Fujitsu ServerView Virtual-IO Manager V3.1 User Manual page 29

For blade servers, management with VIOM essentially includes the following
functions:
Defining the network paths on the Intelligent Blade Panel (IBP module)
l
Defining the I/O parameters (including virtual addresses) of a server
l
blade
Saving the I/O parameters in combination with the required network
l
paths in server profiles
Assigning the server profiles to the server blades or to empty slots as
l
well as moving a server profile between any number of server blades
You can assign the server profiles to any number of different server blades of
a blade server or even to another blade server, provided that the required net-
work connections are available on the respective chassis.
For PRIMERGY rack servers, management with VIOM essentially includes
the following functions:
Defining the I/O parameters (including virtual addresses) of a PRIM-
l
ERGY rack server
Saving the I/O parameters in server profiles
l
Assigning the server profiles to a PRIMERGY rack server
l
Before you can execute the functions above, a blade server chassis or PRIM-
ERGY rack server must be managed by VIOM. You also do this using the
GUI of the Virtual-IO Manager (see chapter
on page 257).
Management using VIOM is divided into the following key steps:
1. Before VIOM can work with a blade server chassis or PRIMERGY rack
server it must be managed by VIOM.
2. For blade servers with IBP, you can define external network con-
nections.
3. You then define the corresponding profiles for all applications/images
and save them in the server profile repository on the central management
station.
