Use this information to diagnose and resolve network connection
issues with the blade server.
To check for network connection problems, complete the following
steps until the problem is solved:
- Make sure that:
- The network cables are securely connected to the I/O module.
- Power configuration of the BladeCenter unit supports the I/O-module
configuration.
- Installation of the I/O-module type is supported by the BladeCenter
unit and blade server hardware.
- The I/O modules for the network interface that is being used are
installed in the correct BladeCenter I/O-module bays and are configured
and operating correctly.
- The settings in the I/O module are correct for the blade server
(settings in the I/O module are specific to each blade server).
- Check for correct I/O-module operation; troubleshoot and
replace the I/O module as indicated in the documentation for the I/O
module.
- Check for correct management-module operation (see the
documentation for your BladeCenter unit).
Note: Some BladeCenter unit types have several management-module
components that might have to be tested or replaced (see the Installation
Guide for your Advanced Management Module for more information).
- Replace the Advanced Management Module (see the documentation
for your BladeCenter unit).
