S4 (ILO) S3 S1 S2
When trying to connect the servers to the network, the patch panel ports are ACTUALLY:
S4 (ILO) S1 S2 S3
Am I losing my mind, or are the ports not correctly labeled by HP?
Thank You in advance for any assistance you can provide!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: BL20p-G2 RJ-45 Patch Panel: ports not labeled correctly?
Right On !!!
You referred me to:
"http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=PSD_CN0217W&locale=en_US"
This is the exact answer! BL20p-G2 blades get their NICs enumerated differently than the standard BL20p, and thus what I observed matches the link above from HP.
I still feel that HP should include this "gotcha" in the installation docs for the RJ45 patch panels, and warn the customer "up-front."
Thank You for an excellent answer!!
Ciao.

ProLiant BL p-Class G2 Server Blade NICs May Be Enumerated In A Different Order Than A ProLiant BL p-Class Server Blade When Operating In A Windows 2000 Server Environment
RELEASE DATE:
03 October 2003
LAST UPDATED: 11 August 2004
DESCRIPTION
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server may enumerate the Network Interface Controllers (NICs) in an HP ProLiant BL p-Class G2 Server Blade in a different order than it does for an HP ProLiant BL p-Class Server Blade.
DETAILS
Windows 2000 Server enumerates the NICs in the ProLiant BL p-Class Server Blades and ProLiant BL p-Class G2 Server Blades in the following order:
NIC Enumeration in a ProLiant BL p-Class Server Blade (First Generation)
Local Area Connection 1 --- Switch A, First Port in Pair
Local Area Connection 2 --- Switch A, Second Port in Pair
iLO ----------------------- Switch B, First Port in Pair
Local Area Connection 3 --- Switch B, Second Port in Pair
NIC Enumeration in a ProLiant BL p-Class G2 Server Blade
Local Area Connection 2 --- Switch A, First Port in Pair
Local Area Connection 3 --- Switch A, Second Port in Pair
iLO ----------------------- Switch B, First Port in Pair
Local Area Connection 1 --- Switch B, Second Port in Pair
This difference is caused by the order in which the NICs are discovered by the operating system. Since the operating system discovers the NIC attached to "Switch B - Second Port in Pair" first, the operating system labels it as "Local Area Connection 1." The next NIC discovered is the one attached to "Switch A - First Port in Pair." As a result, it is labeled as "Local Area Connection 2"
This behavior DOES NOT negatively impact server performance or functionality. However, when configuring the server, the differences between how the NICs are enumerated need to be understood, so that the appropriate NIC can be selected.
