V-Class System Components
V-Class System Components
Each V-Class system includes two main components: a V-Class server
and a Service Support Processor (SSP workstation) dedicated to
supporting the server, as shown below in Figure 3.
Figure 3 V-Class Server Components: Cabinet
and Service Support Processor
The V-Class cabinet contains all V-Class server resources, such as
processors, memory, disks, power, and so forth. The Service Support
Processor has software that allows you to monitor the resources in a V-
Class cabinet. The V-Class server and the Service Support Processor run
separate instances of the HP-UX operating system.
Multiple-cabinet servers may contain up to four V2500/V2600 cabinets,
which are booted as a single HP-UX system. Each cabinet has its own
cabinet ID (0, 2, 4, or 6) and contains processors, memory, and I/O
resources that are available to HP-UX and the applications that run on
the server. Cabinets are numbered based on their location in the server.
Cabinet ID 0 is the “monarch” or “root” cabinet, which contains the I/O
device used for booting and volume group 0. The other cabinets (IDs 2, 4,
and 6) are “serf” cabinets, located as shown in Figure 5 on page 5.
