network, you will not be able to update the firmware or manage your Ethernet
I/O module through a Web interface.
v
Telnet sessions with the BladeCenter management module do not have a timeout
value set by default. If no timeout value is set, Telnet sessions will remain active
indefinitely. See the
BladeCenter Management Module Command-Line Interface
Reference Guide for information about configuring the Telnet session timeout
value for the management module.
v The SOL blade system management processor (BSMP) address range can include
any valid IP addresses that do not conflict with any of the IP addresses of the
blade servers. The BSMP address range is used for internal communication
between the blade server and the I/O module and is not exposed to the external
network.
Complete the following steps to update the management-module firmware and
configure the management module to enable SOL:
1. Start the BladeCenter management-module Web interface (see “Starting the
BladeCenter management-module Web interface” on page 5).
2. Complete the following steps to update the BladeCenter management module
firmware:
a. Download the latest management-module firmware from
http://www.ibm.com/support/.
b. Update the management-module firmware, following the instructions that
come with the update file that you downloaded.
3.
Start the BladeCenter management-module Web interface (see “Starting the
BladeCenter management-module Web interface” on page 5).
4. Complete the following steps to enable SOL for the management module:

your physical network. The values must be in the following formats:
v
IP address: x.x.x.x
v
Subnet mask: x.x.x.x
v
Gateway address: x.x.x.x
The static IP configuration values specify valid IP addresses of the form
x.x.x.x , where each x is a number from 0 to 255.
5) Click Save ; then, click OK or Yes to confirm. Do not restart the
management module.
b. Complete the following steps to configure the Ethernet I/O module
network settings:
Note:
If you are using management channel auto discovery (MCAD),
