2.5 Cabling for the Interconnect Network
The interconnect network is a private network within an HP XC system. Typically, every node
in an HP XC system is connected to the interconnect. The interconnect network provides a
high-speed communications path used primarily for user file service and for communications
within applications that are distributed among nodes in the cluster.

Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand are supported as the interconnect types for HP XC hardware
configurations with server blades and enclosures. The procedure to configure the interconnect
network depends upon the type of interconnect in use.

2.5.1 Configuring a Gigabit Ethernet Interconnect
A Gigabit Ethernet interconnect requires one or more external Ethernet switches to act as the
interconnect between the enclosures that make up the HP XC system.
interconnect between the enclosures that make up the HP XC system.
On systems using a Gigabit Ethernet interconnect, one NIC on each server blade is dedicated as
the connection to the interconnect network. On a server blade, NIC2 is used for this purpose.
NIC2 of all server blades connects to interconnect bay 2 on the enclosure.

NIC2 of all server blades connects to interconnect bay 2 on the enclosure.
The entire interconnect network is formed by connecting the device (either a switch or a pass-thru
module) in interconnect bay 2 of each enclosure to one of the Gigabit Ethernet interconnect
switches.
module) in interconnect bay 2 of each enclosure to one of the Gigabit Ethernet interconnect
switches.
If the device is a switch, the Gigabit uplink to the higher level ProCurve switch can be a single
wire or a trunked connection of 2, 4, or 8 wires. If the device is a pass-thru module, there must
be one uplink connection for each server blade in the enclosure.

Non-blade server nodes must also be connected to the interconnect network. See
to determine which port on the node is used for the interconnect network; the port
you use depends on your particular hardware model.
