novascale Blade BL465 - Installation and User's Guide
2.4 Scalability indicators
The BL465 blade server provides scalability indicators, which are viewable through the
front bezel of the blade server when it is installed in a Blade chassis. The scalability
indicators remain lit until the blade server is started.
The BL465 blade server can be deployed as a stand-alone blade server. It can also be
combined with another BL465 blade server to form a BL465 complex. When two BL465
blade servers are combined into a BL465 complex, you can specify that they operate as a
single hardware partition or operate in stand-alone mode.
The scalability indicators show whether a BL465 blade server is a stand-alone blade server
or a node in a BL465 complex operating as a single hardware partition.
When a BL465 blade server is a stand-alone blade server, the scalability indicators
continually move up and down the front of the bezel.
When a BL465 blade server is part of a BL465 complex operating in single partition
mode, the scalability indicators move up the first server, cross over to the second server,
and then move down the second blade server.
Note If you have set up a BL465 complex in single partition mode, but when you start the blade
servers, the scalability indicators for each node seem to be operating independently, there
might be a problem with the configuration of the BL465 complex.
