Configuring the BladeCenter S system

Configuring the BladeCenter S system involves performing all of the tasks that are necessary to set up a functioning BladeCenter S system on which you can begin to install applications.

Before you configure the BladeCenter S system, make sure that you have completed all installation activities.
  • Configuring I/O modules
    You must enable at least one external port on an Ethernet switch module in I/O module bay 1 to communicate with the Ethernet controllers that are integrated in each blade server.
  • Configuring blade servers
    Configuring a blade server involves setting up the SAS storage, installing the operating system, and updating the firmware.
After you have completed the initial configuration, you can begin to install and configure applications.

You can also optionally install Storage Configuration Manager to manage the SAS connectivity modules or SAS RAID controller modules and integrated shared storage.
