ASM interconnect network configuration examples
The illustrations in this section show sample ASM interconnect network
configurations.
The following illustration shows an Ethernet cable connecting the remote
administrator system to the Remote Supervisor Adapter that is installed in an
xSeries 360. Server 1 uses the LAN connection to forward system-management
data generated by the other servers in the ASM interconnect network bus to the
remote system-management administrator.
Note: A Remote
Supervisor Adapter is
required in each server.
