Chapter 3. Configuring the blade server
Use this information for details about the configuration requirements of the blade
server.
This chapter describes the configuration requirements of the blade server. Before
you continue, make sure that the blade server has the latest version of firmware
code. For additional information, see “Firmware updates” on page 33.
The following configuration programs come with the blade server:
v
Setup utility
The Setup utility is used to change system settings, such as interrupt requests
(IRQ), date and time, and password. See “Using the Setup utility” on page 20 for
more information.
v
LSI Logic Configuration Utility program
The LSI Logic Configuration Utility program is stored in the blade-server
firmware. Use it to set the device scan order and to set the storage drive
controller IDs. See “Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program” on page
36 for more information.
v
IBM FastSetup
IBM FastSetup is a no-cost software tool that helps simplify the maintenance and
deployment of selected IBM BladeCenter chassis, servers, and components. The
intuitive graphical interface initializes all phases of server setup, including
discovery, update, and configuration. Features include templates that enable
replication of settings to many servers and automation that reduces hands-on
time and user errors. Wizards and other default settings enable customization
capabilities. The low-touch, set-once and walk-away feature reduces the
hands-on server setup time from days to minutes, particularly for larger
deployments. For information about this tool, see http://www.ibm.com/
support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=TOOL-FASTSET .
v
IBM
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD
The ServerGuide program provides software-setup tools and installation tools
that are designed for the blade server. Use this CD during the installation of the
blade server to configure basic hardware features and to simplify the installation
of the operating system. For information about obtaining and using this CD, see
“Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page 29.
v
Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot agent utility program
The PXE boot agent utility program is part of the blade server firmware. Use it
to select the boot protocol and other boot options and to select a
power-management option. For information about using this utility program, see
“Using the PXE boot agent utility program” on page 33.
The IBM Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) Version 4.4 program is available for
purchase. You can use RDM to install a UEFI code update onto a blade server. For
the latest information about RDM, including which operating systems that RDM
supports and how to purchase the software, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/
management/.
