currently we have bl20pg2 servers installed in enclosure bearing product number 281404-B21
(enclosure + 8 RDP licenses). Now we have purchased bl20p G4 servers and have installed in existing enclusres 281404-B21
(enclosure + 8 RDP licenses). These servers does not contain optional mezzanine card for NIC.therefore these servers only have 2 embedded NICs. I have connected all the network cables.ILO and one NIC are working fine but second NIC sshows cable disconnected. I have checked cables and rest of the network and everything seems OK.
Now i want to ask is this because of not using enhanced backplan for bl20p G4 servers or there is anything i need to do to make second NIC functional.
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionAccording to the compatibility matrix here:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/Compatibility-Matrix.html
the BL20p G4 is only supported on an enclosure with an enhanced backplane. I would expect that you would have to upgrade the backplane to get the second NIC to work.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: BL20p G4 and enclosure
Thanks for your input. I will proceed to upgrade the backplan to enhanced backplan to resolve this problem.
