Even though this constellation is possible, it does not make sense because
only the first port can be used from the IBP module in bay 1, 3, 5 or 7.
Operation in Open Fabric mode
Open Fabric mode refers to the use of non-VIOM-capable LAN modules
together with the Virtual-IO Manager. In this case, you can only work with vir-
tual I/O parameters, and not with dedicated network connections.
Therefore, if you do not want to use any routing, all combinations are possible
even with non-VIOM-capable I/O connection blades. You must take the fol-
lowing into account:
l
You cannot mix LAN and IBP modules within a fabric.
l
You can only assign profiles if no networks are defined for their ports.
You can force the assignment of a profile with network def-
initions by selecting the Ignore ext. LAN connections option
in the profile selection dialog box or by answering the sub-
sequent query accordingly. In doing so, however, the network
definitions are ignored.
l
You can operate LAN models of different sizes within a fabric, although
you cannot use all download links from the larger model.
