Chapter

Configuring
the
BladeCenter
T
unit
The
BladeCenter
T
unit
automatically
detects
the
modules
and
blade
servers
that
are
installed
and
stores
the
vital
product
data
(VPD).
When
the
BladeCenter
T
unit
is
started,
the
management
module
automatically
configures
the
remote
management
port
on
the
management
module,
accessed
through
the
LAN
module
on
the
rear
of
the
BladeCenter
T
unit,
so
that
you
can
configure
and
manage
the
BladeCenter
T
unit
and
blade
servers.
You
configure
and
manage
the
BladeCenter
T
unit
remotely,
through
the
management
module,
using
the
Web-based
user
interface.
Note:
There
are
two
ways
to
configure
the
switch
modules;
through
the
management-module
Web
interface,
or
through
an
external
switch-module
port
enabled
through
the
management
module,
using
a
Telnet
interface
or
a
Web
browser.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
switch
module
for
more
information.
For
the
active
management
module
to
communicate
with
the
I/O
modules
in
the
BladeCenter
T
unit,
you
must
configure
the
IP
addresses
for
the
following
internal
and
external
ports:
v
The
external
Ethernet
(remote
management)
port
on
the
management
module,
accessed
through
the
LAN
module
on
the
rear
of
the
BladeCenter
T
unit
(see
“Configuring
the
external
Ethernet
port”
on
page
28
for
instructions).
The
initial
management
module
autoconfiguration
enables
the
network
management
station
to
connect
to
the
management
module
to
configure
the
port
completely
and
to
configure
the
rest
of
the
BladeCenter
T
unit.
v
The
internal
Ethernet
port
on
the
management
module
for
communication
with
the
I/O
modules
(see
“Configuring
the
internal
Ethernet
port”
on
page
29
for
instructions).
v
The
management
port
on
each
switch
module
provides
for
communication
with
the
management
module.
You
configure
this
port
by
configuring
the
IP
address
for
the
switch
module
(see
“Configuring
management
ports
on
I/O
modules”
on
page
29
for
instructions).
Note:
Some
types
of
I/O
modules,
such
as
the
pass-thru
module,
have
no
management
port.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
I/O
module
to
determine
what
else
you
must
configure
in
the
I/O
module.
To
communicate
with
the
blade
servers
for
functions
such
as
deploying
an
operating
system
or
application
program
over
the
network,
you
must
also
configure
at
least
one
external
(in-band)
port
on
an
Ethernet
switch
module
in
I/O-module
bay
1
or
2.
See
“What
to
configure”
on
page
29
for
information
about
configuring
external
ports
on
Ethernet
switch
modules.
The
management
module
supports
the
following
Web
browsers
for
remote
access.
The
Web
browser
that
you
use
must
be
Java
™
-enabled,
must
support
JavaScript
™
1.2
or
later,
and
must
have
the
Java
Virtual
Machine
(JVM)
1.4.1
or
later
Plug-in
installed.
The
JVM
Plug-in
is
available
at
the
Java
Web
site
at
http://www.java.com/.
