Verifying the Interconnects and Achieving Hardware RFU If you have a gateway on the external LAN: 12. Type Y and press Enter. You are asked for the IP address of the gateway: n-ENTER THE IP ADDRESS OF THE GATEWAY n nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn 13. Type the numeric IP address as requested and press Enter. You are asked to confirm the address: n-IS nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn CORRECT? Y/N n 14. Type Y and press Enter if the address is correct. (Otherwise, type N (no), press Enter, and reenter the address.) You are then asked for the IP address of the 2200 node on the Ethernet LAN: n-ENTER THE ETHERNET LAN IP ADDRESS FOR THE 2200 NODE n nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn Continue at step 16. If you do not have a gateway on the external LAN: 15. Type N and press Enter. You are asked for the IP address of the 2200 node on the Ethernet LAN: n-ENTER THE ETHERNET LAN IP ADDRESS FOR THE 2200 NODE n nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn Continue with step 16. 16. Type the numeric IP address of the 2200 node as requested, then press Enter. You are asked to confirm the address: n-IS nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn CORRECT? Y/N n 17. If the address is correct, type Y and press Enter. (Otherwise type N, press Enter, and reenter the address.) When you have successfully entered the information requested in these steps, you are ready to start CMS 1100. Note: You may repeat this entire process whenever necessary if any information has been miskeyed or you wish to change the configuration. Starting CMS 1100 To start CMS 1100 for the first time after it has been configured, enter the following keyin on the 2200 node: ST STARTCMS,1 14–14 Version 009B (Web Only) 7850 5104–009

Verifying the Interconnects and Achieving Hardware RFU The "1" option instructs CMS 1100 to retrieve the system configuration from CMS1100$*- CONFIG$.CONFIG and save an internal representation of it. This option must be used whenever the system configuration changes and CMS 1100 is reconfigured. At other times, it is unnecessary but harmless. Using CMS 1100 in Verifying Hardware Communications (If Not Yet Done) At this point, if the PING test for hardware communications has not been done, continue with 14.6. Otherwise continue with Section 15. 14.6. Running the PING Test to Verify Hardware Communications Once CMS 1100 is up and running (14.5.1 or 14.5.2), take the steps below to test interconnect communications and achieve hardware RFU. Notes: • For Model IX5000 Series or IX4800 servers below Plateau 2.0 that are configured for resilient partitions, a minimum CC3000 tape level of 1R2 is required to execute the PING test for the second 2200 node. At Plateau 2.0, the CC6000 tape supersedes the CC3000 for all configurations. The minimum required level of CC6000 is 2R1. • If the second 2200 node in a resilient partition is up and running, perform the PING test for both nodes. • During a PING test, CMS 1100 warning messages may appear stating “*FDDIVn NODE(S) NOT CONFIGURED IN THE EXEC.” You can ignore those messages if the connections were not configured because the extra interconnect hardware components were not purchased as part of the system. But, if you receive four of those messages where n is equal to I, J, K, and L then the ODB either does not have the interconnect configured, or it is configured with the wrong device names. 1. At each Intel node, log on as follows: • If running UnixWare, log on as superuser at a console session, if you are not already logged on (8.12.1). • If running Windows NT, log on as administrator, if you are not already logged on (3.5), and launch a Command Prompt session. 2. For each active 2200 node, type the following command, then press Enter: ping fddiname where fddiname is the FDDI host name of the 2200 node being tested (see Appendix B for assigned FDDI host names). The response depends on which software is being run as follows: • For UnixWare, the following message appears: fddiname is alive The connection is not operational if the following message appears: no answer from fddiname 7850 5104–009 Version 009B (Web Only) 14–15
