known, the IBM Director software can automatically discover the BladeCenter
unit (out-of-band, using the Ethernet port on the management module) and
create a managed object for the unit.
For the IBM Director software to discover the BladeCenter unit, your network
must initially provide connectivity from the IBM Director management server
to the management-module Ethernet port. To establish connectivity, the
management module attempts to use DHCP to acquire its initial IP address for
the Ethernet port. If the DHCP request fails, the management module uses the
static IP address that is assigned to it. Therefore, the DHCP server (if used)
must be on the management LAN for your BladeCenter unit.
Note: For I/O module communication with the IBM Director management
server through the management-module external Ethernet port, the
I/O-module internal network interface and the management-module
external interfaces must be on the same subnet.
If you do not want to keep the factory-defined static values, you can configure
the static IP address, host name, and subnet mask for the management module
through the Web interface.
