Server Management Network for System with Maximum 36 Nodes, No BYNET Cabinets

- This configuration is built on the cabinet and collective topology defined in Collectives.
- This configuration illustrates topology for one to eighteen processing/storage cabinets.
- One or more of the processing/storage cabinets shown above may be in single collective, depending on system configuration. The collective may include Platform Framework Cabinets (not shown).
- The path for the primary network runs as described below:
From the following: To the following primary Ethernet switches: The SWS or VMS Cabinet 1 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 1 Cabinets 2, 3, and 4 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 3 Cabinets 5 and 6 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 5 Cabinets 7 and 8 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 6 Cabinets 9 and 10 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 7 Cabinets 11 and 12 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 8 Cabinets 13 and 14 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 9 Cabinets 15 and 16 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 10 Cabinets 17 and 18 - The path for the secondary network runs as described below:
From the following: To the following secondary Ethernet switches: The SWS or VMS Cabinet 1 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 2 Cabinets 1, 3, and 4 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 4 Cabinets 5 and 6 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 5 Cabinets 9 and 10 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 6 Cabinets 7 and 8 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 7 Cabinets 13 and 14 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 8 Cabinets 11 and 12 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 9 Cabinets 17 and 18 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 10 Cabinets 15 and 16 - Separate primary and secondary paths ensure network backup.The SWS can be a VM on the VMS in the first processing/storage cabinet or a rackmounted SWS in a Platform Framework Cabinet.
