Creating a blade address profile You can create a blade address profile using IBM Director. 1. From the IBM Director Console select: Tasks → BladeCenter Management → BladeCenter Configuration Manager → Open. 2. A Quick Start window will launch. Select Create a new profile. a. On the Profile Parameters window, specify a type for the new profile in the Select a type for the new profile field and a name for the new profile in the Enter a name for the new profile field. b. Click OK. 3. On the Select components window, click the box next to BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager - Blade Address Configuration. Click OK. 4. In the Configuration Manager Editor window, expand the hierarchy in the right-hand pane to click BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager - Blade Address Configuration. 5. On the Members page, select the BladeCenter chassis that will participate in the domain by clicking on the chassis in the Available Chassis box. Click Add to move the selected chassis to the Domain Members box. Chassis not listed in the Available Chassis box can be added to the domain by clicking the IP Address button and entering the IP address of the chassis. Click Next. 6. On the Enable page, select a chassis from the Domain Members box and click the Disable / Enable button to disable or enable the blade address configuration for the selected chassis. Click Next. 7. On the Address Pool page, adjust the slider to represent the Maximum Chassis In Domain. The software will pre-allocate address space for the maximum number of chassis chosen to ensure that there will be no address duplications in any of the profiles. 8. To assign Ethernet MAC addresses to slots, click the Automatically Assign Addresses check box next to the Ethernet MAC address type. Select IBM in the Vendor dropdown list to allow the software to automatically assign addresses. Selecting User Defined in the Vendor dropdown list will allow you to edit the MAC address range to any range of your choosing. v Some Ethernet expansion cards can have a range of MAC addresses per port. The range is defined by specifying two MAC addresses per port: MAC A and MAC B. For example, the JS22 and JS12 onboard HEA Ethernet adapter must use the default values shown below. To set up a range of MAC addresses for a port, click Advanced option, then click Generate range of MAC addresses per port. You will then be able to define the following values: - List of ports to apply to (1-8 consecutive numbers): The default value is 1. - Range size: Enter a range size between 2 and 256. The default value is 16. - Ethernet VLAN for the second MAC address: The default is 0. Note: The above default values will allow the JS22/JS12 onboard HEA Ethernet adapter to use virtual addresses. Even though the 16 MAC range for the onboard HEA adapter is declared via port 1, the actual routing of the 16 MACs is determined by configuration in the OS. 9. To assign Fibre Channel WWN addresses to slots, click the Automatically Assign Addresses check box next to the Fibre Channel (FC) section. For Vendor select either Qlogic or Emulex, depending on the type of fibre channel cards in your environment, to allow the software to automatically assign 26 IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager Installation and User's Guide

To
assign
Ethernet
MAC
addresses
to
slots,
click
the
Automatically
Assign
Addresses
check
box
next
to
the
Ethernet
MAC
address
type
.
Select
IBM
in
the
Vendor
dropdown
list
to

addresses.
Selecting
User
Defined
in
the
Vendor
dropdown
list
will
allow
you
to
edit
the
MAC
address
range
to
any
range
of
your
choosing.
v
Some
Ethernet
expansion
cards
can
have
a
range
of
MAC
addresses
per
port.
The
range
is
defined
by
specifying
two
MAC
addresses
per
port:
MAC
A
and
MAC
B.
For
example,
the
JS22
and
JS12
onboard
HEA
Ethernet
adapter
must
use
the
default
values
shown
below.
To
set
up
a
range
of
MAC
addresses
for
a
port,
click
Advanced
option
,
then
click
Generate
range
of
MAC
addresses
per
port
.
You
will
then
be
able
to
define
the
following
values:
–
List
of
ports
to
apply
to
(1-8
consecutive
numbers)
:
The
default
value
is
1.
–
Range
size:
Enter
a
range
size
between
2
and
256.
The
default
value
is
16.
–
Ethernet
VLAN
for
the
second
MAC
address:
The
default
is
0.
Note:
The
above
default
values
will
allow
the
JS22/JS12
onboard
HEA
Ethernet
adapter
to
use
virtual
addresses.
Even
though
the
16
MAC
range
for
the
onboard
HEA
adapter
is
declared
via
port
1,
the
actual
routing
of
the
16
MACs
is
determined
by
configuration
in
the
OS.
