Assigning device types

The appliance automatically discovers ServSwitch Multi Z8s that are attached to it and will automatically assign the number of ports (eight) to that switch. You will see an Sw-8 appear in the Type category. When you select that switch from the list, the Modify button appears, but do not click it: at the time of this writing, the KV158A 2x8 ServSwitch Multi Z8 is the only available cascade switch; do not attempt to select or add other switch types, or specify a different number of ports.

To access the Devices dialog box:

1.Press Print Screen. The Main dialog box will appear.

When the ServSelect IP appliance discovers a ServSwitch Multi Z8, you will notice the port numbering change to accommodate each server under that switch. For example, if the switch is connected to ARI port 6, the switch port would be listed as 06 and each server under it would be numbered sequentially 06-01, 06-02 and so on.
