Document History
New and Changed Information
The manual has been updated with architectural information to describe the server
clustering capabilities that are provided by the HP NonStop ServerNet Switch (model
6780). These switches introduce the concept of the layered topology, which expands
the number of supported ServerNet nodes to 64. This topology is described primarily
on pages 1-46 through 1-49.
Section 1, Introduction, has also been updated to more accurately reflect actual
supported configurations.
This publication has been updated to reflect new product names. Since product
names are changing over time, this publication might contain both HP and Compaq
product names.
