DHCP, DNS, and BOOTP Server Considerations
For all NonStop systems running J-series software or that have CLIMs attached, there must be two
sources of DHCP and DNS services on the dedicated service LAN, located either on two NonStop
system consoles or two CLIMs. If there is more than one system on the dedicated service LAN, then
all systems on this dedicated service LAN will share the same DHCP and DNS services.
The NonStop system consoles must be running Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008.
The DHCP and DNS servers are already installed on those NSCs. The DHCP and DNS servers are
enabled/configured by default for NSCs shipped with AC-powered systems, but are not
enabled/configured for NSCs shipped with DC-powered systems, where the default is having
DHCP and DNS servers configured on two CLIMs instead.
For all NonStop systems running J-series software, with the exception of NonStop NS2000 series
systems, BOOTP services are also hosted on those two DHCP and DNS servers. The BOOTP servers
on those NonStop system consoles or CLIMs make available the HSS firmware required for the
systems to boot. DC-powered systems use CLIMs instead of the systems consoles to host DHCP,
DNS, and BOOTP services.
DHCP, DNS, and BOOTP services are configured by your service provider when creating the
necessary dedicated service LAN or when adding or changing the NSCs or CLIMs that provide
those services on the LAN. For more information, refer to the NonStop Dedicated Service LAN
Installation and Configuration Guide. For information on installing the NonStop Maintenance LAN
DHCP DNS Configuration Wizard, see “Installing OSM Console Tools (T0634ABE)” (page 33).
For information on updating those HSS files required for BOOTP services, see “Verify Halted State
Services (HSS)” (page 17).
