Page 15: Introduction
When this Telnet command-line interface session is running, you can start a remote-console SOL session with any blade server in the SBCE unit that is set up and enabled for SOL operation. You can establish up to 20 separate Telnet sessions with the SBCE management module, so that you can have 14 simultaneous SOL sessions active (one for each of up to 14 blade servers) with six additional command-line interface sessions available for SBCE unit management. -
Page 16: Firmware Requirements
The Firmware VPD choice identifies the firmware type, build ID, release date, and revision number for the firmware that is installed in each blade server, I/O module, and management module in the SBCE unit. The vital product data (VPD) for the firmware in the management modules also includes the file name of the firmware components. -
