Planning for the Dedicated OSM or TSM LAN
Figure 2-15 shows the same ServerNet cluster but with an Ethernet LAN that links all
the nodes in the cluster. This LAN configuration, which could be a dedicated LAN or a
public LAN, allows any system console to manage resources on any node.
Using Multiple Copies of a OSM or TSM Application
The Ethernet LAN configuration shown in Figure 2-15 also allows one system console
to manage the resources for multiple nodes at the same time. Even though you can log
on to only one system at a time, you can launch multiple copies of the same OSM or
TSM application, logging on to a different system for each copy. Refer to Appendix F,
Common System Operations, for more information about launching multiple copies of
the same OSM or TSM application.
