LAN ports of BL860c i2 server in C3000 enclosure

[Panagiotis Tzolio]

Even if I copy it to a txt, I don't have a way to get the file from the server...

This is bad.

How about a remote connection from your PC to the blade or the OA?

Can you do this?

However, you have 4 LOMs on the systemboard and an additional mezzanine card in slot 2.

this gives 8 LAN ports.

The 4 LOMs connect to interconnect bay 1, the other 4 ports go to interconnect bay 3 and 4. Ports are N and N+8.

What is in interconnect bay 3 and 4?

What LAN ports are configured from server side?

[Torsten.]

... and back to your initial question. You say you have 2 LAN ports, but in fact you have 8! For a ping response, you need to have the correct ports configured.

You should now just confirm which of the 8 ports are configured with an IP address (of course each from a different subnet).

Please post this information.

# lanscan
# nwmgr
# nwmgr -S apa

Look into

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf

for the configured ports.

HP 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Module for c-Class BladeSystem is present in interconnect bay 3.

Nothing is present in interconnect bay 4.

lan0 and lan1 are configured on server side

I configured lan4 on server side and once I was connected to port 3 of HP 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Module for c-Class BladeSystem, I was able to ping the IP.

So as far as I understand I need to "connect" lan0 with lan4 and lan1 with lan5. is there a way to do this?

I have also attached the information that you asked for.

[Torsten.]

I'm still not sure about the slot number of the server, what is it?

Make sure the ethernet switch is configured for the ports. Based on the formula I gave you, you can find out on which ports of the pass-true module the server is connected, so connect your cables there.

So in summary you have 4 ports on the switch in ic bay 1, 2 ports on pass-thru in ic bay 3, you have 6 useable ports (lan0,1,2,3,4,6).

To find out the slot of the blade from running OS do

# /opt/propplus/bin/cprop -summary -c "Blade"

[Panagiotis Tzolio]

After some tests that I did, I managed to identify that ports 3 & 11 of HP 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Module for c-Class BladeSystem correspond to port 4 and 6 of the server.

So I configured the IP of lan0 to lan4 and the IP of lan1 to lan6.

The problem is that once I remove the IP from lan0 and reboot the server, I have a failure during the startup about the 10G ports.

Any advice?

[Torsten.]

What kind of failure?

If the blade server is in slot 3, the ports at the pass-thru module are N and N+8, this is 3 and 11 - no magic behind this.

[Panagiotis Tzolio]

The failure is during the start-up.

What is your release version? older versions don't have the driver. swlist will tell.
