Fujitsu V3.1 manual

7 Managing servers with VIOM

1.The chassis is indicated as "managed". This happens, on the one hand, in the VIOM database. However, information is also defined in the man- agement blade of the chassis that this chassis is managed by this instal- lation of the Virtual-IO Manager.

This information in the management blade is always checked before a chassis is added in the VIOM management. If VIOM can recognize from this that a chassis is already managed by another Virtual-IO Manager, you receive a corresponding warn- ing. If, however, you are sure that a chassis is no longer man- aged by another VIOM installation, you can still add the chassis to the management despite the warning.

2.All IBP modules in this chassis are set to an initial state that has the fol- lowing properties:

•The downlink ports of an IBP module no longer have a connection. This means that the server blades are not connected to each other or to an external network.

•Except for the first uplink port, no uplink port, in other words, none of the other external ports, has an external connection.

In the case of the LAN connection blades of the BX400/BX900 (cur- rently PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2, PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12, PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6, and PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10 Gb 18/8), which support an IBP mode, no external port (not even the first uplink port) has an external connection.

The figures below show the standard configuration of the IBP mod- ule before activating and the initial configuration after activating VIOM management (Manage button).
