2.5.3 Dedicated LAN connections (only for blade servers)
You can assign each I/O port of a server blade to an explicit network in the
server profile. As a server profile is not connected to any hardware, only the
network name is recorded in it.
If a server profile is assigned to a slot, the downlinks connected to the I/O
channels of the slot are added to the IBP modules in the specified network.
The networks explicitly named in the server profile must be configured before-
hand in the affected IBP modules.
If non-VIOM capable LAN modules are installed (Open Fabric mode), you
cannot set any dedicated LAN connections (paths). In this case, you must
work with profiles whose I/O ports do not contain any network assignment.
2.5.4 Virtualizing I/O parameters
Virtualizing the physical server identity in the form of physical MAC address-
es, WWN addresses and boot parameters is a key function of the Server-
View Virtual-IO Manager software.
By defining virtual I/O addresses and boot parameters as part of a server pro-
file, you can easily move an operating system image or an application from
one server blade or PRIMERGY rack server to another.
The following basic I/O parameters belong to the virtualization parameters:
l
Virtual MAC address (LAN)
l
Virtual WWN addresses (Fibre Channel)
You can also define the iSCSI boot parameters for LAN ports which are
defined as iSCSI boot devices. For each Fibre Channel HBA port the fol-
lowing SAN boot configuration parameters can be virtualized:
l
Boot
l
1st target port name (WWPN of the target device)
l
1st target LUN
l
2nd target port name (WWPN of the target device)
l
2nd target LUN
