5. Connect the other end of this Ethernet cable to any port on an Ethernet switch or
hub except the cascade port. See Figure 10-5.
Add a Server to the Operating Configuration
A server in the operating configuration requires connections to both Ethernet switches
or hubs. If each switch or hub has an unused port, you can add a server to the
configuration online.
Before you add a server to the operating configuration:
•
Install a primary system console, a backup system console, and two Ethernet
switches or hubs. See Operating Configuration on page 10-3.
•
Ensure that the existing server in the operating configuration is fully operational.
See Section 8, Powering On and Starting the System.
•
Configure OSM or TSM. See Configuring the OSM or TSM Environment on
page 9-16 and the OSM User’s Guide or TSM Configuration Guide.
