Configuring Information
Any terminal can be used as a console device.
Third-party console devices require an EIA-232 25-pin DSUB connector.
Requires Tru64 UNIX V5.0A or later and either TruCluster Server license
(QL-6BRAC-AA) or TruCluster Plus Software Package (QP-6R9AC-AA)
Requires OpenVMS V7.1-2 or later and OpenVMS Cluster license
(QL-MUZAC-AA)
Up to two PCI-to-System Area Network adapters (CCMAB-BA) are supported in a single
system.
Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-BA for each node and one
BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable; cable connects directly to CCMAB-BA in each node.
For a two-node cluster that will not need to be rebooted when adding additional
members, order one CCMAB-BA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each
node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster.
For three- or four- node clusters, order one CCMAB-BA adapter and one BN39B-04 or
BN39B-10 cable for each node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster
CCMHB-AA includes four CCMLB-AA line cards and supports up to four nodes;
expansion up to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four CCMLB-AA
line cards.
If two CCMAB-AAs are configured in each system, a second CCMHB-AA is required for
greater than 2 node configurations.
If nodes must be separated by a distance longer than standard copper cables allow the
CCMFB option converts the output of the standard CCMAB controller or CCMLB line card
to single-mode fiber optic cable. The fiber optic connection may be up to 2,000 meters
long between two CCMAB controllers connected in virtual hub mode, or 3,000 meters
between a CCMAB controller and a CCMHB hub. (The connection from the CCMHB hub to
a second system may also be 3,000 meters.) The CCMFB option requires a second PCI
slot in the system from which it draws power only. It is normally connected to the
prerequisite CCMAB controller with the short BN39B-01 cable provided with the CCMFB.
The CCMFB is also used in the CCMHB hub where it occupies a slot normally used by the
CCMLB line card, limiting expansion to four radial fiber optic connections.
CCMHB-BA hub does not contain any line cards and can be used to plug in up to eight
CCMFB fiber optic converters. Two standard length single-mode fiber optic cables are
available (BN34R-10 and BN34R-31); however, users normally provide this fiber optic
connection. Fiber optic connectivity is completely transparent to the systems using it and
has no performance impact.
For integration of MEMORY CHANNEL hubs into cabinet configurations, a rackmount kit
(2T-MAVRK-AA) and power cord (BN35S-02) are required
