Section Title Abstract
1
The Resizing
Process
This section gives background information necessary
to understand system resizing.
2
Planning System
Expansion
This section defines the concept of blocks and
describes how to use the worksheets in this guide to
plan the orderly addition of enclosures.
3
Planning System
Reduction
This section defines the concept of a donor system and
describes how to plan the orderly removal of
enclosures.
4
Reducing a System
Online
This section describes the procedure for removing
enclosures from a system online, either to reduce a
system or to expand a target system.
5
Reducing a System
Offline
This section describes the procedure for removing
enclosures offline.
6
Expanding a
System Online
This section describes the procedure for adding
enclosures online to expand a system.
7
Troubleshooting This section gives troubleshooting information to solve
problems encountered during system expansion or
reduction.
A
Common System
Operations
This appendix describes how to perform common
operations involved in resizing your system.
B
ServerNet Cabling This appendix shows diagrams of all ServerNet cable
connections. It also includes examples of how you can
map these diagrams to actual NonStop S-series
enclosures.
C
Checklists and
Worksheets
This appendix contains checklists and worksheets for
planning system resizing.
D
Stopping Devices
and Processes
This appendix gives examples of identifying devices
and processes before you move or stop them.
