Task 9: Perform the Guided Procedure for
Configuring a ServerNet Node
launched from within the OSM Service Connection by performing the Replace action
from the SEB you want to replace. Online help is available to assist you in performing
the procedures.
What the Guided Procedure Does
The guided procedure for configuring a ServerNet node:
•
Verifies that the group 01 MSEBs are installed and ready
•
Tells you when to connect the fiber-optic cables
•
Prompts you to start ServerNet cluster services by placing the SUBSYS object in
the STARTED state and collects cluster information
•
Allows you to configure Expand-over-ServerNet line-handler processes and start
Expand-over-ServerNet lines
When you are finished using the guided procedure, go to Task 10: Check for Problems
on page 3-23.
Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to an MSEB or ServerNet II
Switch
Do not connect fiber-optic cables to the MSEBs until instructed to do so by the guided
procedure for configuring a ServerNet node. If you connect the cables before you are
instructed to do so, the procedure cannot generate the Expand-over-ServerNet line-
handler processes automatically. For more information about automatic configuration
of line-handler processes, see the online help for the guided procedure.
1. Label the cables as described in the ServerNet Cluster 6770 Hardware Installation
and Support Guide.
2. If dust caps are installed on the ceramic ferrule tips of each connector, remove the
dust caps.
3. Inspect each fiber-optic cable connector. See Figure 3-2.
Note. For information about how to connect the fiber-optic cables, refer to Connecting a
Fiber-Optic Cable to an MSEB or ServerNet II Switch on page 3-18 or to the online help for
the guided procedure.
Note. For information about using SCF to configure Expand-over-ServerNet line-handler
processes manually, refer to Using SCF to Configure Expand-Over-ServerNet Line-
Handler Processes on page 3-22 or the Expand Configuration and Management Manual.
Note. Handle the fiber-optic cables gently. Do not step on a fiber-optic cable or place a heavy
object on top of a fiber-optic cable. If the cable must be installed with a bend, make sure the
bend radius is not smaller than 1.8 inches (45 mm).
