NOTE:
Customers ordering an SMS for the first time for a new PA 8700 Superdome should order the rx2600
SMS. The rx2600 SMS can also be used to manage PA8800/PA-8900 and Integrity Superdomes.
Customers using the earlier-released A180 SMS must replace it with the rx2600 if they expect to use it
with new Superdome or Integrity servers. Customers may use an existing rp2470 or A500 SMS to
manage any new PA 8700 Superdome.
One rx2600 SMS can support up to 16 Superdomes using a switch. Please note, however, that certain
datacenters are so large that the networking structure will not permit the sharing of one SMS for the
entire datacenter. The SMS is connected to each PA 8700 Superdome system on a private LAN. It is
beneficial to have the SMS in close physical proximity to the Superdome(s) because the Customer
Engineer (CE) requires SMS access to service the Superdome hardware. The physical connection from
the Superdome is a private Ethernet connection and thus, the absolute maximum distance is determined
by the Ethernet specification.
The UNIX rx2600 SMS bundle is comprised of:
HP rx2600 1.0G 1.5MB processor server Solution
Factory rack kit for rx2600
1GB DDR memory
36GB 15K HotPlug Ultra320 HDD
HP-UX 11iv2 Foundation OE
1 x HP Tape Array 5300 with DVD-ROM and DAT 40
HP ProCurve Switch 2124
CAT 5e Cables
By default, the rx2600 SMS does not come with a display monitor or keyboard unless explicitly ordered
to enable console access (the TFT5600 rackmounted display/mouse/keyboard is the recommended
solution). See the ordering guide for details on the additional components that are required in order to
use the rx2600 SMS as a console.
All SMS software is preloaded in the factory and delivered to the customer as a complete solution. The
rx2600 SMS supports only HP UX 11i at this time. Current versions of the SMS software have not been
qualified for 64 bit Windows. To ensure only optimal diagnostic solutions are used, an integrated
Windows/Linux SMS/Console is not available for PA 8700 Superdomes. All SMS software is preloaded
in the factory and delivered to the customer as a complete solution.
