Manager Parameters table. In this table, you can see the OFM overview displayed under these column headings: v Bay: The location of the blade. v Blade Name: The name of the blade at that bay location. v OFM Mode: Either enabled or disabled, as defined by the OFM configuration file. v Profile: As defined in the configuration file. v System Mgmt Processor OFM Capable: Displays Yes if the BMC (blade systems management processor) supports OFM and No otherwise. v BIOS OFM Capable: displays Yes if the blade BIOS supports OFM and No otherwise. Note: This value is accurate only after the blade boots for the first time after updating the BIOS firmware. v OFM status: If the BMC (blade systems management processor) is OFM-capable and the blade BIOS is OFM-capable, the status will be N/A (Not Applicable), until the blade is powered on for the first time after the OFM configuration has been enabled. The status (after blade BIOS boot is completed) can then be: Normal, Error or Warning. If this blade OFM mode is disabled or one of the above OFM capabilities is missing, then the status will stay N/A even after power on of the blade 3. If you click on a Blade Name, you can see the detailed OFM configuration page for that slot as was defined in the OFM configuration file. The Configuration page is divided into sections of device address type: Ethernet, FC or FC target. In addition, this page displays information about whether devices (attached to this slot) support OFM and if any address type and value was consumed by any of the slot attached devices. If a OFM address was consumed, then the Address Status column will say Used or Error , otherwise it will say Not Used. The Configuration page optionally displays a table of non-OFM devices, provided there are such devices attached to this blade. This table has 3 columns: Slot offset, Port, and Address Status. If such a device (characterized by ) is referred to in the OFM configuration file under this blade, the Address Status column will be flagged as Warning. Otherwise it will be flagged as N/A. In general, the addresses that you see on the AMM Hardware VPD page are the current actual addresses. After a change to the OFM configuration, the addresses will not be updated until the next power on of the blade. To see the new addresses you must click Reload MAC. Retrieving the current configuration You can retrieve the current OFM configuration by selecting Retrieve the Current Configuration on the main Open Fabric Manager page. 1. Login to the AMM Web interface. 2. In the left pane, under Blade Tasks, click Open Fabric Manager. The Open Fabric Manager Configuration Management page will open in the right pane. 3. Click Retrieve the Current Configuration. The Retrieve Current Configuration page will open in the right pane. Chapter 4. Configuring 21

processor)
supports
OFM
and
No
otherwise.
v
BIOS
OFM
Capable:
displays
Yes
if
the
blade
BIOS
supports
OFM
and
No
otherwise.
Note:
This
value
is
accurate
only
after
the

boots
for
the
first
time
after
updating
the

firmware.
v
OFM
status:
If
the
BMC
(blade
systems
management
processor)
is
OFM-capable
and
the
blade
BIOS
is
OFM-capable,
the
status
will
be
N/A
(Not
Applicable),
until
the
blade
is
powered
on
for
the
first
time
after
the

has
been
enabled.
The
status
(after
blade
BIOS
boot
is
completed)
can
then
be:
Normal
,
Error
or

.
If
this
blade
OFM
mode
is
disabled
or
one
of
the
above
OFM
capabilities
is
missing,
then
the
status
will
stay

If
you
click
on
a
Blade
Name,
you
can
see
the
detailed
OFM
configuration
page
for
that
slot
as
was
defined
in
the
OFM
configuration
file.
The
Configuration
page
is
divided
into
sections
of
device
address
type:
Ethernet
,
FC
or
FC
target
.
In
addition,
this
page
displays
information
about
whether
devices
(attached
to
this
slot)
support
OFM
and
if
any
address
type
and
value
was
consumed
by
any
of
the
slot
attached
devices.
If
a
OFM
address
was
consumed,
then
the
Address
Status
column
will
say
Used
or
Error
,
otherwise
it
will
say
Not
Used
.
The
Configuration
page
optionally
displays
a
table
of
non-OFM
devices,
provided
there
are
such
devices
attached
to
this
blade.
This
table
has
3
columns:
Slot
offset
,
Port
,
and
Address
Status
.
If
such
a
device
(characterized
by
<Slot-offset
,
Port>)
is
referred
to
in
the
OFM
configuration
file
under
this
blade,
the
Address
Status
column
will
be
flagged
as
Warning
.
Otherwise
it
will
be
flagged
as
