– Each switch module
– Each processor blade (blade server)
v You have obtained a gateway IP address and subnet mask (if needed).
Follow these steps to deploy and configure your BladeCenter unit using IBM
Director (but without a DHCP server):
1. Plug in the Blade Server and check the LED status.
2. From IBM Director, set Chassis Association and select the Chassis & Chassis
Members group view.
3. Initiate chassis discovery. The BladeCenter managed object appears on the IBM
Director console.
4. Right-click the BladeCenter managed object and select Request access.
5. Enter a valid user ID and password for the management module. The default
user ID is USERID and the default password is PASSW0RD (numeric 0 and not
uppercase O).
6. The BladeCenter managed object and the associated processor blades appear
on the IBM Director console.
7. Verify that the processor blade object matches the actual blade.
Note: Turn on the BladeCenter BlueLight to identify the BladeCenter unit you
are managing.
8. Configure the BladeCenter management module. Select the MPA ServerBlade
management task and drag-and-drop the task on the BladeCenter managed
object.
9. Configure the management module.
a. Enter a static IP address for NIC 1 if desired.
b. Enter a static IP address for NIC 2 (in same subnet as NIC 1). When
prompted to reboot the management module, click Yes.
10. After the management module has rebooted, complete the configuration of the
management module.
Note: Changes you make during configuration, such as changing the
management module name, will not automatically appear on the IBM
Director console.
11. Change the user ID and password for the management module.
12. Set the BladeCenter policies. Because you are managing the BladeCenter
from IBM Director, you should disable local power control, local
keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switching, and local USB media switching.
13. Configure each switch in the chassis, which you can perform from the
ServerBlade Management task.
a. Set the IP address, subnet mask, and hostname (if applicable).
Note: You must make sure that the IP address used for the switch is on
the same subnet as the external IP address for the management
module if you intend to manage the switch through the management
module.
b. Click the button to launch a Web browser to start the embedded switch
configuration task. You must have IP connectivity between the console and
the switch.
c. Make sure you enable SNMP trap forwarding to the IP address of the IBM
Director server.
