Page 43: Chapter 1 About The Server Switch Module
Server Switch Modules to your BladeCenter chassis and add HCA expansion cards to your BladeCenter hosts, your hosts can communicate to one another over IB within the chassis. When you connect the Server Switch Module to an outside IB fabric, BladeCenter hosts can communicate with all nodes that connect to the IB network. -
Page 44: Server Switch Module And Hca Expansion Cards
Cisco 4x InfiniBand Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter Each Server Switch Module includes 16 4x ports to the backplane and 8 4x ports (in the form of 2 4x connectors and 2 12x connectors) on the front panel. The Server Switch Module provides full non-blocking switching for all 24 ports. -
Page 45: Topologies
With the Server Switch Module and HCA expansion cards, you can create a non-redundant, single-switch topology or a redundant, dual-switch topology. There are four I/O module bays in the switch, labelled 7-10. Bay 7 is for the first InfiniBand interface, Note and bay 9 is for the second InfiniBand interface. -

Step 5 A heading appears, where X is the number of the slot. Step 6 Enter an IP address for the Server Switch Module in the IP address field of the New Static IP Configuration section. Note The IP address of the Server Switch Module must fall in the same subnet as the modules in the other slots. -
Page 51: Changing The Default Password
Chapter 2 Installing and Configuring the Server Switch Open a Telnet session to the Server Switch Module with the IP address that you configured in Step 9 Log in to your Server Switch Module, and then proceed to your Server Switch Module. Log in with the default user name of USERID and password of PASSW0RD, where the 0 in PASSW0RD is a zero. - Page 52 The example that follows sets the date to 1:45 am on June 3rd, 2004: Cisco BladeCenterH# clock set 01:45:00 03 06 04 To configure primary, secondary, and tertiary NTP servers to synchronize the Server Switch with the network, follow these steps: Step 1 Switch to Privileged Exec mode by entering the enable command.
