4 Configuration
find a detailed description on the interfaces in the ServerView Management
Blade manual for BX600.
Check the following settings in the management blade:
l
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 man-
agement blade. To do this, choose
(1) Management Agent – (2) Man-
agement Blade
. The
Management Blade Firmware Version
parameter displays the installed firmware version. You can also check
the version via the Web interface.
If your firmware version is lower than the version required, you must
update it to the required firmware version before you activate VIOM man-
agement for the blade server. You can run an update via the Remote
Manager of the management blade. For a MMB S3, choose
(4) TFTP
update – (6) Management Blade Update Enable
.
After selecting
(5) TFTP Update in (4) Management Blade Image File
Name
, you first specify the name of the firmware file with the new firm-
ware version.
l
You must configure the management blade and connect it to the local net-
work so that it can be accessed from the central management station on
which the ServerView Operations Manager and VIOM are installed.
l
Access to the management blade via Telnet or SSH is essential for
VIOM. You must configure the management blade via its Web interface.
To do this, choose
Chassis Settings – Network Interface – Telnet
or
Chassis Settings – Network Interface – SSH
.
l
Ensure that the
Automatic Inventory Retrieval
parameter is set to
automatic
. Then the management blade automatically generates the
inventory information required by VIOM when the server blade is insert-
ed.
VIOM needs this inventory information specifically for the
server blades that support the I/O virtualization.
