Installing/Configuring C7000 + BL860c blades from scratch.
Can anyone point me to any documentation which describes the installation and configuration of this hardware, "from scratch".
In particular, the steps necessary to get the hardware installed correctly, and the software installed and configured correctly. In particular, I would be really interested in the order in which these steps need to be carried out, and most importantly, any pitfalls to watch out for.
I have spent some weeks sampling all the Blade system documentation (that I can find), however I was particularly interested in whether there was a "step-by-step" manual.
Anyway,
thanks in advance.
Dave.

Re: Installing/Configuring C7000 + BL860c blades from scratch.
I should have mentioned it, (however I didn't think it would be relevant for a hardware install configuration)
My blades will be running OpenVMS 8.3-1H1.
thanks
Dave.

"get the ... the software installed and configured correctly"
without to say what software.
Do you know this already:
http://docs.hp.com/en/hw.html#HP%20Integrity%20BL860c%20Server%20Blade
There is also an install guide.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Installing/Configuring C7000 + BL860c blades from scratch.
First, the chassis-centric course:
1) get the OA in the chassis up and running, and make sure it is up-to-date on firmware
2) ditto for the Ethernet and FC modules
3) install the BL860c's and get their iLO's configured
4) install the host os on the BL860c's
5) consider firmware updates for the iLO BMC etc firmware on the BL860c's
Second, the "Farragut" approach:
Slam everything into the chassis (gently of course) power it up and go :) Especially if you ordered the blades with the host OS pre-installed.
