Configuring IBM Boot Disk System as a SAS boot device
If you have installed the optional SAS expansion card on the blade server and one
or two IBM BladeCenter SAS Connectivity Modules on the BladeCenter unit, you
can attach supported storage to it and configure the storage accordingly. See the
documentation that comes with the SAS expansion card, the SAS connectivity
module and the SAS storage system for further information.
The QS22 blade server supports the IBM BladeCenter Boot Disk System as SAS
attached storage.
You must configure storage on your BladeCenter Boot Disk System before you can
use it as a SAS boot device. For the configuration you use a management station
that runs a Storage Manager. Use the Storage Manager for the operating system on
your management station:
Linux
Windows
For installation instructions, see the documentation that comes with your Storage
Manager.
The descriptions in this section are based on the System Storage DS3000 Storage
Manager. The Simplicity Storage Manager, might have a slightly different user
interface.
Figure 28 on page 57 shows a schematic setup with a network connection between
the workstation that runs the Storage Manager and the BladeCenter Boot Disk
System.

POWER-based system
connected to two Ethernet switches. As the blade center performs a network
boot from the controller that acquires the IP address, first make sure that
your Linux configuration supports this. If your Linux environment requires a
static IP address for a particular Ethernet port, you must set up your DHCP
environment accordingly.
