The Resizing Process
HP NonStop S-Series System Expansion and Reduction Guide—522465-009
1-7
System Configuration
Because the communication between and among enclosures is the basis of how your
system operates, you should understand the principles of system communication:
System Configuration
To resize your system safely, you must know how every device in your system is
configured. This knowledge will help you avoid problems such as:
•
Expecting an enclosure to support more functions than it is designed for
•
Removing an enclosure that supports a system-critical function
Gather all the documentation for your present system, including planning and
configuration forms for all enclosures, adapters, and peripherals in your system.
If you do not have all these forms, copy forms out of the appropriate manuals and
record your system configuration.
Operations
When the number of enclosures in your system changes, the basic operations of the
system itself are affected.
Because you are resizing your system, you must either configure added enclosures or
reconfigure the system itself.
Moving a System Console
You have the choice of:
•
Using one system console for the entire resizing procedure
•
Using separate workstations for the donor system, the block being added, and the
target system
