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).
