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
