Assigning Device Types - IBM 1735R16 Installer And User Manual

Assigning device types

While the RCM automatically discovers cascade switches attached to your unit,
you will need to specify the number of ports on the cascade switch through the
Devices dialog box. The RCM recognizes KVM switches. You will see an Sw-8
appear in the Type category. When you select that switch from the list, the Modify
button appears, allowing you to assign the appropriate number of ports to it.
To access the Devices dialog box:
1. Press Print Screen. The Main dialog box will appear.
2. Click Setup - Devices. The Devices dialog box appears.
NOTE: The Modify button will only be available if a confi gurable switch is selected.
Figure 3.5: Devices Dialog Box
When the RCM discovers a cascade switch, you will notice the port numbering
change to accommodate each server under that switch. For example, if the
switch is connected to port 1, the switch port would be listed as 01 and each
server under it would be numbered sequentially 01-01, 01-02 and so on.
To assign a device type:
1. In the Devices dialog box, select the desired port number.
2. Click Modify. The Device Modify dialog box appears.
