Planning and Preparation
Mapping the Switchbays
After installation of the Windows operating system on a blade you can fill-in
the switchbay mapping table for your particular configuration using the fol-
lowing procedure.
Note:
Do not perform PCI-to-Switchbay mappings when blades
within the chassis are operating within a production
environment.
On one of the CoServer blades right-click My Network Places to view
1.
the Network Connections dialog.
From the back of the BladeCenter cabinet select a switchbay and unplug
2.
it.
Return to the CoServer console and observe the Network Connections
3.
dialog and note which connection experiences a status change.
Right-click on the connection that changed status to display the Local
4.
Area Connection Properties.
Click the Configure button to display the controller properties. Note the
5.
switchbay number of the switch you unpluged and record the corre-
sponding PCI location information for that adapter in Table 4. Plug the
switchbay back into its slot and wait for the connection status to return to
normal.
Repeat this procedure for each configured ethernet switchbay until you

have identified all connections. Since these connections will hold for like
blade models this mapping will work for all other configured blades.
