Onboard Administrator firmware version 3.00 or later is required to support these server blades.
The Onboard Administrator GUI tree view and graphical view has been updated to support the HP Integrity
i2 server blades. The Port Mapping, Firmware, and Partner Blade screens are also updated.
Tree view and graphical view changes for HP Integrity
i2 Server Blades
All HP Integrity i2 server blades include a Blade Link. The main tree view entry for a conjoined server blade
indicates the range of bays containing all the individual server blades that are conjoined.
Selecting the main tree view entry for the conjoined server blade highlights the Blade Link in the graphical
view with a solid blue box, and each of the conjoined server blades and associated partner blades are
individually highlighted with dotted blue boxes. The Device Bay Information title includes the size of the Blade
Link and the range of bays in the conjoined server.
The Device Bay Information Virtual Device tab is only available on the main entry of the tree view for the
entire conjoined server blade.
