BYNET V5 Network Topology for a Maximum 162-Node System
- Consists of one or more 1700 processing/storage cabinets, a VMS with SWS VM or a Service Workstation (SWS), plus additional (optional ) Platform Framework Cabinets.
- Scalable from 1 to 162 total processing nodes (TPA nodes and hot standby nodes), channel servers, NCSs, and TMSs in any combination.
- Two BYNET V5 cabinets provide redundant networks (Network-0 and Network-1). Each cabinet contains one 162-port switch.
- Each 162-port BYNET V5 switch contains from 2 to 9 line boards. Each line board supports up to 18 processing nodes, channel servers, NCSs, and TMSs .
- Each processing node, channel server, or NCS contains a dual port InfiniBand adapter that connects to the BYNET V5 switch in each BYNET V5 cabinet. A TMS may contain a dual port InfiniBand adapter that connects to the switches.
- Individual optical InfiniBand cables are used to connect processing nodes, channel servers, NCSs, and TMSs in expansion cabinets, or channel servers, NCSs, and TMSs in (optional) Platform Framework Cabinets, to the BYNET V5 switches in each BYNET V5 cabinet.
- For port-to-port cabling, see the appropriate Hardware Installation Guide.
