  • Page 54: Planning And Cabling The Interconnect Network

    Planning and cabling the interconnect network To support the most recent ASM features, a Remote Supervisor Adapter must be the main gateway interconnect to the ASM interconnect bus if the bus also includes servers with ASM PCI adapters or ASM processors. The Remote Supervisor Adapter forwards the ASM information generated by the servers attached to the ASM interconnect bus to other servers on the Ethernet network.
  • Page 55 When alerts are generated, they are forwarded to the Remote Supervisor Adapter, ASM processor, or ASM PCI adapter on the ASM interconnect network that has the communication resources to forward the alert. If no system on the ASM interconnect network meets the requirements, the alert is set for transmission if the connection type is configured or becomes available later.
  • Page 56 Cabling for the ASM interconnect network Depending upon the servers you have, you might need additional ASM Interconnect modules or Category 5 or Category 3 Ethernet cables. For the servers that do not need an ASM Interconnect module, a module is still needed to connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter in the gateway server to the integrated ASM processor.
