Blade
server
Ethernet
controller
enumeration
The
enumeration
of
the
Ethernet
controllers
or
controller
ports
in
a
blade
server
is
operating-system
dependent.
You
can
verify
the
Ethernet
controller
or
controller
port
designations
that
a
blade
server
uses
through
your
operating-system
settings.
The
routing
of
an
Ethernet
controller
or
controller
port
to
a
particular
BladeCenter
unit
I/O
bay
depends
on
the
type
of
Ethernet
expansion
card
that
is
installed.
You
can
verify
which
Ethernet-controller
port
in
this
blade
server
is
routed
to
which
I/O
bay
by
using
the
following
test:
1.
Install
only
one
Ethernet
switch
module
or
pass-thru
module,
in
I/O
bay
1.
2.
Make
sure
that
the
ports
on
the
switch
module
or
pass-thru
module
are
enabled
(
I/O
Module
Tasks
→
Management
→
Advanced
Management
in
the
BladeCenter
management-module
Web
interface).
3.
Enable
only
one
of
the
Ethernet-controller
ports
on
the
blade
server.
Note
the
designation
that
the
blade
server
operating
system
has
for
the
controller
port.
4.
Ping
an
external
computer
on
the
network
connected
to
the
Ethernet
switch
module.
If
you
can
ping
the
external
computer,
the
Ethernet-controller
port
that
you
enabled
is
associated
with
the
switch
module
in
I/O
bay
1.
The
other
Ethernet-controller
port
in
the
blade
server
is
associated
with
the
switch
module
in
I/O
bay
2.
Communications
from
optional
Ethernet
adapters
and
other
I/O
expansion
cards
are
routed
to
I/O
bays
3
and
4.
You
can
verify
which
controller
port
on
an
expansion
card
is
routed
to
which
I/O
bay
by
performing
the
same
test,
using
a
controller
on
the
expansion
card
and
a
compatible
switch
module
or
pass-thru
module
in
I/O
bay
3
or
4:
v
If
you
have
removed
an
Ethernet
adapter
from
the
blade
server
and
installed
a
different
Ethernet
adapter.
v
If
you
have
installed
an
I/O
expansion
card
on
the
blade
server.
Configuring
the
blade
server
for
Fibre
Channel
boot
If
you
plan
to
set
up
your
system
configuration
for
remote
startup
(boot)
operations
through
Fibre
Channel
switch
modules,
you
must
configure
the
blade
server
for
Fibre
Channel
boot.
Note:
The
IBM
BladeCenter
JS20
Fibre
Channel
Expansion
Card
(part
number
73P6112)
must
be
installed
in
the
blade
server.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
configure
the
blade
server
for
Fibre
Channel
boot:
1.
From
the
management-module
Web
interface,
set
the
startup
(boot)
sequence
for
the
blade
server
to
Hard
drive
2
.
2.
Turn
on
the
blade
server
and
establish
a
Serial
Over
LAN
(SOL)
session
with
the
blade
server.
(See
the
BladeCenter
and
BladeCenter
T
Serial
Over
LAN
Setup
Guide
for
instructions.)
3.
Observe
the
progress
codes
on
the
console.
When
D5BB
appears,
immediately
press
the
8
key.
The
open
firmware
prompt
(>)
appears.
4.
At
the
open
firmware
prompt,
enter
the
following
commands:
dev
/packages/gui
setup-fcp-disk
The
open
firmware
Main
Menu
appears.
