6.9	Perform HiPath 5000 Basic Configuration

A distinction should be drawn between the basic configuration of a

•	HiPath 5000 RSM as central administration unit in an IP network. The formation of a "single system image" allows the central administration of all associated nodes.

The IP network is administered via the Feature server. The HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E administration tool does not communicate with the individual nodes but exchanges data with the Feature server. The Feature server ensures that the networked nodes receive synchronized CDB data. The Feature Server is an MS Windows service that automatically starts at the same time as the HiPath 5000 RSM.

HG 1500 boards are still administered on a board-specific basis using Web-based management (WBM).

The administration of IP networking with HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E is divided into the following steps:

a)

Configuring the individual nodes belonging to the network = Configuration of the individual customer databases.

b)

Configuring the Feature server = Create an empty server net file.

c)

Start data transfer = registration of the individual nodes and transfer of the node data to the server net file.

d)

Transfer the central database for IP networking = Load the server net file to the Feature server. The customer database is then automatically distributed to the various nodes.

Future administrative node work is then performed by the server.
