Moving ServerNet Cables to Different Ports on the
ServerNet II Switches
b. On all other nodes in the cluster, use the SCF ABORT LINE command to abort 
the Expand-over-ServerNet line to the node being removed. Depending on 
your service LAN, you might have to log on to each node individually to do this. 
For example:
-> ABORT LINE $SC011 
c. On the node being removed, bring ServerNet cluster services to a STOPPED 
logical state:
-> STOP SUBSYS $ZZSCL
6. At the ServerNet II Switches, disconnect the X-fabric and Y-fabric fiber-optic cables 
for the node you removed from the cluster.
7. Reconnect the cables to the unused ports, making sure that:
•
The fiber-optic cables connect to the same port number on the X and Y 
ServerNet II Switches.
•
The fiber-optic cables connect to the same group of switches (X1 and Y1 or X2 
and Y2).
8. Check for link alive at both ends of each cable. About 10 seconds after you 
connect a cable to an unused port on the ServerNet II Switch, the green ServerNet 
port LED near the PIC lights to indicate link alive. The status lights on the front 
panel of the ServerNet II Switch also indicate link alive.
The ServerNet port LED at port 6 on the MSEB in group 01 lights to indicate link 
alive. If a ServerNet port LED does not light after 60 seconds, disconnect and 
reconnect the cable. If the cables are properly connected and one or both LEDs fail 
to light, a PIC or cable might be faulty. For procedures to replace cables and switch 
components, refer to Section 7, Troubleshooting and Replacement Procedures.
9. Use either the guided configuration procedure or SCF commands to add the 
removed node back into the cluster:
•
To use the guided configuration procedure:
a. From the system console of the system you are adding, choose 
Start>Programs>Compaq TSM>Guided Configuration 
Tools>Configure ServerNet Node.
b. Click Start and log on to the system.
c. When the guided procedure prompts you:
•
Click Yes to install the server tools.
•
Click Yes to enable automatic line-handler configuration.
•
Click Yes to start the SNETMON subsystem (ServerNet cluster 
services).
