Storage Cluster I/O Module (Clim) - HPE Integrity NonStop NS2100 Planning Manual

These CLIM configurations are supported:
"Storage CLuster I/O Module (CLIM)" (page 17)
"IP CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) (Optional)" (page 19)
"Telco CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) (Optional)" (page 21)
The optional
product is a convenient way to configure Ethernet cables in a NonStop cabinet for IP and Telco
CLIMs.

Storage CLuster I/O Module (CLIM)

The Storage CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) is part of all NS2100 system configurations. For RVU
requirements for DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 Storage CLIMs, see
Storage CLIM is a rack-mounted server that connects to the VIO enclosure and functions as a
ServerNet I/O adapter providing:
ServerNet fabric connections.
A Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface for the storage subsystem via a SAS Host Bus
Adapter (HBA) supporting SAS disk drives, solid state drives, and SAS tape devices.
A Fibre Channel (FC) interface for ESS and FC tape devices via a customer-ordered FC
HBA. A Storage CLIM can have 0, 2, or 4 FC interfaces in an NS2100 system.
Connections to FCDMs are not supported.
DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 CLIMs can coexist in the same NS2100 series system; and you
can have G6 and Gen8 CLIM pairs in the same system only if these criteria are met:
The CLIM pair must be comprised of the same CLIM type (for example, a pair of Gen8
CLIMs). G6 and Gen8 CLIMs cannot coexist within the same CLIM pair.
Coexisting CLIMs in a system must control different SAS disk enclosures.
NOTE: All CLIMs use the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem. For more information about
the CIP subsystem, see the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual.
Two storage CLIM configurations are available:
