The rx6600 is also available in a stand-alone, pedestal form factor (AD308A). Kit will be shipped in a separate box for field installation only.

I/O Architecture

The HP Integrity rx6600 supports two I/O backplane options in order to provide maximum flexibility, I/O card availability, performance, scalability and reliability. The two options are a PCI-X 2.0 Backplane (AD296A#100) or a PCI-Express Backplane option (AD296A#300). Only one backplane per system is supported.

PCI-X 2.0 Backplane:
This backplane provides ten PCI X I/O slots, two of which are reserved for Core I/O cards, and eight of which are available for I/O card expansion. The Core I/O slots will always be filled with either an HP PCI X 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host bus adapter (for HP UX and OVMS systems) or an HP PCI X Smart Array (P600) 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) card (for Windows and Linux systems) (slot #1) and a PCI X dual port 10/100/1000Base TX LAN adapter (slot #2).

Each port of a Serial Attached SCSI card can be connected to a Serial Attached SCSI hard disk drive. When more than eight hard disk drives are required, a second HP PCI-X 8 port SAS card must be ordered. This second SAS card will be installed in the second core I/O slot, and the PCI-X dual port 10/100/1000Base TX LAN adapter will be moved out to a standard I/O slot. Note that when the LAN adapter is moved out to a standard I/O slot, Wake On LAN is not supported.

HP-UX and OpenVMS based systems with PCI-X 2.0 Backplane:
Must choose the HP PCI-X 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI host bus adapter for Core I/O controller (AB036B#006 or AB036B#106). If factory configured RAID is not desired, select Option Code 006. If factory configured RAID-1 is desired, select Option Code 106. RAID-1 only is supported on the HP PCI-X 8 Internal Port SAS host bus adapter. When selecting Option Code 106, a minimum of 2 HDD's of the same size and speed are required. A maximum of two internal RAID 1 volumes (2×2 HDDs) and a disk for global hot spare, for a maximum of five disks in RAIDed arrays is supported. The additional three drives (of the maximum of eight drives supported on the controller) can be accessed normally, but not configured for RAID. When from 9 to 16 HDD's are ordered, a second SAS Controller is required to support disks 9 through 16. The second controller cannot be factory configured for RAID (unless it is done through Factory Express). For customer/field configured RAID arrays, the same limitations (two RAID 1 arrays and one global hot spare) exist. The additional three HDDs (14 through 16) can be accessed normally, but not configured for RAID. Please see rx6600 Ordering Guide for factory configuration details. Please note that MirrorDisk/UX is available for SW Mirroring on all HDDs in HP-UX based systems and HP Volume Shadowing (software Raid 1) for HDDs in OpenVMS-based systems.

Windows and Linux based systems with PCI-X 2.0 Backplane:
Must choose the HP PCI-X 8 port Smart Array (P600) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller for Core I/O controller (AB036B#100, or AB036B#500, or AB036B#510). Option 100 provides for factory configuration of RAID-1 (requires a minimum of 2 HDDs). Option 500 provides for factory configuration of RAID-5 (requires a minimum of 3 HDDs). Option 510 provides for factory configuration of RAID-6 (requires a minimum of 4 HDDs). All HDDs must be the same size and speed. When from 9 to 16 HDDs are ordered, a second SAS Controller is required to support disks 9 through 16. The second controller cannot be factory configured for RAID (unless it is done through Factory Express). Please see rx6600 Ordering Guide for details.

Remaining Eight (non-Core I/O) slots:
The two slots (#3 and #4) next to the Core I/O slots have their own dedicated 64 bit 266 MHz PCI X bus and their own independent 2.1 GB/s I/O channel. These slots should be used for high performance PCI X cards, such as clustering interconnects or multi port storage adapters. The next two slots (slots #5 and #6) each have their own dedicated 64 bit 133 MHz PCI X bus and their own independent 1.1 GB/s I/O channel. The independent buses and I/O channels provide improved performance and error containment. Independence protects each I/O card from bus hangs or extended latencies due to the failure or high bandwidth demands of other I/O cards. Independence also ensures that each I/O card can achieve maximum throughput.

The remaining four slots (#7 through #10) share two 64 bit 66 MHz PCI X buses, with two slots allocated to each bus. Each pair of slots shares a 0.5 GB/s I/O channel.

NOTE: Hot plug operations are not supported with the Linux or OpenVMS operating systems or in the core I/O slots with any operating system.

All I/O slots are keyed for I/O cards with 3.3V signaling. Cards that use 5V signaling are not supported in the HP Integrity rx6600.

PCI-Express Backplane:
This backplane also provides ten I/O slots. There are two PCI X Core I/O slots; one PCI X Core I/O slot will always have a PCI X dual port 10/100/1000Base TX LAN adapter (slot #2), unless a second storage controller is required, in which case the second controller is configured in slot #2 and the LAN card is moved out to public slot #10, and one PCI X Core I/O slot is provided in the case that the HP PCI X 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host bus adapter is chosen when ordering an HP UX or OpenVMS based system, or if an HP PCI X Smart Array (P600) 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) card is chosen (slot #1) when ordering a Windows or Linux based system. If a PCI Express 8 port Smart Array (P400, supports only internal connection to SAS disks) Serial Attached SCSI controller (supported with HP UX, OpenVMS, Windows, and Linux) is chosen, or if a PCI Express 16 port (8 internal ports and 8 external ports) Smart Array (P800) Serial Attached SCSI controller (for Windows and Linux only, also supports connection to external SAS disks) is chosen, the PCI X Core I/O slot remains empty and the PCI Express controller is installed in slot #3.

Each port of a Serial Attached SCSI card can be connected to a Serial Attached SCSI hard disk drive. When more than eight hard disk drives are required, a second 8 port Serial Attached SCSI card must be ordered. If a PCI-X card is chosen, it will be installed in the reserved PCI-X core I/O slot. If a PCI-Express card is chosen, it will be installed in slot #4.

HP-UX and OpenVMS based systems with PCI-Express Backplane:
These systems have the two choices for Core I/O controller; the HP PCI-X 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI host bus adapter or the HP PCI-Express 8 Internal Port Smart Array (P400) Serial Attached SCSI controller.

  1. HP PCI-X 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI host bus adapter (AB036B#006 or AB036B#106). If factory configured RAID is not desired, select Option Code 006. If factory configured RAID-1 is desired, select Option Code 106. RAID-1 only is supported on the HP PCI-X 8 Internal Port SAS host bus adapter. When selecting Option Code 106, a minimum of 2 HDD's of the same size and speed are required. A maximum of two internal RAID 1 volumes (2×2 HDDs) and a disk for global hot spare, for a maximum of five disks in RAIDed arrays is supported. The additional three drives (of the maximum of eight drives supported on the controller) can be accessed normally, but not configured for RAID.

Supported Windows I/O Cards

NOTE:
While ordering Windows Server 2008, do not mix differing brands of HBAs (Emulex and Qlogic) within the same server configuration in an MPIO environment.This is to avoid issues which occur when different Fibre Channel HBAs are used within the same server which support different I/O max transfer packet sizes in an MPIO environment. For example, the Emulex Fibre Channel HBAs support a max I/O transfer packet size of 1MB and the Qlogic Fibre Channel HBAs support a max I/O transfer packet size of 2MB. Mixing these two cards in an MPIO configuration can cause the system to hit a BSOD 0X000000D1 with a reference to elxstor.sys

This applies to the following products:
Emulex:
HP StorageWorks single port 8 Gigabit PCI-e FC Emulex HBA (AH402A)

HP Integrity rx6600 Trusted Platform Module

The rx6600 has an accessory option for an embedded security chip - the Trusted Platforms Module (TPM) - product number AB404A. HP-UX Trusted Computing Services (HP-UX TCS) provides software support for the TPM when running HP-UX 11i v2. By providing a low-cost embedded security chip option (known as a Trusted Platform Module) in its zx2-based Integrity servers (rx2660, rx3600, and rx6600), HP has established a foundation for strong protection of sensitive information - including cryptographic keys. Built around industry standards, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) provides a basis for key storage by securely generating and storing cryptographic keys. HP-UX 11i TCS takes this a step further by providing the necessary infrastructure for managing the TPM, as well as integrating it into select features such as HP-UX Encrypted Volumes and File Systems (EVFS).

Using HP-UX TCS with EVFS:

Using HP-UX TCS to make the unattended boot capability of EVFS more secure is an important example of how HP-UX TCS can be integrated with other applications to enhance security. For more information see the "Protecting EVFS Keys with HP-UX TCS" chapter in the "HP-UX Trusted Computing Services Administrators Guide" available in the HP-UX Trusted Computing Services section at: http://docs.hp.com/en/internet.html

Please note that HP-UX 11iTCS requires:

(1) An HP zx2-based Integrity server (rx2660, rx3600, or rx6600) with a TPM installed, running HP-UX 11iv2 September 2006 release or later
(2) Installation of kernel patch PHKL_35428

To download TCS and EVFS, please see the HP-UX Software Depot web page at: http://software.hp.com
HP Integrity rx6600 Power Subsystem

The HP Integrity rx6600 provides a high level of integrated power protection:

  • N+1 redundant hot swap power supplies
  • N+1 redundant AC power input protection with electrical phase isolation
  • Power monitoring and control

The HP Integrity rx6600 supports a second hot swap power supply for N+1 protection. One supply is shipped as a standard part of every system and is required for correct operation. The hot swap design allows for the online replacement of a power supply when N+1=2 supplies are configured in the server.

The HP Integrity rx6600 provides an independent power input receptacle for each power supply. The independent design provides protection against losing the connection from a power cord or breaker. The HP Integrity rx6600 power cords should always be plugged into separate breakers when possible.
