Type (required) Always contains the value slot. Any combination of upper and lowercase is acceptable. Slot (required) Indicates which BladeCenter slot you are referring to. This is a numeric value from 1 to 14. For a given type of BladeCenter the actual number of slots may be less than 14. Mode (optional) Can be one of three values: enable, disable or ignore. v enable means that the AMM will push the OFM configuration to the blade. v disable means that the AMM will clear the OFM configuration on the blade, so the blade goes to factory addresses. v ignore means that the OFM configuration of this slot is unchanged by the configuration file. The default value is disable. Profile (optional) This is a string value of up to 31 characters. You can use it to attach a human-friendly string to a particular blade. When you generate the configuration file, the system creates a value based on the cardinal position of the BladeCenter in the file and the slot number. You can edit this value at will, but care should be taken to stay within the 31 character limit. If you exceed this limit, the system truncates the string and issues a warning. If no profile is given, the system creates one based on the IP address. Restriction: Quotes (″) are not allowed. Commas can only be included if the string is quoted. Port section There are currently three types of port entries that the system understands: Ethernet, FibreChannel and FibreChannel Targets. The IP Address, Slot and Type parameters are common to all port types. IP Address (required) The IP Address can be any valid BladeCenter address in one of two formats: IPv4 or human-readable internet addresses. If no BladeCenter has previously been defined with that address, the system issues an Attempt to use a blade slot that has not yet been defined error. Slot (required) Which BladeCenter slot you are referring to. This is a numeric value from 1 to 14. For a given type of BladeCenter the actual number of slots may be less than 14. You can only define a port for a slot that has already been defined with a slot entry (see "Slot section" on page 44. Attempting to define a port for an undefined slot will result in an error. Offset (optional) This is a value between 0 and 3. For single-slot blades this value will always be 0. See "Mapping of devices to ports" on page 48 and "Multi-slot blades and the port offset parameter" on page 48 for more information. Type (required) This parameter defines which of the port types to use, and which fields are Chapter 7. Reference 45

Type
(required)
Always
contains
the
value
slot
.
Any
combination
of
upper
and
lowercase
is
acceptable.
Slot
(required)
Indicates
which
BladeCenter
slot
you
are
referring
to.
This
is
a
numeric
value
from
1
to
14.
For
a
given
type
of
BladeCenter
the
actual
number
of
slots
may
be
less
than
14.
Mode
(optional)
Can
be
one
of
three
values:
enable
,
disable
or
ignore
.
v
enable
means
that
the
AMM
will
push
the
OFM
configuration
to
the
blade.
v
disable
means
that
the
AMM
will
clear
the
OFM
configuration
on
the
blade,
so
the
blade
goes
to
factory
addresses.
v
ignore
means
that
the
OFM
configuration
of
this
slot
is
unchanged
by
the
configuration
file.
The
default
value
is
disable
.
Profile
(optional)
This
is
a
string
value
of
up
to
31
characters.
You
can
use
it
to
attach
a
human-friendly
string
to
a
particular
blade.
When
you
generate
the
configuration
file,
the
system
creates
a
value
based
on
the
cardinal
position
of
the
BladeCenter
in
the
file
and
the
slot
number.
You
can
edit
this
value
at
will,
but
care
should
be
taken
to
stay
within
the
31
character
limit.
If
you
exceed
this
limit,
the
system
truncates
the
string
and
issues
a
warning.
If
no
profile
is
given,
the
system
creates
one
based
on
the
IP
address.
Restriction:
Quotes
(
)
are
not
allowed.
Commas
can
only
be
included
if
the
string
is
quoted.
Port
section
There
are
currently
three
types
of
port
entries
that
the
system
understands:
Ethernet
,
FibreChannel
and
FibreChannel
Targets
.
The
IP
Address,
Slot
and
Type
parameters
are
common
to
all
port
types.
IP
Address
(required)
The
IP
Address
can
be
any
valid
BladeCenter
address
in
one
of
two
formats:
IPv4
or
human-readable
internet
addresses.
If
no
BladeCenter
has
previously
been
defined
with
that
address,
the
system
issues
an
Attempt
to
use
a
blade
slot
that
has
not
yet
been
defined
error.
Slot
(required)
Which
BladeCenter
slot
you
are
referring
to.
This
is
a
numeric
value
from
1
to
14.
For
a
given
type
of
BladeCenter
the
actual
number
of
slots
may
be
less
than
14.
You
can
only
define
a
port
for
a
slot
that
has
already
been
defined
with
a
slot
entry
(see
“Slot
section”
on
page
44.
Attempting
to
define
a
port
for
an
undefined
slot
will
result
in
an
error.
Offset
(optional)
This
is
a
value
between
0
and
3.
For
single-slot
blades
this
value
will
always
be
0.
See
“Mapping
of
devices
to
ports”
on
page
48
and
“Multi-slot
blades
and
the
port
offset
parameter”
on
page
48
for
more
information.
Type
(required)
This
parameter
defines
which
of
the
port
types
to
use,
and
which
fields
are
Chapter
7.
