  • Page 2 HP Integrity Superdome cannot support both PA-8800 and Itanium processors in the same system, even if they are on different partitions. However, it is possible to have the Itanium 2 1.5-GHz processor, the Itanium 2 1.6-GHz processor and the HP mx2 processor module in the same system, but on different partitions.
  • Page 3 As part of HP Critical Service, you get the services of a team of HP certified experts that will assist with the transition process, teach your staff how to optimize system performance, and monitor your system closely so potential problems are identified before they can affect availability.

  • Page 6 Each backplane cabinet can support up to eight cells or 32 processors (in a Superdome 32- socket in a single cabinet). A backplane supporting four cells or 16 processors would result in a Superdome 16-socket. Two backplanes can be linked together with flex cables to produce a cabinet that can support up to 16 cells or 64 processors (Superdome 64-socket in dual cabinets).
  • Page 7 I/O chassis. A 4-cell Superdome (16-socket) supports up to four I/O chassis for a maximum of 48 PCI-X slots. An 8-cell Superdome (32-socket) supports up to eight I/O chassis for a maximum of 96 PCI-X slots. Four of these I/O chassis will reside in an I/O expansion cabinet.
  • Page 8 The I/O expansion cabinet is based on a modified HP Rack System E and all expansion components mount in the rack. Each component is designed to install independently in the rack. The Rack System E cabinet has been modified to allow I/O interface cables to route between the ICE and cell boards in the Superdome cabinet.
  • Page 9 NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: The HP DVD-ROM Array Module for the TA5300 (C7499B) is replaced by HP DVD+RW Array Module (Q1592A) to provide customers with read capabilities for loading software from CD or DVD, DVD write capabilities for small amounts of data (up to 4 GB) and offline hot-swap capabilities.
  • Page 10 Superdome can be configured with hardware partitions, (nPars). Given that HP UX 11i version 2, Windows Server 2003, SUSE SLES 9 and Red Hat (RHEL) AS 3 do not support virtual partitions (vPars), Superdome systems running HP UX 11i version 2, Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, SUSE SLES 9 or Red Hat RHEL AS 3, do not support vPars.
  • Page 11 CPU: The features below nearly eliminate the down time associated with CPU cache errors (which are the majority of CPU errors). If a CPU is exhibiting excessive cache errors, HP-UX 11i version 2 will ONLINE activate to take its place. Furthermore, the CPU cache will automatically be repaired on reboot, eliminating the need for a service call.
  • Page 12 Since no single system solution in the industry provides protection against a SPOF, users that still need this kind of safety and HP's highest availability should use HA cluster software in a multiple system HA configuration. Multiple HA software clusters can be configured within a single Superdome system (i.e., two 4-node clusters configured within a 32-socket Superdome system).
  • Page 13 HBA, AB232A, AB466A or AB4667A. Additionally, the NCU (NIC Configuration Utility), which is provided from HP on the SmartSetup CD that ships with Windows partitions, can also be used in conjunction with MSCS clusters with the HP supported Windows NIC cards.
  • Page 14 NOTE 1: NOTE 1: Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition must be installed by HP. If factory installation is selected, then a qualified Windows storage device must be ordered and an A9890A, AB466A or AB467A card must be ordered. There must be at least one boot drive for each partition. Two drives are required for RAID 1;...
  • Page 15 LAN configurations. If an HP-UX workstation is used as a console device, an hpterm window running telnet is the recommended way to connect to the MP. If a PC is used as a console device, Reflection1 configured for hpterm emulation and telnet connection is the recommended way to connect to the MP.
  • Page 16 Superdome customers. The user of the SMS is the HP Customer Engineer and HP Factory Support Engineer. The Superdome customer benefits from their use of the SMS by receiving faster return to normal operation of their Superdome server, and improved accuracy of fault diagnosis, resulting in fewer callbacks.
  • Page 17 Provides partition logon capability, providing hpterm emulation over telnet, X-windows, and Windows Terminal Services capabilities. Provides following diagnostics tools: Runs HP's proven highly effective JTAG scan diagnostic tools, which offer rapid fault resolution to the failing wire. Console log storage and viewing...
  • Page 18 PC SMS is supposed to be connected to a phone line. This is for the case in which the customer does not want to SMS to be on the public network, and the HP Field Services needs to get into the SMS (then they would go through the phone line with PC Anywhere) 4.
  • Page 19 Software Distributor (SD) is the HP-UX administration tool set used to deliver and maintain HP-UX operating systems and layered software applications. Delivered as part of HP-UX, SD can help you manage your HP-UX operating system, patches, and application software on HP Itanium2-based servers.

  • Page 26 Heavy-load electrical equipment or power rationing are some of the reasons these situations arise. The APC SL20KFB2 units are designed to kick in before the AC power drops below the operating range of the HP Superdome Enterprise Server. Therefore, these UPS units may run on battery frequently if the AC power source consistently dips below the threshold voltage.

  • Page 28 In place of the terminated cable, a terminator is placed on the cable port to provide termination until the cable is attached. This is needed to allow HP-UX to boot. The customer does not need to order the terminators for these factory integrated SCSI cards, since the customer will probably discard them.
  • Page 29 If more than half the nodes of a cluster are outside the Superdome cabinet, no cluster lock is required (16-node maximum Serviceguard cluster size). Up to a 4-node cluster is supported within a single cabinet system (Superdome/16-socket or Superdome/PA- 8800 32-socket)
  • Page 30 In the unlikely event that a CPU fails, the HP system will replace the failed CPU on the cell board at no additional charge. The Instant Capacity CPU brings the system back to full performance and capacity levels, reducing downtime and ensuring no degradation in performance.
  • Page 31 In the unlikely event that a cell board fails, the HP system will replace the cell board at no additional charge. The COD cell board brings the system back to full performance and capacity levels, reducing downtime and ensuring no degradation in performance.
  • Page 32 This is the cornerstone of HP's pay-as-you-go Utility Pricing. Customers will be able to benefit from their servers as a "compute utility". Customers will choose when to apply additional CPU capacity and will only be charged when the additional processing power is utilized.
