BladeCenter section //BladeCenterIP ,Type, ,Mode bladecenter2.ibm.com ,BladeCenter ,apply The BladeCenter section contains three parameters: the IP address of the BladeCenter, the entity Type (BladeCenter) and the Mode. IP Address (required) The IP Address can be any valid BladeCenter address in one of two formats: v IPv4 dotted notation (192.168.0.1) v Human-readable Internet addresses (bladecenter2.ibm.com) Note: Fully-qualified hostname is required for this format as indicated above (.ibm.com is required). For larger sites, IBM strongly recommends using human-readable addresses only if the domain-name-server (DNS) is on the local network. If the DNS is not local, the lookup time can slow the parsing substantially, especially if there is an error and the name is not found. Type (required) The type is always BladeCenter. Any variation of upper and lowercase is acceptable. Mode (required) The mode is one of two options: apply or ignore. When ignore is selected, the system discards all slots and ports belonging to that BladeCenter. This allows an entire BladeCenter to be commented-out without the need to modify each individual line, and without regard for the ordering of the file. The BladeCenter section should always come before slots belonging to it, and only one BladeCenter section can exist for a particular BladeCenter. If no BladeCenter section exists, when a slot is defined, the system uses a reasonable default definition for the BladeCenter. The default definition is based on the IP address of the slot and its mode is apply. You can define up to 100 BladeCenters with their blades and ports in a single file. Slot section //BladeCenterIP ,Type ,Slot, ,Mode localhost ,slot ,1 ,enable ,Profile ,"TempProfile BC-1Slot-1" The slot section represents a single slot within a BladeCenter. Its association to the BladeCenter is through the IP address of the BladeCenter. A slot entry is required before any port entries can be defined for that slot. Failure to define a slot before using it for a port results in an error. You can only define a slot once. Multiple definitions result in errors. The slot section consists of five parameters: IP Address, Type, Slot, Mode and Profile. IP Address (required) The IP Address can be any valid BladeCenter address in one of two formats: IPv4 or human-readable internet addresses. If you have not previously defined a BladeCenter with that address, the system defines one using reasonable defaults. 44 IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager Installation and User's Guide

BladeCenter
section
//BladeCenterIP
,Type,
,Mode
bladecenter2.ibm.com
,BladeCenter
,apply
The
BladeCenter
section
contains
three
parameters:
the
IP
address
of
the
BladeCenter
,
the
entity
Type
(BladeCenter)
and
the
Mode
.
IP
Address
(required)
The
IP
Address
can
be
any
valid
BladeCenter
address
in
one
of
two
formats:
v
IPv4
dotted
notation
(
192.168.0.1
)
v
Human-readable
Internet
addresses
(
bladecenter2.ibm.com
)
Note:
Fully-qualified
hostname
is
required
for
this
format
as
indicated
above
(.ibm.com
is
required).
For
larger
sites,
IBM
strongly
recommends
using
human-readable
addresses
only
if
the
domain-name-server
(DNS)
is
on
the
local
network.
If
the
DNS
is
not
local,
the
lookup
time
can
slow
the
parsing
substantially,
especially
if
there
is
an
error
and
the
name
is
not
found.
Type
(required)
The
type
is
always
BladeCenter
.
Any
variation
of
upper
and
lowercase
is
acceptable.
Mode
(required)
The
mode
is
one
of
two
options:
apply
or
ignore
.
When
ignore
is
selected,
the
system
discards
all
slots
and
ports
belonging
to
that
BladeCenter.
This
allows
an
entire
BladeCenter
to
be
commented-out
without
the
need
to
modify
each
individual
line,
and
without
regard
for
the
ordering
of
the
file.
The
BladeCenter
section
should
always
come
before
slots
belonging
to
it,
and
only
one
BladeCenter
section
can
exist
for
a
particular
BladeCenter.
If
no
BladeCenter
section
exists,
when
a
slot
is
defined,
the
system
uses
a
reasonable
default
definition
for
the
BladeCenter.
The
default
definition
is
based
on
the
IP
address
of
the
slot
and
its
mode
is
apply
.
You
can
define
up
to
100
BladeCenters
with
their
blades
and
ports
in
a
single
file.
Slot
section
//BladeCenterIP
,Type
,Slot,
,Mode
,Profile
localhost
,slot
,1
,enable
,"TempProfile
BC-1Slot-1"
The
slot
section
represents
a
single
slot
within
a
BladeCenter.
Its
association
to
the
BladeCenter
is
through
the
IP
address
of
the
BladeCenter.
A
slot
entry
is
required
before
any
port
entries
can
be
defined
for
that
slot.
Failure
to
define
a
slot
before
using
it
for
a
port
results
in
an
error.
You
can
only
define
a
slot
once.
Multiple
definitions
result
in
errors.
The
slot
section
consists
of
five
parameters:
IP
Address
,
Type
,
Slot
,
Mode
and
Profile
.
IP
Address
(required)
The
IP
Address
can
be
any
valid
BladeCenter
address
in
one
of
two
formats:
IPv4
or
human-readable
internet
addresses.
If
you
have
not
previously
defined
a
BladeCenter
with
that
address,
the
system
defines
one
using
reasonable
defaults.
