Add a Blade Chassis Device
The procedure to add a blade chassis device varies depending on the
blade chassis type.
A blade chassis device always show two names in the Devices tab: the
name without the parentheses is retrieved from the KX2 device, and the
name within the parentheses is the chassis name saved on CC-SG.
To add a blade chassis device with an integrated KVM switch:
1. Configure the blade chassis in KX2 properly. See the KX II User
Guide.
2. Configure the KX2 device in CC-SG properly. See Add a KVM or
Serial Device (on page 54).
3. CC-SG detects the blade chassis device and adds the blade chassis
icon in one or two tabs:
 In the Devices tab, the blade chassis device appears beneath the
KX2 device to which it is connected.
 In the Nodes tab, if you have entered the IP address or hostname
for the blade chassis on the KX2 device, the blade chassis
appears as a node with a Web Browser interface added to it.
Note: For this type of blade chassis, you must configure blade servers
later. See
Configuring Slots on a Blade Chassis Device (on page 65).
To add a blade chassis device without an integrated KVM
switch:
1. Configure a blade port group for the blade servers in KX2 properly.
See the KX II User Guide.
2. Configure the KX2 device in CC-SG properly. See Add a KVM or
Serial Device (on page 54).
3. CC-SG automatically creates a virtual blade chassis and adds the
blade chassis icon in one tab. Note that a virtual blade chassis never
appears as a node in the Nodes tab.
 In the Devices tab, the virtual blade chassis device appears
beneath the KX2 device, as a virtual container to the blade
servers, which appear beneath the virtual blade chassis.
Note: If you did not configure a blade port group for the blade servers
before configuring the KX2 ports in CC-SG, you can choose Devices >
Device Manager > Launch Admin to set the blade port group. Then
configure the blade servers in CC-SG. See
Configuring Slots on a
Blade Chassis Device (on page 65).
