addresses. Selecting User Defined will allow you to edit the Fibre Channel
address range to any range of your choosing. Click Next.
10. On the Boot Settings page, enter the storage target's WWPNs in the SAN
WWPN boxes. You can enter a primary and secondary storage target. In the
Blade LUN boxes enter the appropriate LUN assigned to the blade. This will
be the LUN that the blade will be booting from so it will need to have an
operating system installed. Click Next.
11. On the Advance Options page, select the check boxes to ignore three different
types of errors when the profile is applied. The types of errors are:
a. Ignore duplicate virtual addresses in the configuration file. When this
box is checked the software will not return an error when a profile is
applied to a domain of blades and that profile contains duplicate
addresses.
b. Force the configuration to be applied to powered on blades. Check this
box if you have blades in your domain that are currently powered on and
you are changing their addresses. The new addresses will not be active
until the next time that the blade is powered on. If this box is unchecked,
then the profile will fail when applied if there are blades in the domain
which are currently powered on.
c. Continue to apply the configuration file to the rest of the blade slots
after an error is received. When this box is checked, the software will
ignore various errors, such as the inability to log into another chassis, and
will continue to apply addresses to blades and chassis that are accessible.
12. Click Next.
13. On the Manual Override page, you can view and modify any and all of the
addresses that were assigned to a particular blade. To edit the settings of a
particular blade you will need to select a chassis and a blade then edit the
address settings. The following steps will guide you through this process:
a. Select a chassis in the Select Chassis box by clicking on the IP address of
the chassis.
b. Select a slot to edit in the Select Slot box by clicking on the slot number.
c. Under the Select Chassis box there is a selection box with Enable Slot,
Disable Slotand Ignore Slot selections. Selecting Enable Slot will assign
addresses to the blade connect to that slot. Selecting Disable Slot removes
any addresses assigned to that slot and any blade connected to that slot
will revert to their physical addresses. Selecting Ignore Slot will leave the
addresses in their previous settings. The addresses will remain either
virtual or physical when this profile is applied. The Ignore Slot setting is
useful when two profiles are created for a single chassis such as when both
Emulex and Qlogic adapter cards are in the same chassis.
d. For Ethernet Settings, the check box under Enable will enable the
virtualization of the MAC addresses when the box is checked. Use buttons
- Add Ethernet Port and Delete Ethernet Port - at the bottom of the box to
add or remove an entry to the table. Double-click to edit an entry. This
section also allows for the configuration of VLANs for the Ethernet ports.
These VLAN settings are used during pre-booting to an operating system,
such as when the blades are booting through PXE.
e. This Fibre Channel Settings section works just like the Ethernet settings
box except that the buttons are labeled Add FC Port and Delete FC Port.
Double-click to edit an entry. Checking the check box under Enable will
ensure that virtual Fibre Channel addresses are generated.
f. For Boot Settings, use the Add Boot Setting and Delete Boot Setting
buttons to add and delete boot entries for the selected chassis and slot. The
