IBM BladeCenter Management Module, Руководство по установке, Страница: 35 / 82

Chapter 4. Configuring the management module
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.
If the management module that you installed is a replacement for
the only management module in the BladeCenter unit, and you
saved the configuration file before replacing the management
module, you can apply the saved configuration file to the
replacement management module using the management module
Web interface. See “Restoring a saved configuration file” on page
32 for information about applying a saved configuration file.
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 “Configuring
the ports” on page 30 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 “Configuring the ports” on page 30
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 BladeCenter Management Module User’s Guide
for instructions) for communication with the management module. You
configure this port by configuring the IP address for the I/O module.
