Adding a Cluster to a FOX Ring
This subsection explains how to add a NonStop S-series server to an existing FOX
ring.
Task 1: Disconnect the corresponding LBUs at the cable
neighbors
Before you insert a NonStop S-series server into an existing FOX ring, you must

between which you plan to insert the NonStop S-series server).
To disconnect the LBUs, issue the following SCF commands:
At the left cable neighbor:
Note. The FOX monitor process ($ZZFOX) can only be deleted after a system load or
processor reload. Refer to Creating the FOX Monitor Process on page 2-3 for information.
Note. Adding a NonStop K-series system running the D-series NonStop Kernel operating
system to a FOX ring is explained in the Expand Network Management Guide for D-series
systems.
