diagnostic software for NonStop BladeSystems. When supplied with a new NonStop BladeSystem,
system consoles have factory-installed HP and third-party software for managing the system.
You can install software upgrades from the HP NonStop System Console Installer DVD image.
Some system console hardware, including the PC system unit, monitor, and keyboard, can be
mounted in the NonStop BladeSystem's 19-inch rack. Other PCs are installed outside the rack
and require separate provisions or furniture to hold the PC hardware.
UPS and ERM (Optional)
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is optional but recommended where a site UPS is not
available. HP supports the HP model R12000/3 UPS because it utilizes the power fail support
provided by the OSM. For information about the requirements for installing a UPS, see
There are two different versions of the R12000/3 UPS:
•
For North America and Japan, the HP AF429A is utilized and uses an IEC309 560P9 (60A)
input connector with 208V three phase (120V phase-to-neutral)
•
For International, the HP AF430A is utilized and uses an IEC309 532P6 (32A) input connector
with 400V three phase (230V phase-to-neutral).

For other UPS's, refer to the documentation shipped with the UPS.
Enterprise Storage System (Optional)
An Enterprise Storage System (ESS) is a collection of magnetic disks, their controllers, and a disk
cache in one or more standalone cabinets. ESS connects to the NonStop BladeSystem via the
Storage CLIM's Fibre Channel HBA ports (direct connect), Fibre Channel ports on the IOAM
enclosures (direct connect), or through a separate storage area network (SAN) using a Fibre
Channel SAN switch (switched connect). For more information about these connection types,
see your service provider.
NOTE: The Fibre Channel SAN switch power cords might not be compatible with the modular
cabinet PDU. Contact your service provider to order replacement power cords for the SAN switch
that are compatible with the modular cabinet PDU.

Figure 1-3 Connections Between Storage CLIMs and ESS
For fault tolerance, the primary and backup paths to an ESS logical device (LDEV) must go
through different Fibre Channel switches.
Some storage area procedures, such as reconfiguration, can cause the affected switches to pause.
If the pause is long enough, I/O failure occurs on all paths connected to that switch. If both the
primary and the backup paths are connected to the same switch, the LDEV goes down.
Refer to the documentation that accompanies the ESS.
Tape Drive and Interface Hardware (Optional)
For an overview of tape drives and the interface hardware, see “Fibre Channel Ports to Fibre
For a list of supported tape devices, ask your service provider to refer to the NonStop BladeSystem

The rack name is located on an external label affixed to the rack, which includes the system name
plus a 2-digit rack number.
Rack offset is labeled on the rails in each side of the rack. These rails are measured vertically in
units called U, with one U measuring 1.75 inches (44 millimeters). The rack is 42U with U1 located
at the bottom and 42U at the top. The rack offset is the lowest number on the rack that the
component occupies.

2 Site Preparation Guidelines
This section describes power, environmental, and space considerations for your site.
Modular Cabinet Power and I/O Cable Entry
Power and I/O cables can enter the NonStop BladeSystem from either the top or the bottom rear
of the modular cabinets, depending on how the cabinets are ordered from HP and the routing
of the AC power feeds at the site. NonStop BladeSystem cabinets can be ordered with the AC
power cords for the PDUs exiting either:
•
•
Top: Power and I/O cables are routed from above the modular cabinet.
Bottom: Power and I/O cables are routed from below the modular cabinet
Emergency Power-Off Switches
Emergency power off (EPO) switches are required by local codes or other applicable regulations
when computer equipment contains batteries capable of supplying more than 750 volt-amperes
(VA) for more that five minutes. Systems that have these batteries also have internal EPO hardware
for connection to a site EPO switch or relay. In an emergency, activating the EPO switch or relay
removes power from all electrical equipment in the computer room (except that used for lighting
and fire-related sensors and alarms).
EPO Requirement for NonStop BladeSystems
NonStop BladeSystems without an optional UPS (such as an HP R12000/3 UPS) installed in the
modular cabinet do not contain batteries capable of supplying more than 750 volt-amperes (VA)
for more that five minutes, so they do not require connection to a site EPO switch.
EPO Requirement for HP R12000/3 UPS
The rack-mounted HP R12000/3, 12kVA UPS can be optionally installed in a modular cabinet,
contains batteries, and has a remote EPO (REPO) port. For site EPO switches or relays, consult
your HP site preparation specialist or electrical engineer regarding requirements.
If an EPO switch or relay connector is required for your site, contact your HP representative or
refer to the HP 3 Phase UPS User Guide for connector and wiring for the 12kVA model. This guide
is available at:
http://bizsupport.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01079392/c01079392.pdf
Electrical Power and Grounding Quality
Proper design and installation of a power distribution system for a NonStop BladeSystem requires
specialized skills, knowledge, and understanding of appropriate electrical codes and the limitations
of the power systems for computer and data processing equipment. For power and grounding

exceeded. Severe electrical disturbances can exceed the design specifications of the equipment.
Common sources of such disturbances are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Fluctuations occurring within the facility’s distribution system
Utility service low-voltage conditions (such as sags or brownouts)
Wide and rapid variations in input voltage levels
Wide and rapid variations in input power frequency
Electrical storms
Large inductive sources (such as motors and welders)
Faults in the distribution system wiring (such as loose connections)
Computer systems can be protected from the sources of many of these electrical disturbances by
using:
•
•
•
A dedicated power distribution system
Power conditioning equipment
Lightning arresters on power cables to protect equipment against electrical storms
For steps to take to ensure proper power for the servers, consult with your HP site preparation
specialist or power engineer.
Grounding Systems
The site building must provide a power distribution safety ground/protective earth for each AC
service entrance to all NonStop BladeSystem equipment. This safety grounding system must
comply with local codes and any other applicable regulations for the installation locale.
For proper grounding/protective earth connection, consult with your HP site preparation specialist
or power engineer.
Power Consumption
In a NonStop BladeSystem, the power consumption and inrush currents per connection can vary
because of the unique combination of enclosures housed in the modular cabinet. Thus, the total
power consumption for the hardware installed in the cabinet should be calculated as described
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Modular cabinets do not have built-in batteries to provide power during power failures. To
support system operation and ride-through support during a power failure, NonStop
BladeSystems require either an optional UPS (HP supports the HP model R12000/3 UPS) installed
in each modular cabinet or a site UPS to support system operation through a power failure. This
system operation support can include a planned orderly shutdown at a predetermined time in
the event of an extended power failure. A timely and orderly shutdown prevents an uncontrolled
and asymmetric shutdown of the system resources from depleted UPS batteries.
OSM provides this ride-through support during a power failure. When OSM detects a power
failure, it triggers a ride-through timer. To set this timer, you must configure the ride-through
time in SCF. For this information, refer to the SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem. If
AC power is not restored before the configured ride-through time period ends, OSM initiates
32

NOTE: Retrofitting a system in the field with a UPS and ERMs will likely require moving all
installed enclosures in the rack to provide space for the new hardware. One or more of the
enclosures that formerly resided in the rack might be displaced and therefore have to be installed
in another rack that would also need a UPS and ERMs installed. Additionally, lifting equipment
might be required to lift heavy enclosures to their new location.
the HP 3 Phase UPS User Guide. This guide is available at:
http://bizsupport.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01079392/c01079392.pdf
If you install a UPS other than the HP model R12000/3 UPS in each modular cabinet of a NonStop
BladeSystem, these requirements must be met to insure the system can survive a total AC power
fail:
•
•
The UPS output voltage can support the HP PDU input voltage requirements.
The UPS phase output matches the PDU phase input. For NonStop BladeSystems, 3-phase
output UPSs and 3-phase input HP PDUs are supported. For details, refer to Chapter 3
•
The UPS output can support the targeted system in the event of an AC power failure.
Calculate each cabinet load to insure the UPS can support a proper ride-through time in the
event of a total AC power failure. For more information, refer to “Enclosure Power Loads”
NOTE: A UPS other than the HP model R12000/3 UPS will not be able to utilize the power
fail support of the Configure a Power Source as UPS OSM action.
If your applications require a UPS that supports the entire system or even a UPS or motor
generator for all computer and support equipment in the site, you must plan the site’s electrical
infrastructure accordingly.
Cooling and Humidity Control
Do not rely on an intuitive approach to design cooling or to simply achieve an energy
balance—that is, summing up to the total power dissipation from all the hardware and sizing a
comparable air conditioning capacity. Today’s high-performance NonStop BladeSystems use
semiconductors that integrate multiple functions on a single chip with very high power densities.
These chips, plus high-power-density mass storage and power supplies, are mounted in ultra-thin
system and storage enclosures, and then deployed into computer racks in large numbers. This
higher concentration of devices results in localized heat, which increases the potential for hot
spots that can damage the equipment.
Additionally, variables in the installation site layout can adversely affect air flows and create hot
spots by allowing hot and cool air streams to mix. Studies have shown that above 70°F (20°C),
every increase of 18°F (10°C) reduces long-term electronics reliability by 50%.
Cooling airflow through each enclosure in the NonStop BladeSystem is front-to-back. Because
of high heat densities and hot spots, an accurate assessment of air flow around and through the
system equipment and specialized cooling design is essential for reliable system operation. For
an airflow assessment, consult with your HP cooling consultant or your heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (HVAC) engineer.
Cooling and Humidity Control
33
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
NOTE: Failure of site cooling with the NonStop BladeSystem continuing to run can cause rapid
heat buildup and excessive temperatures within the hardware. Excessive internal temperatures
can result in full or partial system shutdown. Ensure that the site’s cooling system remains fully
operational when the NonStop BladeSystem is running.
Because each modular cabinet houses a unique combination of enclosures, use the “Heat
Dissipation Specifications and Worksheet” (page 50) to calculate the total heat dissipation for
the hardware installed in each cabinet. For air temperature levels at the site, refer to “Operating
Weight
Because modular cabinets for NonStop BladeSystems house a unique combination of enclosures,
total weight must be calculated based on what is in the specific cabinet, as described in “Modular
Flooring
NonStop BladeSystems can be installed either on the site’s floor with the cables entering from
above the equipment or on raised flooring with power and I/O cables entering from underneath.
Because cooling airflow through each enclosure in the modular cabinets is front-to-back, raised
flooring is not required for system cooling.
The site floor structure and any raised flooring (if used) must be able to support the total weight
of the installed computer system as well as the weight of the individual modular cabinets and
their enclosures as they are moved into position. To determine the total weight of each modular
cabinet with its installed enclosures, refer to “Modular Cabinet and Enclosure Weights With
For your site’s floor system, consult with your HP site preparation specialist or an appropriate
floor system engineer. If raised flooring is to be used, the design of the NonStop BladeSystem
modular cabinet is optimized for placement on 24-inch floor panels.
Dust and Pollution Control
NonStop BladeSystems do not have air filters. Any computer equipment can be adversely affected
by dust and microscopic particles in the site environment. Airborne dust can blanket electronic
components on printed circuit boards, inhibiting cooling airflow and causing premature failure
from excess heat, humidity, or both. Metallically conductive particles can short circuit electronic
components. Tape drives and some other mechanical devices can experience failures resulting
from airborne abrasive particles.
For recommendations to keep the site as free of dust and pollution as possible, consult with your
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineer or your HP site preparation specialist.
Zinc Particulates
Over time, fine whiskers of pure metal can form on electroplated zinc, cadmium, or tin surfaces
such as aged raised flooring panels and supports. If these whiskers are disturbed, they can break
off and become airborne, possibly causing computer failures or operational interruptions. This
metallic particulate contamination is a relatively rare but possible threat. Kits are available to
test for metallic particulate contamination, or you can request that your site preparation specialist
or HVAC engineer test the site for contamination before installing any electronic equipment.
Space for Receiving and Unpacking the System
Identify areas that are large enough to receive and to unpack the system from its shipping cartons
and pallets. Be sure to allow adequate space to remove the system equipment from the shipping
34
Site Preparation Guidelines

pallets using supplied ramps. Also be sure adequate personnel are present to remove each cabinet
from its shipping pallet and to safely move it to the installation site.
WARNING! A fully populated cabinet is unstable when moving down the unloading ramp
from its shipping pallet. Arrange for enough personnel to stabilize each cabinet during removal
from the pallet and to prevent the cabinet from falling. A falling cabinet can cause serious or
fatal personal injury.
Ensure sufficient pathways and clearances for moving the NonStop BladeSystem equipment
safely from the receiving and unpacking areas to the installation site. Verify that door and hallway
width and height as well as floor and elevator loading will accommodate not only the system
equipment but also all required personnel and lifting or moving devices. If necessary, enlarge
or remove any obstructing doorway or wall.
All modular cabinets have small casters to facilitate moving them on hard flooring from the
unpacking area to the site. Because of these small casters, rolling modular cabinets along carpeted
or tiled pathways might be difficult. If necessary, plan for a temporary hard floor covering in
affected pathways for easier movement of the equipment.
For physical dimensions of the NonStop BladeSystem equipment, refer to “Dimensions and
Operational Space
When planning the layout of the NonStop BladeSystem site, use the equipment dimensions, door
of the lighting fixtures and electrical outlets affects servicing operations, consider an equipment
layout that takes advantage of existing lighting and electrical outlets.
Also consider the location and orientation of current or future air conditioning ducts and airflow
Space planning should also include the possible addition of equipment or other changes in space
requirements. Depending on the current or future equipment installed at your site, layout plans
can also include provisions for:
•
•
•
•
•
Channels or fixtures used for routing data cables and power cables
Access to air conditioning ducts, filters, lighting, and electrical power hardware
Communications cables, patch panels, and switch equipment

3 System Installation Specifications
This section provides specifications necessary for system installation planning.
NOTE: All specifications provided in this section assume that each enclosure in the modular
cabinet is fully populated. The maximum current for each AC service depends on the number
and type of enclosures installed in the modular cabinet. Power, weight, and heat loads are less
when enclosures are not fully populated; for example, a Fibre Channel disk module with fewer
disks.
Modular Cabinets
The modular cabinet is a EIA standard 19-inch, 42U rack for mounting modular components.
The modular cabinet comes equipped with front and rear doors and includes a rear extension
that makes it deeper than some industry-standard racks. The “Power Distribution Units (PDUs)”
(page 42) are mounted along the rear extension without occupying any U-space in the cabinet
and are oriented inward, facing the components within the rack.
NonStop BladeSystem Power Distribution
There are two power configurations for NonStop BladeSystems:
•
North America/Japan (NA/JPN): requires 208V three phase (120V phase to neutral) and
loads wired phase-to-phase
•
International (INTL): requires 400V three phase with loads wired phase to neutral (230V)
Both power configurations require 200V to 240V distribution and careful attention to phase load
The NonStop BladeSystem's three-phase, c7000 enclosure contains an AC Input Module that
provides 2N redundant power distribution for the power configurations. This power module
comes with a pair of power cords that provide direct AC power feeds to the c7000 enclosure:
Modular Cabinets
37
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
One c7000 power feed is from the main power source and the other is from a backup UPS grid.
For the R12000/3 UPS installed in a rack, the backup power source for the c7000 is one of the
dedicated three phase outputs. There is no power sharing between the c7000 and the rack PDU
feed. Two three-phase rack PDUs power all the other components except the c7000 in the NonStop
BladeSystem. One PDU is connected to the main power input grid: the other to the backup grid.
For racks with integral UPS, this is one of the dedicated three phase outputs of the UPS. For
c7000 power setup details, see “Power Feed Setup for the NonStop BladeSystem” (page 38)
There are two different versions of the rack level PDU. For more details, see “Power Distribution

Phase Load Balancing
Each PDU is wired such that there are three load segments with groups of outlets alternating
between load segments, going up and down the PDU. Refer to “Power Distribution Units (PDUs)”
(page 42). Factory-installed enclosures, other than the c7000, are connected to the PDUs on
alternating load segments to facilitate phase load balancing. The c7000 has its own three-phase

input, with each phase (International) or pairs of phases (North America/Japan) associated with
one of the c7000 power supplies. When the c7000 is operating in Dynamic Power Saving Mode,
the minimum number of power supplies are enabled to redundantly power the enclosure. This
mode increases power supply efficiency, but leaves the phases or phase pairs associated with
the disabled power supplies unloaded. For multiple-cabinet installations, in order to balance
phase loads when Dynamic Power Saving Mode is enabled, HP recommends rotating the phases
from one cabinet to the next. For example, if the first cabinet is wired A-B-C, the next cabinet
should be wired B-C-A, and the next C-A-B, and so on.
Enclosure Power Loads
The total power and current load for a modular cabinet depends on the number and type of
enclosures installed in it. Therefore, the total load is the sum of the loads for all enclosures
installed. For examples of calculating the power and current load for various enclosure
In normal operation, the AC power is split equally between the two PDUs in the modular cabinet.
However, if one of the two AC power feeds fails, the remaining AC power feed and PDU must
carry the power for all enclosures in that cabinet.

Modular Cabinet Stability
Cabinet stabilizers are required when you have less than four cabinets bayed together.
NOTE: Cabinet stability is of special concern when equipment is routinely installed, removed,
or accessed within the cabinet. Stability is addressed through the use of leveling feet, baying kits,
fixed stabilizers, and/or ballast.

Cooling Airflow Direction
NOTE:
Because the front door of the enclosure must be adequately ventilated to allow air to
enter the enclosure and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow air to escape, do
not block the ventilation apertures of a NonStop BladeSystem.
Each NonStop BladeSystem includes 10 Active Cool fans that provide high-volume, high pressure
airflow at even the slowest fan speeds. Air flow for each NonStop BladeSystem enters through
a slot in the front of the c7000 enclosure and is pulled into the interconnect bays. Ducts allow the
air to move from the front to the rear of the enclosure where it is pulled into the interconnects
and the center plenum. The air is then exhausted out the rear of the enclosure.
Blanking Panels
If the NonStop BladeSystem is not completely filled with components, the gaps between these
components can cause adverse changes in the airflow, negatively impacting cooling within the
rack. You must cover any gaps with blanking panels. In high density environments, air gaps in
the enclosure and between adjacent enclosures should be sealed to prevent recirculation of hot-air
from the rear of the enclosure to the front.

Calculating Specifications for Enclosure Combinations
Power and thermal calculations assume that each enclosure in the cabinet is fully populated.
The power and heat load is less when enclosures are not fully populated, such as a Fibre Channel
disk module with fewer disk drives.
AC current calculations assume that one PDU delivers all power. In normal operation, the power
is split equally between the two PDUs in the cabinet. However, calculate the power load to
assume delivery from only one PDU to allow the system to continue to operate if one of the two
AC power sources or PDUs fails.
“Example of Cabinet Load Calculations” (page 52) lists the weight, power, and thermal
calculations for a system with:

4 System Configuration Guidelines
This chapter provides configuration guidelines for a NonStop BladeSystem and includes these
main topics:
•
•
•
NonStop BladeSystems use a flexible modular architecture. Therefore, various configurations of
the system’s modular components are possible within configuration restrictions stated in this
Internal ServerNet Interconnect Cabling
This subsection includes:
•
•
•
Dedicated Service LAN Cables
The NonStop BladeSystem uses Category 5, unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cables for the
internal dedicated service LAN and for connections between the application LAN equipment
and IP CLIM or IOAM enclosure.

ServerNet Fabric and Supported Connections
This subsection includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The Servernet X and Y fabrics for the NonStop BladeSystem are provided by the double-wide
ServerNet switch in the c7000 enclosure. Each c7000 enclosure requires two ServerNet switches
for fault tolerance and each switch has four ServerNet connection groups:
•
•
•
•
ServerNet Cluster Connections
ServerNet Fabric Cross-Link Connections
Interconnections between c7000 enclosures
I/O Connections (Standard I/O and High I/O options)
The I/O connectivity to each of these groups is provided by one of two ServerNet switch options:
either Standard I/O or High I/O.
ServerNet Cluster Connections
At J06.03, only standard ServerNet cluster connections via cluster switches using connections to
both types of ServerNet-based cluster switches (6770 and 6780) is supported. There are two small
form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports on each c7000 enclosure ServerNet switch: a single mode fiber
(SMF) port (port 12) and a multi mode fiber (MMF) port (port 11) for the two ServerNet style
connections. Only one of these ports can be used at a time and only one connection per fabric
(from the appropriate ServerNet switch for that fabric in group 100) to the system's cluster fabric
is supported.
ServerNet cluster connections on NonStop BladeSystems follow the ServerNet cluster and cable
length rules and restrictions. For more information, see these manuals:

ServerNet Fabric Cross-Link Connections
A pair of small form-factor pluggable (SFPs) with standard LC-Duplex connectors are provided
to allow for the ServerNet fabric cross-link connection. Connections are made to ports 9 and 10
(labeled X1 and X2) on the c7000 enclosure ServerNet switch.
Interconnections Between c7000 Enclosures
A single c7000 enclosure can contain eight NonStop Server Blades. Two c7000 enclosures are
interconnected to create a 16 processor system. These interconnections are provided by two quad
optic ports — ports 1 and 2 (labeled GA and GB) located on the c7000 enclosure ServerNet
switches in the 5 and 7 interconnect bays. The GA port on the first c7000 enclosure is connected
to the GA port on the second c7000 enclosure (same fabric) and then likewise the GB port to the
GB port. These connections provide eight Servernet cross-links between the two sets of eight
NonStop processors and the ServerNet routers on the c7000 enclosure ServerNet switch.
I/O Connections (Standard and High I/O ServerNet Switch Configurations)
There are two types of c7000 enclosure ServerNet switches: Standard I/O and High I/O. Each
pair of ServerNet switches in a c7000 enclosure must be identical, either Standard I/O or High
I/O. However, you can mix ServerNet switches between enclosures.
The main difference between the Standard I/O or High I/O switches is the number and type of
quad optics modules that are installed for I/O connectivity.
The Standard I/O ServerNet switch has three quad optic modules: ports 3, 4, and 8 (labeled GC,
EA, and EE) for a total of 12 Servernet links as shown following:
Figure 4-1 ServerNet Switch Standard I/O Supported Connections
The High I/O ServerNet switch has six quad optic modules — ports 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (labelled
GC, EA, EB, EC, and ED) for a total of 24 Servernet links as shown following. If both c7000
enclosures in a 16 processor system contain High I/O ServerNet switches, there are a total of 48
ServerNet connections for I/O.

Figure 4-2 ServerNet Switch High I/O Supported Connections
Connections to IOAM Enclosures
The NonStop BladeSystem supports connections to an IOAM Enclosure. The IOAM Enclosure
requires 4-way Servernet links. If you want 4 IOAMs in the first enclosure, only the ServerNet
High I/O Switch provides these number of connections, which are available on quad optic ports
The NonStop BladeSystem supports a maximum of six IOAMs in a NonStop BladeSystem system
with 16 processors. For a 16 processor system, the connection points are asymmetrical between
the ServerNet Switches. Only ports EA and EC support connections to an IOAM enclosures on
the second ServerNet switch. For the Standard I/O ServerNet switch, only one IOAM module
can be attached per c7000 enclosure. Additionally, if a Standard I/O ServerNet switch is used for
the first c7000 enclosure for one IOAM enclosure, then the second c7000 enclosure only supports
one more IOAM enclosure regardless of the type of ServerNet switch (Standard I/O or High I/O).
Connections to CLIMs
The NonStop BladeSystem supports a maximum of 24 CLIM modules per system. A CLIM uses
either one or two ServerNet connections to a fabric. The Storage CLIM typically uses two
connections per fabric to achieve high disk performance. The IP CLIM typically uses one
connection per ServerNet fabric. For I/O connections, a breakout cable is used on the back panel
of the c7000 enclosure ServerNet switch to convert to standard LC-Duplex style connections.
NonStop BladeSystem Port Connections
This subsection includes:
•
•
•
•
Fibre Channel Ports to Fibre Channel Disk Modules
Fibre Channel disk modules (FCDMs) can only be connected to the FCSA in an IOAM enclosure.
FCDMs are directly connected to the Fibre Channel ports on an IOAM enclosure with this
exception:
Up to four FCDMs (or up to four daisy-chained configurations with each daisy-chain configuration
containing 4 FCDMs) can be connected to the FCSA ports on an IOAM enclosure in a NonStop
Blades System.

CLIM or an FCSA in an IOAM enclosure. With a Fibre Channel tape drive connected to the
system, you can use the BACKUP and RESTORE utilities to save data to and restore data from
tape.
SAS Ports to SAS Disk Enclosures
SAS disk enclosures can be connected directly to the two HBA SAS ports on a Storage CLIM
with this exception:
Daisy-chain configurations are not supported.
SAS Ports to SAS Tape Devices
SAS tape devices have one SAS port that can be directly connected to the HBA SAS port on a
Storage CLIM. Each SAS tape enclosure supports two tape drives. With a SAS tape drive connected
to the system, you can use the BACKUP and RESTORE utilities to save data to and restore data
from tape.

The rack-mounted Fibre Channel disk module (FCDM) can only be used with NonStop
BladeSystems that have IOAM enclosures. An FCDM and its disk drives are controlled through
the Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter (FCSA). For more information on the FCSA, see the
Fibre-Channel ServerNet Adapter Installation and Support Guide. For more information on the Fibre

FCSA location and cable connections vary according to the various controller and Fibre Channel
disk module combinations.
Configurations for Fibre Channel Devices
Storage subsystems in NonStop S-series systems used a fixed hardware layout. Each enclosure
can have up to four controllers for storage devices and up to 16 internal disk drives. The controllers
and disk drives always have a fixed logical location with standardized location IDs of
group-module-slot. Only the group number changes as determined by the enclosure position in
the ServerNet topology.
However, the NonStop BladeSystems have no fixed boundaries for the Fibre Channel hardware
layout. Up to 60 FCSA (or 120 ServerNet addressable controllers) and 240 Fibre Channel disk
enclosures, with identification depending on the ServerNet connection of the IOAM and slot
housing in the FCSAs.
Configuration Restrictions for Fibre Channel Devices
These configuration restrictions apply and are invoked by Subsystem Control Facility (SCF):
•
Primary and mirror disk drives cannot connect to the same Fibre Channel loop. Loss of the
Fibre Channel loop makes both the primary volume and the mirrored volume inaccessible.
This configuration inhibits fault tolerance.
Disk drives in different Fibre Channel disk modules on a daisy chain connect to the same
Fibre Channel loop.
•
•
The primary path and backup Fibre Channel communication links to a disk drive should
not connect to FCSAs in the same module of an IOAM enclosure. In a fully populated system,
loss of one FCSA can make up to 56 disk drives inaccessible on a single Fibre Channel
communications path. This configuration is allowed, but only if you override an SCF warning
message.
The mirror path and mirror backup Fibre Channel communication links to a disk drive
should not connect to FCSAs in the same module of an IOAM enclosure. In a fully populated
system, loss of one FCSA can make up to 56 disk drives inaccessible on a single Fibre Channel
communications path. This configuration is allowed, but only if you override an SCF warning
message.
Recommendations for Fibre Channel Device Configuration
These recommendations apply to FCSA and Fibre Channel disk module configurations:
•
•
•
Primary Fibre Channel disk module connects to the FCSA F-SAC 1.
Mirror Fibre Channel disk module connects to the FCSA F-SAC 2.
FC-AL port A1 is the incoming port from an FCSA or from another Fibre Channel disk
module.
•
•
FC-AL port A2 is the outbound port to another Fibre Channel disk module.
FC-AL port B2 is the incoming port from an FCSA or from a Fibre Channel disk module.
62
System Configuration Guidelines
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
•
•
FC-AL port B1 is the outbound port to another Fibre Channel disk module
In a daisy-chain configuration, the ID expander harness determines the enclosure number.
Enclosure 1 is always at the bottom of the chain.
•
•
•
FCSAs can be installed in slots 1 through 5 in an IOAM.
G4SAs can be installed in slots 1 through 5 in an IOAM.
In systems with two or more cabinets, primary and mirror Fibre Channel disk modules
reside in separate cabinets to prevent application or system outage if a power outage affects
one cabinet.
•
With primary and mirror Fibre Channel disk modules in the same cabinet, the primary Fibre
Channel disk module resides in a lower U than the mirror Fibre Channel disk module.
•
•
Fibre Channel disk drives are configured with dual paths.
Where possible, FCSAs and Fibre Channel disk modules are configured with four FCSAs
and four Fibre Channel disk modules for maximum fault tolerance. If FCSAs are not in
groups of four, the remaining FCSAs and Fibre Channel disk modules can be configured in
other fault-tolerant configurations such as with two FCSAs and two Fibre Channel disk
modules or four FCSAs and three Fibre Channel disk modules.
•
•
In systems with one IOAM enclosure:
—
With two FCSAs and two Fibre Channel disk modules, the primary FCSA resides in
module 2 of the IOAM enclosure, and the backup FCSA resides in module 3. (See the
—
With four FCSAs and four Fibre Channel disk modules, FCSA 1 and FCSA 2 reside in
module 2 of the IOAM enclosure, and FCSA 3 and FCSA 4 reside in module 3. (See the
In systems with two or more IOAM enclosures
—
With two FCSAs and two Fibre Channel disk modules, the primary FCSA resides in
IOAM enclosure 1, and the backup FCSA resides in IOAM enclosure 2. (See the example
—
With four FCSAs and four Fibre Channel disk modules, FCSA 1 and FCSA 2 reside in
IOAM enclosure 1, and FCSA 3 and FCSA 4 reside in IOAM enclosure 2. (See the example
•
•
•
•
•
Daisy-chain configurations follow the same configuration restrictions and rules that apply
Fibre Channel disk modules containing mirrored volumes must be installed in separate
daisy chains.
Daisy-chained configurations require that all Fibre Channel disk modules reside in the same
cabinet and be physically grouped together.
Daisy-chain configurations require an ID expander harness with terminators for proper
Fibre Channel disk module and disk drive identification.
After you connect all Fibre Channel disk modules in configurations of four FCSAs and four
Fibre Channel disk modules, yet three Fibre Channel disk modules remain not connected,
connect them to the four FCSAs. (See the example configuration in “Four FCSAs, Three

NOTE: Although it is not a requirement for fault tolerance to house the primary and mirror
disk drives in separate FCDMs. the example configurations show FCDMs housing only primary
or mirror drives, mainly for simplicity in keeping track of the physical locations of the drives.

Ethernet to Networks
Depending on your configuration, the Ethernet ports in an IP CLIM or a G4SA installed in an
IOAM enclosure provide Gigabit connectivity between NonStop BladeSystems and Ethernet
LANs. The Ethernet port is an end node on the ServerNet and uses either fiber-optic or copper
cable for connectivity to user application LANs, as well as for the dedicated service LAN.
For information on the Ethernet ports on a G4SA installed in an IOAM enclosure, see the Gigabit
Ethernet 4-Port Adapter (G4SA) Installation and Support Guide.
The IP CLIM has two types of Ethernet configurations: IP CLIM A and IP CLIM B.

Integrity NonStop NS-series systems.
With a few exceptions, default naming conventions are not necessary for the modular resources
that make up a NonStop BladeSystem. In most cases, users can name their resources at will and
use the appropriate management applications and tools to find the location of the resource.
However, default naming conventions for certain resources simplify creation of the initial
configuration files and automatic generation of the names of the modular resources.

Possible Values of Disk and Tape LUNs
The possible values of disk and tape LUN numbers depend on the type of the resource.
•
For a SAS disk, the LUN number is calculated as base LUN + offset.
base LUN is the base LUN number for the SAS enclosure. Its value can be 100, 200, 300,
400, 500, 600, 700, 800, or 900, and should be numbered sequentially for each of the SAS
enclosures attached to the same CLIM.
offset is the bay (slot) number of the disk in the SAS enclosure.
•
For an ESS disk, the LUN number is calculated as base LUN + offset.
base LUN is the base LUN number for the ESS port. Its value can be 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500,
3000, 3500, 4000, or 4500, and should be numbered sequentially for each of the ESS ports
attached to the same CLIM.
offset is the LUN number of the ESS LUN.
•
•
For a physical Fibre Channel tape, the value of LUN number can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9,
and should be numbered sequentially for each of the physical tapes attached to the same
CLIM.
For a VTS tape, the LUN number is calculated as base LUN + offset.
base LUN is the base LUN number for the VTS port. Its value can be 5000, 5010, 5020, 5030,
5040, 5050, 5060, 5070, 5080, or 5090, and should be numbered sequentially for each of the
VTS ports attached to the same CLIM.
offset is the LUN number of the VTS LUN.

5 Hardware Configuration in Modular Cabinets
This chapter shows locations of hardware components within the 42U modular cabinet for a
NonStop BladeSystem. A number of physical configurations are possible because of the flexibility
inherent to the NonStop Multicore Architecture and ServerNet network.
NOTE: Hardware configuration drawings in this chapter represent the physical arrangement
of the modular enclosures but do not show PDUs. For information about PDUs, see “Power

6 Maintenance and Support Connectivity
Local monitoring and maintenance of the NonStop BladeSystem occurs over the dedicated service
LAN. The dedicated service LAN provides connectivity between the system console and the
maintenance infrastructure in the system hardware. Remote support is provided by OSM, which
runs on the system console and communicates over the HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition
infrastructure or an alternative remote access solution.
Only components specified by HP can be connected to the dedicated LAN. No other access to
the LAN is permitted.
The dedicated service LAN uses a ProCurve 2524 Ethernet switch for connectivity between the
c7000 enclosure, CLIMs, IOAM enclosures, and the system console.
The HP ISEE call-out and call-in access is provided by the hpVPN Cisco 831 router, which connects
to the customer internet access. Alternatively, call-out and call-in access is provided by a modem.
NOTE: Your account representative must place a separate order of the ISEE VPN router with
the assistance of the ISEE team.
An important part of the system maintenance architecture, the system console is a personal
computer (PC) purchased from HP to run maintenance and diagnostic software for NonStop
BladeSystems. Through the system console, you can:
•
Monitor system health and perform maintenance operations using the HP NonStop Open
System Management (OSM) interface
•
•
View manuals and service procedures
Run HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL) sessions using terminal-emulation
software
•
•
Install and manage system software using the Distributed Systems Management/Software
Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM)
Make remote requests to and receive responses from a system using remote operation
software
Dedicated Service LAN
A NonStop BladeSystem requires a dedicated LAN for system maintenance through OSM. Only
components specified by HP can be connected to a dedicated LAN. No other access to the LAN
is permitted.

SWAN Concentrator Restrictions
•
Isolate any ServerNet wide area networks (SWANs) on the system. The system must be
equipped with at least two LANs: one LAN for SWAN concentrators and one for the
dedicated service LAN.
•
•
Most SWAN concentrators are configured redundantly using two or more subnets. Those
subnets also must be isolated from the dedicated service LAN.
Do not connect SWANs on a subnet containing a DHCP.
Dedicated Service LAN Links Using G4SAs
You can implement system-up service LAN connectivity using G4SAs or IP CLIMs. The values
in this table show the identification for G4SAs in slot 5 of both modules of an IOAM enclosure
and connected to the maintenance switch:

NOTE: For a fault-tolerant dedicated service LAN, two G4SAs are required, with each G4SA
connected to a separate maintenance switch. These G4SA can reside in modules 2 and 3 of the
same IOAM enclosure or in module 2 of one IOAM enclosure and module 3 of a second IOAM
enclosure. When the G4SA provides connection to the dedicated service LAN, use the slower
10/100 Mbps PIF A rather than one of the high-speed 1000 Mbps Ethernet ports of PIF C or D.
Dedicated Service LAN Links Using IP CLIMs
You can implement up-system service LAN connectivity using IP CLIMs, if the system has at
least two IP CLIMs. The values in this table show the identification for the CLIMs in a NonStop
BladeSystem and connected to the maintenance switch. In this table, a CLIM named C1002581

NOTE: For a fault-tolerant dedicated service LAN, two IP CLIMs are required, with each IP
CLIM connected to a separate maintenance switch.
Initial Configuration for a Dedicated Service LAN
New systems are shipped with an initial set of IP addresses configured. For a listing of these
Factory-default IP addresses for the G4SAs are in the LAN Configuration and Management Manual.
IP addresses for SWAN concentrators are in the WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management
Manual.
HP recommends that you change these preconfigured IP addresses to addresses appropriate for
your LAN environment. You must change the preconfigured IP addresses on:
•
A backup system console if you want to connect it to a dedicated service LAN that already
includes a primary system console or other system console
•
Any system console if you want to connect it to a dedicated service LAN that already includes
a primary system console
Keep track of all the IP addresses in your system so that no IP address is assigned twice.
System Consoles
New system consoles are preconfigured with the required HP and third-party software. When
upgrading to the latest RVU, you can install software upgrades from the HP NonStop System
Console Installer DVD image.
Some system console hardware, including the PC system unit, monitor, and keyboard, can be
mounted in the cabinet. Other PCs are installed outside the cabinet and require separate provisions
or furniture to hold the PC hardware.

System consoles communicate with NonStop BladeSystems over a dedicated service local area
network (LAN) or a secure operations LAN. A dedicated service LAN is required for use of OSM
Low-Level Link and Notification Director functionality, which includes configuring primary
and backup dial-out points (referred to as the primary and backup system consoles, respectively).
HP recommends that you also configure the backup dedicated service LAN with a backup system
console.
System Console Configurations
Several system console configurations are possible:
•
•
•
•
•
One System Console Managing One System (Setup Configuration)
The one system console on the LAN must be configured as the primary system console. This
configuration can be called the setup configuration and is used during initial setup and installation
of the system console and the server.
The setup configuration is an example of a secure, stand-alone network as shown in Figure 6-1
(page 82). A LAN cable connects the primary system console to the maintenance switch, and
additional LAN cables connect the switches and Ethernet ports. The maintenance switch or an
optional second maintenance switch allows you to later add a backup system console and
additional system consoles.
NOTE: Because the system console and maintenance switch are single points of failure that
could disrupt access to OSM, this configuration is not recommended for operations that require
high availability or fault tolerance.
When you use this configuration, you do not need to change the preconfigured IP addresses.
Primary and Backup System Consoles Managing One System
This configuration is recommended. It is similar to the setup configuration, but for fault-tolerant
redundancy, it includes a second maintenance switch, backup system console, and second modem
(if a modem-based remote solution is used). The maintenance switches provide a dedicated LAN
without modems.
NOTE: A subnet is a network division within the TCP/IP model. Within a given network, each
subnet is treated as a separate network. Outside that network, the subnets appear as part of a
single network. The terms subnet and subnetwork are used interchangeably.
If a remote maintenance LAN connection is required, use the second network interface card
(NIC) in the NonStop system console to connect to the operations LAN, and access the other
devices in the maintenance LAN using Remote Desktop via the console.
Because this configuration uses only one subnet, you must:
•
Enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in switches or routers that are part of the operations
LAN.

Maintenance and Support Connectivity

NOTE: Do not perform the next two bulleted items if your backup system console is shipped
with a new NonStop BladeSystem. In this case, HP has already configured these items for
you.
•
•
Change the preconfigured DHCP configuration of the backup system console before you
add it to the LAN.
Change the preconfigured IP address of the backup system console before you add it to the
LAN.
CAUTION: Networks with more than one path between any two systems can cause loops
that result in message duplication and broadcast storms that can bring down the network.
If a second connection is used, refer to the documentation for the ProCurve 2524 maintenance
switch and enable STP in the maintenance switches. STP ensures only one active path at any
given moment between two systems on the network. In networks with two or more physical
paths between two systems, STP ensures only one active path between them and blocks all
other redundant paths.
Multiple System Consoles Managing One System
Two maintenance switches provide fault tolerance and extra ports for adding system consoles.
You must change the preconfigured IP addresses of the second and subsequent system consoles
before you can add them to the LAN. Only two system consoles should run the DHCP, DNS,
BOOTP, FTP, and TFTP servers. These services should not be running on other consoles in the
same maintenance LAN.
Managing Multiple Systems Using One or Two System Consoles
If you want to manage more than one system from a console (or from a fault-tolerant pair of
consoles), you can daisy chain the maintenance switches together. This configuration requires
an IP address scheme to support it. Contact your HP service provider to design this configuration.
Cascading Ethernet Switch or Hub Configuration
Additional Ethernet switches or hubs can be connected (cascaded) to the maintenance switches
already installed. Primary and backup system consoles and the server must be on the same
subnet.
You must change the preconfigured IP addresses of the second and subsequent system consoles
before you can add them to the LAN.

B Operations and Management Using OSM Applications
OSM client-based components are installed on new system console shipments and also delivered
by an OSM installer on the HP NonStop System Console (NSC) Installer DVD image. The NSC
DVD image also delivers all other client software required for managing and servicing NonStop
servers. For installation instructions, see the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
OSM server-based components are incorporated in a single OSM server-based SPR, T0682 (OSM
Service Connection Suite), that is installed on NonStop BladeSystems running the HP NonStop
operating system.
For information on how to install, configure and start OSM server-based processes and
components, see the OSM Migration and Configuration Guide. The OSM components are:

System-Down OSM Low-Level Link
In NonStop BladeSystems, the maintenance entity (ME) in the c7000 ServerNet switch or IOAM
enclosures provides dedicated service LAN services via the OSM Low-Level Link for both OS
coldload, system management, and hardware configuration when hardware is powered up but
the OS is not running.
AC Power Monitoring
NonStop BladeSystems require one of the following to support system operation through power
transients or an orderly shutdown of I/O operations and processors during a power failure:
•
The optional, HP-supported model R12000/3 UPS (with one to four ERMs for additional
battery power)
•
•
A user-supplied UPS installed in each modular cabinet
A user-supplied site UPS
System-Down OSM Low-Level Link
95
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If the HP R12000/3 UPS is installed, it is connected to the system’s dedicated service LAN via
the maintenance switch where OSM monitors the power state of either AC onor AC off.
For OSM to provide AC power fail support, an HP R12000/3 UPS must be installed, connected
to the system's dedicated service LAN via the maintenance switch and configured as described
in the NonStop BladeSystems Hardware Installation Manual.
Then, you must perform these actions in the OSM Service Connection:
•
Configure a Power Source as AC, located under Enclosure 100, to configure the power rail
(either A or B) connected to AC power.
•
Configure a Power Source as UPS, located under Enclosure 100, to configure the power
rail (either A or B) connected to the UPS. While performing this action, you must enter the
IP address of the UPS.
•
(Optional/recommended) Verify Power Fail Configuration, located under the system object,
to verify that power fail support has been properly configured and is in place for the NonStop
BladeSystem.
If a power outage occurs, OSM starts a ride-through timer and outputs an EMS notification that
the system is running on the UPS batteries. The ride-through timer can be used to let the system
continue operation for a short period in case the power outage was only a momentary transient.
The ERMs installed in each cabinet can extend the battery-supported system runtime.
The system user must use SCF to configure the system ride-through time to execute an orderly
shutdown before the UPS batteries are depleted. The time available for battery support depends
on the charge in the batteries and the power that the system draws.
Additionally, if the site’s air conditioning shuts down in a power failure, the system should be
shut down before its internal air temperatures can rise to the point that initiates a thermal
shutdown. A timely and orderly shutdown prevents an uncontrolled and asymmetric shutdown
of the system resources from depleted UPS batteries or thermal shutdown.
If a user-supplied rack-mounted UPS or a site UPS is used rather than the HP-supported model
R12000/3 UPS, the system is not notified of the power outage. The user is responsible for detecting
power transients and outages and developing the appropriate actions, which might include a
ride-through time based on the capacity of the site UPS and the power demands made on that
UPS.
The R12000/3 UPS and ERM installed in modular cabinets do not support any devices that are
external to the cabinets. External devices can include tape drives, external disk drives, LAN
routers, and SWAN concentrators. Any external peripheral devices that do not have UPS support
will fail immediately at the onset of a power failure. Plan for UPS support of any external
peripheral devices that must remain operational as system resources. This support can come
from a site UPS or individual units as necessary.
This information relates to handling power failures:
•
•
•
For ride-through time, see the SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem.
For the TACL SETTIME command, see the TACL Reference Manual.
To set system time programmatically, see the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual.

AC Power-Fail States
These states occur when a power failure occurs and an optional HP model R12000/3 UPS is
installed in each cabinet within the system:
System State
Description
NSK_RUNNING
RIDE_THRU
NonStop operating system is running normally.
OSM has detected a power failure and begins timing the
outage. AC power returning terminates RIDE_THRU and
puts the operating system back into an NSK_RUNNING
state. At the end of the predetermined RIDE_THRU time,
if AC has not returned, OSM executes a PFAIL_SHOUT
and initiates an orderly shutdown of I/O operations and
resources.
HALTED
Normal halt condition. Halted processors do not
participate in power-fail handling. A normal power-on
also puts the processors into the HALTED state.
POWER_OFF
Loss of optic power from the NonStop Server Blade
occurs, or the UPS batteries suppling the server blade are
completely depleted. When power returns, the system is
essentially in a cold-boot condition.
