Both ServerNet/FX Adapters in the Same Processor
Enclosure
Both ServerNet/FX Adapters in the Same Processor Enclosure
One ServerNet/FX adapter must be connected to the X-fabric (slot 51 or 53), and the
other ServerNet/FX adapter must be connected to the Y-fabric (slot 52 or 54).
The suggested configuration is to configure the primary and backup FOX monitor
processes in the same enclosure containing the ServerNet/FX adapters. This
configuration prevents a FOX ring from becoming unavailable in the event of a PMF
CRU removal.
You may also configure the primary and backup FOX monitor processes in separate
processor enclosures if one of the processor enclosures does not contain any
ServerNet/FX adapters.
Creating the FOX Monitor Process
You must create one FOX monitor process on each NonStop S-series server that will
connect to the FOX ring.
Using the SCF ADD PROCESS Command
Create the FOX monitor process as a generic process using the Kernel subsystem
SCF ADD PROCESS command. The command syntax is
$ZZKRN.#gpname
specifies a user supplied name of the generic process that will be controlled by the
Kernel subsystem manager process ($ZZKRN).
NAME $ZZFOX
specifies the name of this process, as recognized by the HP Tandem Advanced
Command Language (TACL). The process name must be $ZZFOX.
TYPE FOXMON
specifies the type of generic process being started. The FOX monitor process type
must be FOXMON.
