Differences Between Integrity NonStop NS-Series
Systems
communications to storage devices and subsystems as well as to LANs. Additional
IOAM enclosures can be added to increase connectivity and storage resources.
Integrity NonStop NS16000 systems connect to NonStop S-series I/O enclosures by
using fiber-optic ServerNet links to connect the p-switches of the Integrity NonStop
system to IOMF2 CRUs in the I/O enclosures.
Integrity NonStop NS14000 Systems
In Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems, there are no p-switches. There are now two
types of NS14000 systems:
•
A NonStop NS14000 system consisting of a single IOAM enclosure, with an I/O
adapter module on each ServerNet fabric — processor connections are made
through ports on 4-Port ServerNet Extenders (4PSEs), located in slot one and
optionally slot 2 of each I/O adapter module, to the processors via the LSUs. The
IOAM enclosure provides ServerNet connectivity for up to 8 ServerNet I/O
adapters on each of the two ServerNet fabrics (FCSAs and G4SAs can be installed
in slots 2 through 5 of the two IOAMs in the IOAM enclosure for communications to
storage devices and subsystems as well as to LANs). Integrity NonStop NS14000
systems do not support connections to additional IOAM enclosures or NonStop
S-series I/O enclosures.
•
A NonStop NS14000 system consisting of two VIO enclosures, one on each
ServerNet fabric — processor connections for processors 0-3 are made through
ports 1-4 of the VIO Logic Board in slot 14 of each VIO enclosure, via the LSUs.
An optional Optical Extender PIC in slot 2 provides for additional processor
connectivity (processors 4-7). VIO enclosures have embedded ports and allow for
optional expansion ports to supply the equivalent functionality provided by FCSAs
and G4SAs in NS14000 systems with IOAMs.
Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems do not support connections to additional IOAM
enclosures or NonStop S-series I/O enclosure
For more information on Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems, see the Versatile I/O
(VIO) Manual, the NonStop NS14000 Planning Guide, or the NonStop NS14000
Hardware Installation Manual.
Integrity NonStop NS1000 Systems
Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems have no processor switches or LSUs. Like Integrity
NonStop NS14000 systems, there are now two types: those consisting of a single
IOAM enclosure (two IOAMs) and those consisting of one VIO enclosure for each
fabric. ServerNet connectivity for each type is accomplished as described for the
Integrity NonStop NS14000 Systems, except for the absence of the LSUs.
Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems do not support connections to NonStop S-series
I/O enclosures. Besides the architectural differences, Integrity NonStop NS1000
systems also utilize different NonStop Blade Elements than Integrity NonStop NS16000
or NS14000 systems. For more information on Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems,
refer to the NonStop NS1000 Planning Guide and the NonStop NS1000 Hardware
Installation Manual.
