CAUTION: If you wish to ignore the duplicated addresses and apply the configuration anyway, you can click the Ignore button. We strongly recommend you do not do this unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing. Duplicate address can cause serious problem on your network.

Creating a requirements report Before you apply the OFM configuration, IBM recommends that you create a requirements report. The requirements report verifies the firmware level of the blades BMC, BIOS and adapters. It also goes through a dry run of the first part of applying the OFM configuration and checks to see if there are potential problems. Creating a requirements report from ″The Configuration File Has Been Created″ page in the AMM Web interface 1. Follow the steps outlined in "Creating a configuration file automatically" on page 15. 2. On The Configuration File Has Been Created page, click creating a requirements report . Creating a requirements report from the main Open Fabric Manager Configuration Management page on the AMM Web interface 1. Login to the AMM Web interface. 2.

The Create a Requirements Report page will open in the right pane. 4. Click Browse to locate the configuration file for which you are creating the requirements report. This would typically be a configuration file you want to use to apply a new OFM configuration. 5. You can select Advanced Options to override certain checks. See "Applying a new configuration" on page 20 for more information. 6. After you locate the configuration file, click OK. If no parsing errors are found in the configuration file, the Requirements Report page will be displayed. For a description about how to read the requirements report, a list of typical requirements report errors, and how to take action on the errors, see "Error messages" on page 34. Editing the configuration file manually After the initial generation of the configuration file, you can edit it and make changes according to the specific needs of you environment. Chapter 4.
