Chapter 4. Configuring your BladeCenter unit
The BladeCenter unit automatically detects the modules and blade servers that are
installed and stores the vital product data (VPD) information. When the BladeCenter
unit is started, it automatically configures the remote management port on the
management module, so that you can configure and manage the BladeCenter unit
and blade servers. You configure and manage the BladeCenter unit remotely,
through the management module, using the Web-based user interface and the
HTTP.
Note: You can also configure the switch modules directly through an external
switch module port, using a telnet interface or a Web browser. See the
documentation that comes with the switch module for more information.
For the management module to communicate with the blade servers in the
BladeCenter unit, you will need to configure the IP addresses for the following
internal and external ports:
v
Remote management port (out-of-band) on the management module. The initial
autoconfiguration enables you to connect to the network management station in
order to configure the port completely and to configure the rest of the
BladeCenter unit.
v Internal Ethernet port on the management module for communication with the
Ethernet switch modules.
v One internal Ethernet port on each Ethernet switch module, for communication
with the management module.
To communicate with the blade servers for such functions as deploying an operating
system or application program, you also will need to configure at least one external
(in-band) port on an Ethernet switch module. See “What to configure” on page 55
for information about configuring external ports on Ethernet switch modules.
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 Plug-In installed.
v Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (with Service Pack 1), or later
v Netscape Navigator 4.72, or later (version 6.0 is not supported)
