for

.
CSM
allows
you
to
perform
Linux
installations
over
a
network.
An
IBM
licensed
program,
CSM
provides
a
distributed
systems
management
solution
for
nodes
of
a
cluster
running
Red
Hat
7.1
(as
distributed
and
supported
by
Red
Hat).
More
information
about
using
CSM
is
available
at
the
following
Web
site:

IBM
Director
4.0
and
RDM
3.1.01
provide
an
easy
way
to
configure
the
components
of
the
BladeCenter
unit
and
allows
you
to
quickly
reconfigure
your
servers
to
meet
workload
and
hardware
availability
requirements.
Instructions
for
using
IBM
Director
4.0
and
RDM
3.1.01
are
provided
in
the
BladeCenter

Deployment
infrastructure
Although
the
deployment
of
the
BladeCenter
unit
does
not
require
you
to
do
so,
you
should
consider
setting
up
a
separate
management
network
to
configure
and
manage
your
BladeCenter
unit.
By
separating
the
LAN
segment
used
for
production
from
the
LAN
segment
to
which
the
BladeCenter
management
module
(as
well
as
the
IBM
Director
and
RDM
server,
if
present)
is
connected,
you
can
ensure
that
unauthorized
connections
are
not
possible.
Only
the
administrators’
systems
would
be
connected
to
this
LAN
segment.
You
should
also
consider
the
use
of
a
DHCP
server
to
lease
IP
addresses
on
the
management
LAN.
When
powered
on,
the
management
module
by
default
searches
for
a
DHCP
server
and
sets
a
default
static
IP
address
if
a
DHCP
server
is
not
found.
Because
the
default
static
IP
address
is
the
same
for
all
management
modules,
IP
address
conflicts
can
result
if
you
do
not
use
a
DHCP
server.
Figure
8
on
page

shows
an
example
network
that
might
be
used
to
configure
and
manage
your
BladeCenter.
