4.3Configurations on the managed BX900 Blade Server

4.3.1.2Fibre Channel hardware configuration

You can install the Fibre Channel switch blades in fabric 2 or fabric 3. They can be operated in two different modes:

• in normal switch mode

• in Access Gateway mode

As a result, different combination options are possible. Fabric 2 and fabric 3 have identical configuration restrictions in relation to the Fibre Channel switch blades. The following table shows you which configurations are sup- ported in fabric 2 and fabric 3:

Bay 3 (Bay 5) Bay 4 (Bay 6)

Access Gateway mode Access Gateway mode (optional1) Standard switch mode Standard switch mode (optional1)

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

4.3.2 Configuring the BX900 management blade

The blade server must be fitted with at least one S1 management blade.

The management blade has two user-friendly user interfaces: a Web inter- face and a Remote Manager interface per Telnet or SSH protocol (a con- nection to the management blade is established per Telnet or SSH). You can find a detailed description on the interfaces in the ServerView Management Blade manual for BX900.

Check the following settings in the management blade:

•The management blade must be installed with a specific firmware ver- sion. To find out which firmware version you need, see the release notes included.You can check the firmware version in the Remote Manager of the management blade. To do this, choose (1) Management Agent –
