Guided Procedures Have Changed
Some of the TSM guided procedures used with a ServerNet cluster have been
replaced by new actions in the OSM Service Connection. Other guided procedures are
now launched directly by an action in the OSM Service Connection instead of from the
guided procedures interface.
Options for Changing Topologies
To update your cluster to the split-star or tri-star topologies, you can use the OSM
Update Topology interactive action which replaces the TSM Add Switch guided
procedure. The tasks are described in the OSM Service Connection online help, which
is accessible when you perform the Update Topology action.
If you prefer, you can still use the TSM Add Switch guided procedure as described in
the ServerNet Cluster Manual.
If you need to migrate from one of the star topologies to the layered topology, see the
ServerNet Cluster 6780 Planning and Installation Guide.
If you use the OSM Update Topology action to update to the split-star or tri-star
topology, you should still refer to the ServerNet Cluster Manual for planning
information. Most of the information in the ServerNet Cluster Manual still applies, but:
•
References to TSM software generally apply to OSM software. To learn more
about the differences, see For More Information About OSM.
•
The OSM switch names are slightly different than the TSM switch names.
•
The TSM client and server versions are not relevant because you should be
running the OSM package on all nodes. The OSM package supports all network
topologies of a ServerNet cluster.
TSM Guided Procedure OSM Changes
Add Switch Procedure has been replaced by the Update Topology action
of the ServerNet Cluster Resource. The tasks have been
streamlined and are documented in the OSM Service
Connection online help.
Replace MSEB Procedure is now launched by the Replace action of the
MSEB.
Replace Switch Procedure has been enhanced to support switch types for all
topologies. For the star topologies, the procedure is launched
by the Replace action of the Switch Module, the ServerNet II
Switch, the AC Transfer Switch, or the UPS.
Update Switch Procedure has been replaced by separate Firmware Update
and Configuration Update actions of the ServerNet II Switch.
Configure ServerNet Node Procedure has been streamlined and renamed. It is now
launched by the Add Node to ServerNet Cluster action of the
System resource.
