NOTE:
The Storage CLIM uses the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem. For more information
about the CIP subsystem, refer to the

IP CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) (Optional)
The IP CLIM is a rack-mounted server that is part of some NS2100 system configurations. For
RVU requirements for DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 IP CLIMs, see
. An NS2100
system can have 0, 1, or 2 IP CLIMs. The IP CLIM connects to the VIO enclosure and functions
as a ServerNet Ethernet adapter providing HPE standard Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface
Cards (NICs) to implement one of these IP CLIM configurations:

These illustrations show the Ethernet interfaces and ServerNet fabric connections on the DL380
G6 and DL380p Gen8 IP CLIM with the IP CLIM option 1 and option 2 configurations. For
illustrations of the fronts of these CLIMs, see
“CLuster I/O Modules (CLIMs)” (page 16)
.
NOTE:
All CLIMs use the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem. For more information about
the CIP subsystem, see the
