  • Page 46 Connect and Set Up NAT box...
  • Page 47 The router box, sometimes referred to as a Cable/DSL router or a Network Address Translation box (NAT box), is the hardware bridge between two networks. In this case we are using NAT boxes to put individual internal LANs on a multi-server LAN or a corporate LAN. SMC makes a device that contains both the functions of a NAT box with a LAN HUB and it is this device we use.
  • Page 48 NAT box Installation Procedure 1. Using a BN25G-xx (RJ45) cable connect your PC to any LAN port on the front of the NAT box in the system. 2. Make sure or configure your PC network connection is set to DHCP. 1.

  • Page 52 On this screen change the IP address from 192.168.2.1 to 10.253.0.2. (this now becomes the address of the NAT box on the internal LAN.) Leave the subnet mask as is and disable the NAT box’s DHCP Server. (When you disable the DHCP server, the IP address pool addresses are ignored.) Once the IP address is entered and Disable DHCP is selected, press Enter.
  • Page 54 Continue on the next screen. The NAT box immediately changes its address to 10.253.0.2, its address on the internal LAN and the connection to your PC through Internet Explorer is broken. To re-connect to the NAT box you must re-configure your PC to an internal LAN address on the system.

If the customer did not follow our suggested addressing scheme, you’ll have to get this address from the customer.
  • Page 56 If the customer uses a Domain Name Server on the WAN to which the NAT box connects, enter the address assigned by the customer. These two addresses are necessary only if the customer uses a Domain Name Server. Note that these addresses are WINS addresses and differ from DNS addresses.
  • Page 58 Ignore the warning and click Enter. The first Advanced setting screen allows you to leave on or turn off the firewall. Click the no button disabling the firewall and then enter. The Virtual Server screen appears which you disregard. On the left side of the screen click on Misc and the following screen appears. The virtual DMZ host needs to be enabled and its address set to 10.253.0.1.

  • Page 66 Set up the AMS on the Corporate LAN You will need a fixed address for the AMS on the corporate LAN which you’ll have to get from the customer. You’ll also need to know what mask is used on the network and get a name for the AMS if the customer wants one. This example uses a DS10 as the AlphaServer Management Station.

  • Page 69 7. Click the User Supplied button. Enter the Host Name - a name created by the customer for the AMS on the corporate LAN. Enter the address of the AMS on the corporate LAN (Address supplied by the customer) Enter the network mask: in this case 255.255.252.0 - supplied by the customer Click the OK button.
  • Page 70 Setup the AMS on the MS LAN Since the multi-server LAN is a network owned and operated by the customer, we recommend that you use a TCP/IP address of the form 90.0.100.x for systems and a fixed address 90.0.0.102 for the AMS on that network. The example used here reflect that addressing scheme.

  • Page 74: Powering Up The System

    Powering Up the System In general when the system is plugged in and the circuit breakers on the power distribution unit(s) are in the on position, the display on the console will be the MBM> prompt. When the key switch on the cabinet door or tower OCP is put into the on position power up will begin and its progress traced on the console screen and on the OCP display.
  • Page 75 OCP ES47 Tower...
  • Page 76 The system can be controlled by the OCP. The MBM listens to the OCP switch and pushbuttons. When the state of the switch changes from off to on, the machine responds by executing its power-up routines, traces of which you’ll see on the OCP display and on the console, if you are using an AMS or PC as a console.

  • Page 92 Running Q-Vet Run Q-Vet on each partition in the system. We recommend that you review the Special Notices and the Testing Notes section of the Release Notes located at http://chump2.mro.cpqcorp.net/qvet/ before running Q-Vet. Follow the instructions listed for your operating system to run Q-Vet in each partition. Tru64 UNIX 1.
  • Page 93 Reviewing Results of the Q-Vet Run After running Q-Vet, check the results by reviewing the summary log. Q-Vet will run all exercisers until the slowest device has completed one full pass. Depending on the size of the system, this will typically take 2 to 12 hours. Q-Vet will then terminate testing and produce a summary log.
