Using
the
ASM
interconnect
network
This
section
explains
how
to
configure
and
connect
the
server
to
function
within
an
ASM
interconnect
network.
The
ASM
interconnect
network
can
include
as
many
as
12
individual
ASM
connections
in
a
single
bus.
These
connections
can
include
Remote
Supervisor
Adapters,
ASM
processors,
and
ASM
PCI
Adapters.
When
the
clients
and
servers
are
connected,
they
use
the
ASM
interconnect
network
to
share
ASM
resources,
information,
and
alerts
among
multiple
servers,
without
having
to
add
additional
communications
hardware
or
network
interface
adapters.
An
ASM
interconnect
network
provides
two
levels
of
functionality.
First,
the
ASM
interconnect
network
enables
you
to
configure
settings
and
to
control
