BladeCluster Solution Manual

BladeCluster Connections for the Short-Haul Multi-Zone Topology (3 Zones)
To participate in a BladeCluster/Multizone Solution with the short-haul option for three zones, both
ServerNet switches in a BladeSystem anchor node must have port 13 (labeled VA) and port 14
(labeled VB) available in slots 5 and 7. For an illustration of these ServerNet switch ports and
faceplate labels, see “ServerNet Switch for BladeCluster” (page 18). You then use MTP-MTP cables
for connections between the ServerNet switch in one anchor node (via VA) and another ServerNet
switch in another anchor node (via VB).

After connecting the cables, wait for the node to appear under the BladeCluster object in the OSM
Service Connection. If it does not appear within 60 seconds, click Continue to see the alarms.
