Management Subsystems for NS7 Systems
The Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem provides a configuration and management interface
for I/O on the system. The CIP subsystem has several tools for monitoring and managing the
subsystem. The Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) also provides monitoring and management
of the CIP subsystem. For more information on using these subsystems, see the Cluster I/O
Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual.

Technical Document for NS7 Systems

Each new NS7 includes a detailed Technical Document that serves as the connection map for
the system and which describes:
Rack included with the system and each enclosure installed in the rack
Rack U location at the bottom edge of each enclosure
Each cable with source, destination, connector type, cable part number, and connection
labels
TIP: It is important to retain all NS7 system records in an Installation Document Packet, including
the Technical Document for your system and any configurations forms. To add CLIM configuration
forms to your Installation Document Packet, have your service provider copy the forms from the
CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Installation and Configuration Manual (L15.02+)

Component Location and Identification

Each system resource is identified by a unique case sensitive ASCII resource name. A name
can range from one to a maximum of 64 characters. The components in the system ship with
preassigned naming conventions that you can change. For more information, see
Conventions for NS7 Systems" (page
For the IP addresses of system components, refer your service provider to the NonStop X System
Hardware Installation Manual.
Rack and Offset Physical Location
Rack name and rack offset identify the physical location of components in an NS7 system. The
rack name is located on an external label affixed to the rack, which includes the system name
plus a 2-digit rack number.
Rack offset is labeled on the rails in each side of the rack. These rails are measured vertically
in units called U, with one U measuring 1.75 inches (44 millimeters). The rack is 36U with U1
located at the bottom and 36U at the top or 42U with U1 located at the bottom and 42U at the
top. The rack offset is the lowest number on the rack that the component occupies.
