Steps for Merging Two Star Topologies to Create a
Split-Star Topology
3. Select one of the ServerNet clusters to be the X1/Y1 cluster. If necessary, upgrade
the ServerNet cluster software on all nodes in the cluster by using the steps in
Upgrading Software to Obtain G06.12 Functionality on page 4-17.
4. Select one of the ServerNet clusters to be the X2/Y2 cluster. If necessary, upgrade
the ServerNet cluster software on all nodes in the cluster by using the steps in
Upgrading Software to Obtain G06.12 Functionality on page 4-17.
5. From any node on the X1/Y1 cluster, run the Add Switch guided procedure. From
the system console of any node in the cluster, choose Start>Programs>Compaq
TSM>Guided Configuration Tools>Add Switch.
The guided procedure checks the cluster switch hardware and software and allows
you to:
•
Update the ServerNet II Switch firmware and configuration if necessary
•
Change the configuration tag so that the cluster switch supports Configuration
1 (ServerNet node numbers 1 through 8) or Configuration 2 (ServerNet node
numbers 9 through 16)
•
Perform soft or hard resets as necessary
6. From any node on the X2/Y2 cluster, run the guided procedure for adding a cluster
switch (Add Switch).
7. When the guided procedure indicates that both clusters are ready to add remote
cluster switches, you can connect the four-lane links between the X1/Y1 and X2/Y2
cluster switches. Refer to Connecting the Four-Lane Links on page 4-64.
8. From any node on the X1/Y1 cluster, run the guided procedure for adding a cluster
switch again. In the Local Switch Information dialog box, click the Test button to
test the connectivity between the X1/Y1 and X2/Y2 cluster switches.
9. From any node on the X2/Y2 cluster, run the guided procedure for adding a cluster
switch again. In the Local Switch Information dialog box, click the Test button to
test the connectivity between the X2/Y2 and X1/Y1 cluster switches.
10. Log on to a node in the range of ServerNet node numbers 1 through 8, and use the
TSM Service Application to verify the operation of the local X-fabric and Y-fabric
cluster switches.
11. Log on to a node in the range of ServerNet node numbers 9 through 16, and use
the TSM Service Application to verify the operation of the local X-fabric and Y-
fabric cluster switches.
