Blade switch config tool

mandg — Thu, 17 May 2007 21:12:22 GMT

I saw someone use a simple html-based tool that allowed you to select some field to include the os and then returned the LAC (nic) ports that were available for that particular blade. This data would then be used to update the switch config. Now that we're getting the newer Gen-2 sas BL25 blades, that tool is no longer accurate.
Does anyone know what the heck I'm talking about and, if so, where I can find this neat tool?

Thanks in advance!

It is called the HP Ethernet Connectivity Mapper (hpecm.exe) It is available in the management utilities package at the following link but it does not include the newer p-class blades like the Bl25pG2 unfortunately:

Development may have ceased on this tool. It definitely was handy though.

That's the tool! Thanks.

So now does anyone know if this tool will be amended to include the new BL25 Gen 2's?
