the SMS to share the IP Console Switch with other OS instances.
All SMS software is preloaded in the factory and delivered to the customer as a complete solution.
Current versions of the SMS software have not been qualified for 64 bit Windows.
The Windows PC SMS/Console runs Windows Vista as the default operating system. The PC
SMS/Console will follow the Windows OS roadmap and support later versions of this operating system
as needed. The version of the scan tools used on the sx1000 Superdomes also does not require scan
traffic to be isolated from console traffic.
Console capabilities are integrated with the Windows PC SMS solution. The PC SMS includes the
necessary display, keyboard, and mouse, and only one LAN port on the MP is required to be connected.
The Windows PC SMS can support and connect to either of the MP LAN interfaces (known as the Private
and Customer LAN ports). Both LAN ports on the MP have identical functionality so there is no
preference in using one over the other. Only one IP port on the Superdome MP is required to be
connected to the PC SMS. Since scan and console traffic can co exist on the same network, only one IP
address exists (and is supported) on the PC SMS.
The Integrity Superdome scan tools use TCP/IP, not UDP, for scan diagnostics. Therefore it is not
necessary to isolate scan and console traffic on Integrity Superdomes.
The Ethernet I/O cards from each nPar can optionally be connected to the Ethernet switch in order to
facilitate graphical console functionality (i.e., parmgr). However, security concerns may dictate that a
partition NIC not be connected to the management LAN. Alternatives are to access from a management
station to a partition LAN through a secure router, or to use text mode access to commands via the
console.
Additional Integrity Superdomes can be added to this configuration. Each new Integrity Superdome will
require only one CAT5e LAN cable for connection of the Customer/Private LAN port on the Superdome
MP to the existing switch.
Additional Integrity Superdomes require only a CAT5e LAN cable for connection of the Private/Customer
LAN port to the existing switch. PA-8700 Superdomes can also be added to this configuration, but
require separate scan & console networks. Details on mixed Superdome environments follow later in this
section.
