Configuring Information
Configuring InformationConfiguring Information
Configuring Information
Up to two PCI-to-System Area Network adapters (CCMAB-AA) are supported in a single system.
Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-AA for each node and one BN39B-04 or
BN39B-10 cable; cable connects directly to CCMAB-AA in each node
For a two-node cluster that will not be rebooted when adding additional members, order one CCMAB-
AA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each node and one CCMHB-AA hub for the
cluster
Two-node clusters can also be configured by ordering two CCMAB-AA adapters for each node and two
BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cables; cables connect directly to CCMAB-AA in each node.
For three or four node clusters, order one CCMAB-AA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for
each node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster If two CCMAB-AAs are configured in each system, a
second CCMHB-AA is required.
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 CCMLB-AA line cards.
If nodes must be separated by a distance longer 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.
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 fiber optic connection. Fiber optic connectivity is completely transparent to the
systems using it and has no performance impact.
