Caution.
Planning for System Configuration Installing a Product Revision Installing a Product Revision A product revision, such as an SPR, might include one or more fixes to programs supplied by HP, or it might contain code that adds new function to an HP software product. Installing a product revision might or might not require that the system be shut down. Follow the installation instructions provided with the product revision. The DSM/SCM User’s Guide describes installing product revisions in detail.
Planning for System Configuration Changing the System Topology Changing the System Topology To change the topology of a system, you must shut down the system. The NonStop SSeries System Expansion and Reduction Guide gives complete information about the procedures necessary to reconfigure your system offline. Changing the CONFTEXT File Any changes to the CONFTEXT file take effect after the next system load. If you want to modify the CONFTEXT file, refer to the System Generation Manual for G-Series RVUs.

Planning for System Configuration Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) Kernel-managed swap space manages virtual memory using swap files controlled by the operating system. Pages of memory not currently in use are swapped, or copied, to disk during a shortage of available physical memory. These memory pages are swapped back or overwritten to physical memory when the code or data are needed. When swapped to disk, the data are stored in swap files.
Planning for System Configuration OSM Package KMSF and the Operations Environment KMSF affects routine operations. Operations staff must monitor KMSF and operator messages to spot potential problems and dynamically add swap space as needed. Event Management Service (EMS) messages are generated to alert staff to swap files that have reached a configured threshold and to changes in KMSF configuration.

D Case Study: ServerNet Cable Lengths This case study documents the planning and installation of ServerNet cables in a NonStop S70000 system for a fictitious company. Note. Examples and sample cable routes are for illustration only and might not be suited for your particular purpose. HP does not warrant, guarantee, or make any representations regarding the use, or the results of the use, of any examples or cable routes in any documentation.
Case Study: ServerNet Cable Lengths Choosing Cable Lengths Choosing Cable Lengths The planner begins to choose the cable lengths for the system starting with processor enclosure group 01. Group 01 must be connected to I/O enclosure group 12. Because the processor enclosures and I/O enclosures are in different rows, the cables between them must cross the service aisle. The planner knows that the computer room at Developers Inc. is equipped with a raised floor.
Case Study: ServerNet Cable Lengths Choosing Cable Lengths 7. Repeats Step 2 through Step 6 for each ServerNet connection that goes across rows.
