Switch-module problems
Updating the switch-module
configuration through the
switch does not save the
management-module
NVRAM.
If you log in to the Ethernet switch module directly (through the Ethernet
switch-module web interface or Telnet interface instead of through the management
module web interface) and update the switch module configuration, saving the new
configuration saves only to the switch NVRAM, not to the management-module
NVRAM. The management module will not be able to communicate with the switch
module.
In the management module web interface, in
Switch Tasks
→
Management
, change
the New Static IP Configuration values to match the ones in Current IP
Configuration, and apply the configuration.

You can configure the major and critical alarm LEDs to be either amber or
red through the management module.

the LEDs on the BladeCenter T unit and the
blade servers to isolate the component.

You can configure the major error LED
to be either red or amber through the
management module.
