  • Requires OpenVMS V7.1-2 or later and OpenVMS Cluster license (QL-MUZAG-AA)

MEMORY CHANNEL Controller/Network Hub

  • Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-AA for each system and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable; cable connects directly to CCMAB-AA in each system
  • For three or four system clusters, order one CCMAB-AA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each system and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster
  • CCMHB-AA includes four CCMLB-AA line cards and supports up to four nodes; expansion up to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four additional CCMLB-AA line cards
  • If two or more CCMAB-AA controllers are configured in each system, a second CCMHB-AA hub is required for clusters with more than two nodes; in 2-node clusters the CCMAB-AA may be directly connected
  • In cases where nodes must be separated by a longer distance than standard copper cables allow, the CCMFB option converts the output of the standard CCMAB controller or CCMLB line card to single-mode fiber optic cable. The fiber optic connection may be up to 2,000 meters long between two CCMAB controllers connected in virtual hub mode, or 3,000 meters between a CCMAB controller and a CCMHB hub. (The connection from the CCMHB hub to a second system may also be 3,000 meters). The CCMFB option requires a second PCI slot in the system from which it draws power only. It is normally connected to the corresponding CCMAB controller with the short BN39B-01 cable. The CCMFB is also used in the CCMHB hub where it occupies a slot normally used by the CCMLB line card, limiting expansion to four radial fiber optic connections.
  • The CCMHB-BA hub expansion box provides additional slots for up to eight fiber optic connections. Two standard length, single-mode fiber optic cables are available (BN34R-10 and BN34R-31); however, users normally provide this connection. Customers should reference the TIA/EIA 568-A Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard, Section 12.3.4. Fiber optic connectivity is completely transparent to the systems using it and has no performance impact.

Step 15 - Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS Partitions - Optional
  • A single GS60E can be divided into a maximum of two partitions. Each partition is allocated its own set of hardware resources- CPU, memory, and I/O module. Partitioning support requiresTru64 UNIX V4.0F or later, or OpenVMS V7.2 or later operating system and partitioning licenses.
  • System Console Firmware Revision 5.5x required
  • Each partition requires a minimum of one CPU module, one memory module, one I/O module, and one DWLPB (PCI shelf) per partition
  • Each partition has its own instance of the operating system, independent system console, and error log
  • Each partition must have a dedicated console terminal. The first partition will obtain this support in a standard manner via the server console panel. The second partition requires a KFE72-DA to obtain this console support. H8571-J adapter is required to connect KFE72-DA to the console terminal. The KFE72-DA does not include a floppy diskette drive. Order 3X-KFE72-LA if a floppy or graphics support is required.
  • For more information regarding Tru64 UNIX V4.0F partitioning configuration hardware guidelines and console partition commands, see Tru64 UNIX V4.0F SPD 41.61.22 and Tru64 UNIX V4.0F System Administration Guide, Appendix E.4.
