HP NonStop S-Ser ies Hardware Installation and Fast Pa th Guide

Abstract

This guide is written for anyone qualified to install an HP NonStop™ S-series server. This guide describes how to install and start a NonStop S-series server for the first

time. It includes information about installing server hardware, cabling system enclosures, installing and starting NonStop system consoles, installing external system devices, starting the server, and configuring the server after startup. This guide also provides overview information about the I/O adapter module (IOAM) enclosure. A quick reference to installing and configuring a two-processor or four-processor NonStop S-series server in the Tetra 8 topology is included.

About This Guide

This guide describes how to install and bring up a NonStop S-series server for the first time. It includes information about installing the server hardware, cabling system enclosures, installing and starting system consoles, installing external system devices, and starting the server. This guide is written for anyone who is qualified to install a NonStop S-series server.

This guide assumes that you are using the HP NonStop Open System Management (OSM) or Compaq TSM software to perform the OSM or TSM tasks described in this guide.

Note. Throughout this guide, the term Sxx000 stands for NonStop S70000, S7200 0, S74000, S76000 , S 78000, S86 000, S88000 s ervers.

Information in this guide also applies to NonStop S7x00 servers of model S7400 and higher.

Who Should Use This Guide

This guide is written for anyone who installs system equipment at a customer site. You should be familiar with computers but do not need to be familiar with installing mainframe computer systems. However, those who perform the hardware tasks documented in this guide must have completed training courses on system support for NonStop S-series servers.

Note. NonStop NS-series, NonS t op S-serie s, and NonStop K-s eries refer to h ardware systems; H-series, G-series, and D-series refer to system software.

OSM Guided Replacement Procedures

Some of the procedures in this guide refer to the OSM guided replacement procedures. These automated tools are integrated into the OSM Service Connection. They guide you step-by-step through replacing many customer-replaceable units (CRUs).

To launch OSM guided replacement procedures:

1. Log on to the OSM Service Connection.

2. In the tree pane, locate and select the CRU/FRU you want to replace.

3. Select Actions.

4. In the Actions dialog box, from the Available Actions list, select Replace.

5. Click Perform Acti on to launch the guided procedure.

TSM Guided Replacement Procedures

TSM guided replacements procedures are launched by the Windows Start menu (rather than integrated into the application).

Note. TSM does not su pport IOAM or F ibre Cha nnel di s k -drive enclosures. OSM should be used to manage systems that inc lude these c om ponents.

To access the TSM guided replacement procedures:

Start > Programs > Compaq TSM > Guided Replacement Tools

These guided replacement procedures are currently available:

Replace PMF

•

Replace Power Supply

•

Replace SEB or MSEB

•

Replace SNDA

•

TSM Guided Replacement Procedures

Note. The GRT is used to replace an IOM F, PMF, power supply, or 6760 ServerNet device adapter (ServerNet/DA) in a system running TSM server T7945AAW (shipped with the G06. 12 RVU) or earlier.

Notation Conventions

Hypertext Links

Blue underline is used to indicate a hypertext link within text. By clicking a passage of text with a blue underline, you are taken to the location described. For example:

This requirement is described under Backup DAM Volumes and Physical Disk

Drives on page 3-2.

General Sy ntax Notation

This list summarizes the notation conventions for syntax presentation in this manual.

UPPERCASE LETTERS. Uppercase letters indicate keywords and reserved words; enter

these items exactly as shown. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

MAXATTACH

lowercase italic letters. Lowercase italic letters indicate variable items that you supply.

Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

file-name

computer type. Computer type letters within text indicate C and Open System Services

(OSS) keywords and reserved words; enter these items exactly as shown. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

myfile.c

italic computer type. Italic computer type letters within text indicate C and Open

System Services (OSS) variable items that you supply. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

pathname

Punctuation. Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously

described must be entered as shown. For example:

error := NEXTFILENAME ( file-name ) ; LISTOPENS SU $process-name.#su-name

Quotation marks around a symbol such as a bracket or brace indicate the symbol is a required character that you must enter as shown. For example:

"[" repetition-constant-list "]"

Item Spacing. Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is a

punctuation symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma. For example:

CALL STEPMOM ( process-id ) ;

HP NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation and FastPath Guide —541880-001

About This Guide

Notation for Messages

If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In this example, there are no spaces permitted between the period and any other items:

$process-name.#su-name

Line Spaci ng. If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each

continuation line is indented three spaces and is separated from the preceding line by a blank line. This spacing distinguishes items in a continuation line from items in a vertical list of selections. For example:

ALTER [ / OUT file-spec / ] LINE [ , attribute-spec ]…

Notation for Messages

This list summarizes the notation conventions for the presentation of displayed messages in this manual.

Nonitalic text. Nonitalic letters, numbers, and punctuation indicate text that is displayed or

returned exactly as shown. For example:

Backup Up.

lowercase italic letters. Lowercase italic letters indicate variable items whose values are

displayed or returned. For example:

p-register process-name

Change Bar Notation

Change bars are used to indicate substantive differences between this edition of the manual and the preceding edition. Change bars are vertical rules placed in the right margin of changed portions of text, figures, tables, examples, and so on. Change bars highlight new or revised information. For example:

The message types specified in the REPORT clause are different in the COBOL environment and the Common Run-Time Environment (CRE).

The CRE has many new message types and some new message type codes for old message types. In the CR E, the messa ge type S Y STEM incl udes all me ssages except LOGICAL-CLOSE and LOGICAL-OPEN.
