Note: If the IP configuration is assigned by the DHCP server, the network
If you do not want to use DHCP, configure the static IP address, then disable the
DHCP client.
Deployment Examples
This section describes the example procedures for deploying and configuring your
BladeCenter unit:
v Using IBM Director and a DHCP server
v Using IBM Director without a DHCP server
v Using the Web-based interface
IBM Director and DHCP
This scenario uses the following assumptions:
v The IBM Director server and console are on the same subnet as the external
v A DHCP server exists on the same subnet as well.
v You have already obtained the IP addresses on the same subnet for:
v You have obtained a gateway IP address and subnet mask (if needed).
Follow this steps to deploy and configure your BladeCenter unit using IBM Director
and a DHCP server:
1. Plug in the BladeServer and check the LED status.
2. From IBM Director, set Chassis Association and select the Chassis & Chassis
3. Initiate chassis discovery. The BladeCenter managed object appears on the IBM
