Changing the Hardware in a Node Connected
to a ServerNet Cluster
If you make changes to the hardware in the NonStop server that provides the
connections to the ServerNet cluster, the node might lose connectivity to the cluster or
the node’s connections to the cluster might not be in a fault-tolerant state for a short
time. For example, the connection to the cluster would be affected on one fabric if you
replaced one of the MSEBs in the group 01 system enclosure of a NonStop S-series
server.
Expanding or Reducing a NonStop S-Series Server
Like any HP NonStop S-series server, a node in a ServerNet cluster can be expanded
or reduced (system enclosures can be added or removed) while the server is online. To
add or remove system enclosures in a NonStop S-series server, refer to the NonStop
S-Series System Expansion and Reduction Guide.
