Some important rules regarding SMS/Console support in mixed Superdome environments:
PA-8700 Superdomes require scan and console traffic to be isolated on separate networks
Integrity Superdomes do not require scan and console traffic to be isolated on separate networks
The Windows ProLiant SMS cannot be used to manage PA-8700 Superdomes
The UNIX rx2600 SMS can be used to manage all current models of Superdome
A legacy UNIX SMS can manage Integrity Superdomes as long as it undergoes a software upgrade and is running HP-UX
11.0

Upgrading a PA-8700 Superdome to Integrity
Once a PA-8700 Superdome has been upgraded to Integrity, a software upgrade must be performed on
the SMS in order to have the correct scan tools for the sx1000 chipset. Alternatively, a new Windows
ProLiant SMS or a UNIX rx2600 SMS can be ordered.
After performing the software upgrade, scan and console traffic from the SMS to the newly upgraded
Superdome can co-exist on the same network. Note that if there are other PA-8700 Superdomes still
connected to the SMS, those Superdomes will still require the two separate networks (see Adding a PA-
8800 Superdome to a PA-8700 Environment, below).

When adding an Integrity Superdome to a PA-8700 environment, the Customer can choose to purchase
a new SMS/Console (either the Windows or UNIX version) to manage the new Integrity Superdome, and
continue to use their existing legacy SMS to manage the PA-8700 Superdomes.
A simpler solution is to upgrade the software on the legacy UNIX SMS so that it may manage the new
Integrity Superdome. The upgraded UNIX SMS is able to determine which Superdomes are PA-8700 and
which are Integrity, and will separate scan traffic from console traffic on the PA-8700 Superdomes.
To support this, the separate scan and console networks should be maintained for all PA-8700
Superdomes. The new Integrity Superdome requires only one connection to the SMS from its
Private/Customer LAN port on the MP.
