Figure 10: Onboard Administrator Window showing Device Bay 7 Port Mapping
From the Port Mapping view, the embedded network ports, FC HBA ports from Mezzanine Slot 1 and Ethernet ports from Mezzanine Slot 2 are shown mapped to their respective interconnect bay ports. Note in this example configuration, ports 3 and 4 of the
To utilize the redundant components available for the server blade in this configuration example, a Virtual Connect server profile has been created as shown in figure 11. The server profile has been configured to use LOM port 1 for the primary site LAN and LOM port 4 for the private Serviceguard heartbeat LAN, with are assigned to interconnect bays 1 and 2, respectively. Note that LOM ports 2 and 3 were not used in this case because the standby site and secondary heartbeat LAN connections have been configured to use the Ethernet ports on the Mezzanine Card Slot 2, which are assigned to interconnect bays 5 and 6. If no additional Ethernet Mezzanine cards were available, all 4 internal ports could have been used to achieve a redundant network configuration by using ports 1 and 4 as the primary/standby pair for the site network and ports 2 and 3 as primary/standby pair for the Serviceguard heartbeat network. This configuration now provides Ethernet hardware redundancy for both the site and Serviceguard heartbeat LANs. In the event of either a LOM, Ethernet Mezzanine card, or interconnect module failure, Serviceguard can recover from the failure by performing a local LAN failover.
Since this configuration only has one
