One System Console Managing One System (Setup
Configuration)
The one system console on the LAN must be configured as the primary system
console. This configuration is called the setup configuration and is used during initial
setup and installation of the system console and the server.
The setup configuration is an example of a secure, stand-alone network. A LAN cable
connects the primary system console to an Ethernet switch or hub, and two additional
LAN cables connect the Ethernet switch or hub to the processor multifunction (PMF)
CRUs in group 01 of the server. The Ethernet switch or hub allows you to later add a
backup system console and additional system consoles.
When you use this configuration, you do not need to change the preconfigured IP
addresses.
Note. The figures in this section are not intended as wiring diagrams. The actual connections
to the Ethernet switches or hubs are described in the NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation
and FastPath Guide.
Note. Because the system console and Ethernet switch or hub are single points of failure that
could disrupt access to OSM or TSM, the setup configuration is not recommended for
operations that require high availability.
