Chapter 13 Installing the Nearline 10 Storage System
If you have a NL10R system with two switches, connect as follows:
Two 2900 series switches on a NL10R system
• To the ports on switch A, make a connection from RAID controller 0 and from
the control point PC.
• To the ports on switch B, make a connection from RAID controller 1.
• If you have NH1 K2 Media Servers, from each server make two connections,
one for control and one for FTP. Connect server A to switch A and connect
server B to switch B.
• If you have NH1-10GE K2 Media Servers, from each server connect its 10 Gig
FTP network connection to a 10 Gig port on the rear of the switch and connect
its control network connection to a control port on the switch. Connect server A
to switch A and connect server B to switch B.
• Interconnect switch A and switch B with three 1 Gig ISLs.
Refer to “Nearline 10 system description” on page 604 for a diagram of the complete
system.

NOTE: Make sure you check the switch firmware and upgrade if necessary, as
instructed at the end of this procedure.
The following procedure is for the HP ProCurve switch 2900 series. Do not use this
procedure on other switch models.
For Nearline 10 with two switches, do the following on each switch.
Use a direct console connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the
Switch Setup screen to set the IP address.
1. Configure the PC terminal emulator on the control point PC or another PC as a
DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal or use a VT-100 terminal, and configure either one
to operate with these settings:
• Baud rate 115200
