1Even though this constellation is possible, it does not make sense because only the first port can be used from the IBP module in bay 1, 3, 5 or 7.

Operation in Open Fabric mode

Open Fabric mode refers to the use of non-VIOM-capable LAN modules together with the Virtual-IO Manager. In this case, you can only work with vir- tual I/O parameters, and not with dedicated network connections.

Therefore, if you do not want to use any routing, all combinations are possible even with non-VIOM-capable I/O connection blades. You must take the fol- lowing into account:

•You cannot mix LAN and IBP modules within a fabric.

•You can only assign profiles if no networks are defined for their ports.

You can force the assignment of a profile with network def- initions by selecting the Ignore ext. LAN connections option in the profile selection dialog box or by answering the sub- sequent query accordingly. In doing so, however, the network definitions are ignored.

•You can operate LAN models of different sizes within a fabric, although you cannot use all download links from the larger model.
