Web interface ( MM Control → Network Interfaces → External Network Interface (eth0) ). The default IP address is 192.168.70.125, the default subnet address is 255.255.255.0, and the default host name is MM xxxxxxxxxxxx , where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the burned-in medium access control (MAC) address.
For the IBM Director software to discover the BladeCenter unit, your network must initially provide connectivity from the IBM Director server to the BladeCenter management-module Ethernet port. T o establish connectivity , the management module attempts to use DHCP to acquire its initial IP address for the Ethernet port.
4. Shut down the blade server , insert a DOS startable diskette into the diskette drive, and then restart the blade server . 5. When the A: prompt appears, turn off the blade server using the power-control button. 6. Issue the W ake on LAN command (magic packet) from the remote computer .
The BladeCenter management and configuration window opens. Note: The upper left corner of the management and configuration window shows the location and identity of the active management module.
v If you plan to use redundant management modules and want both to use the same IP address, disable DHCP and configure and use the static IP address (the IP configuration information will be transferred to the redundant management module automatically when needed).
Using IBM Director The IBM Director program is a system-management product that comes with the BladeCenter unit. Through the remote connection on the management module, you can use the IBM Director software at the IBM Director console to configure the BladeCenter unit, modify the configuration, and set up more advanced features.
