Figure 1-3 Clustered Enterprise Server System sample configuration
Figure 1-3 shows a pSeries CES system sample configuration:
The Clustered Enterprise Servers (M/T 7017 and M/T 7026) are housed in
their own frames.
The SP Switch is mounted in the dedicated tall frame 9076-555 Stand-alone
Switch for clustered nodes.
The servers are connected to the SP Switch. The servers are connected to
the SP Ethernet interface and to the RS-232 interface of the CWS.
1.4.1 Processor nodes
The IBM RS/6000 SP system is scalable from 1 to 128 processor nodes, which
can be contained in multiple SP frames. Up to 16 processor nodes (SP nodes)
can be mounted in a tall frame, while a short frame will hold up to eight processor
nodes (SP nodes). SP systems consisting of more than 128 processor nodes are
available (on a special order basis).
