Supplemental Information
This section provides additional information about configuring and operating the GbESM and
BLADEOS.
Management Module
The “Fast POST=Disabled/Enabled” inside the IBM management module Web interface “I/O
Module Admin Power/Restart” does not apply to the GbESM.
Solution: To boot with Fast or Extended POST, go to the “I/O Module Admin/Power/Restart”
window. Select the GbESM, and then choose “Restart Module and Run Standard Diagnostics”
or “Restart Module and Run Extended Diagnostics.”
The following table correlates the Firmware Type listed in the IBM management module’s Web
interface “Firmware VPD” window to the GbESM software version:
Within the IBM management module Web interface, the Java applets of “Start Telnet Session”
and “Start Web Session” do not support changing of default known ports 23 and 80
respectively.
Solution: If the Telnet or HTTP port on the GbESM is changed to something other than the
default port number, the user must use a separate Telnet client or Web browser that supports
specifying a non-default port to start a session to the GbESM user interface.
