Chapter
2.
Configuring
the
management
module
and
BladeCenter
unit
Important:
You
configure
only
the
primary
(active)
management
module.
The
secondary
management
module
receives
the
configuration
and
status
information
automatically
from
the
primary
management
module
when
necessary.
The
configuration
information
in
this
chapter
applies
to
the
primary
management
module,
which
might
be
the
only
management
module
installed
in
the
BladeCenter
unit.
When
the
BladeCenter
unit
is
started
initially,
it
automatically
configures
the
remote
management
port
on
the
active
(primary)
management
module,
so
that
you
can
configure
and
manage
BladeCenter
components.
You
configure
and
manage
BladeCenter
components
remotely
using
the
management-module
Web
interface
or
the
management-module
command-line
interface.
Note:
You
can
also
configure
the
I/O
modules
directly
through
an
external
I/O
module
port,
using
a
Telnet
interface
or
a
Web
browser.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each
I/O
module
for
information.
For
the
management
module
to
communicate
with
the
I/O
modules
in
the
BladeCenter
unit,
you
will
need
to
configure
the
IP
addresses
for
the
following
internal
and
external
ports:
v
The
IP
address
for
the
external
Ethernet
(remote
management)
port
on
the
management
module
(see
the
information
beginning
on
page
for
instructions).
The
initial
automatic
configuration
of
the
management
module
enables
the
network
management
station
to
connect
to
the
management
module
to
configure
the
port
completely
and
to
configure
the
rest
of
the
BladeCenter
unit.
v
The
IP
address
for
the
internal
Ethernet
port
on
the
management
module
(see
the
information
beginning
on
page
for
instructions)
to
support
communication
with
the
I/O
modules.
v
The
IP
address
for
the
management
port
on
each
I/O
module
(see
the
information
beginning
on
page
for
instructions)
for
communication
with
the
management
module.
You
configure
this
port
by
configuring
the
IP
address
for
the
I/O
module.
Note:
Some
types
of
I/O
modules,
such
as
a
pass-thru
module,
have
no
management
port.
To
communicate
with
the
blade
servers
for
functions
such
as
deploying
an
operating
system
or
application
program,
you
also
will
need
to
configure
at
least
one
external
(in-band)
port
on
an
Ethernet
I/O
module
installed
in
I/O
module
bay
1
or
2.
See
the
Installation
and
User’s
Guide
for
your
BladeCenter
unit
for
general
information
about
configuring
the
external
ports
on
Ethernet
I/O
modules.
Note:
If
a
pass-thru
module
is
installed
in
I/O-module
bay
1
or
2
(instead
of
an
Ethernet
I/O
module),
you
will
need
to
configure
the
network
switch
that
the
pass-thru
module
is
connected
to;
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
network
switch
for
instructions.
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
1.4.1
Plug-In
installed.

Microsoft

installed),
