4 Configuration

Please note that before you activate blade server management, sev-
eral uplink ports of a LAN connection blade in IBP mode form a stat-
ic link aggregation group (LAG). If you activate blade server
management using VIOM, all uplink ports of IBP modules will be
deactivated and will only be reactivated when networks are defined
in the IBP module.

4.2.4.1 Network - Overview

All components such as the management blades and I/O connection blades,
the central management station, and the management console must be inter-
connected via LAN. It is recommended that you set up a management LAN
that is separate from the productive LAN, as illustrated in the following figure.

If there are not enough physical ports available, a VLAN-based man-
agement LAN can also be implemented.
