Consolidating Multi-SMC/AS Configurations to One SMC 7-3
1. From the configurations, select an SMC to serve as the single SMC in the
new configuration. It is assumed that the software for the selected SMC
has been set up for its original connection (as described for other
configurations in Chapters 8, 9, and 10.) This chapter includes software
steps that add information to the chosen SMC from the SMC’s being
removed).
NOTE: It is a good idea to select the SMC with the most connections (terminal
servers/partitions), since you will have to physically copy and
reconstruct system and configuration information from the SMCs you
remove onto the remaining one.
2. If the SMC is not connected to a terminal server, you will need to add one.
Cable the terminal server to the AlphaServer GS80/160/320, as described in
Section 5.1.
3. Cable the existing or newly added terminal server to the network hub.
Connect one end of a BN25G cable (17-03212-05) to the management
channel connector on the terminal server (
in Figure 7–2). Connect the
other end of the cable to a port on the network hub (see Figure 7–3). Use
any port except port 1.
