Chapter 4. Configuring the management module The BladeCenter unit automatically detects the modules and blade servers that are installed and stores the vital product data (VPD). When the BladeCenter unit is started, the management module automatically configures the remote management port of the management module so that you can configure and manage BladeCenter unit components. You can configure and manage BladeCenter unit components from a remote location through the management-module Web interface or the management-module CLI. You can also configure and manage BladeCenter unit components through the local management-module serial port, using the CLI. You configure only the active management module. The standby management module, if present, receives the configuration and status information automatically from the active management module. If the management module that you installed is a replacement for the only management module in the BladeCenter unit and you saved the configuration file before you replaced the management module, you can apply the saved configuration file to the replacement management module by using the management-module Web interface or the management-module CLI. See the management-module User's Guide or the Command-Line Interface Reference Guide for instructions. Note: There are two ways to configure the I/O modules: through the management-module Web interface or through an external I/O-module port that is enabled through the management module, using a Telnet interface or a Web browser. See the documentation that comes with each I/O module for information. After the management module is installed, you must configure a remote connection and remote access or a local connection. You also can use the management-module Web interface or management-module CLI to view some of the blade-server configuration settings. All management modules are preconfigured with the same static IP address. You can assign a new static IP address for each BladeCenter unit. If DHCP is not used and you do not assign a new static IP address for each BladeCenter unit before you attempt to communicate with a management-module interface, only one BladeCenter unit at a time can be added onto the network for discovery. Adding multiple units to the network without a unique IP address assignment for each BladeCenter unit results in IP address conflicts. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2011 25
