Enumerating server blade NICs
The BL p-Class switch documentation specifies that for a server blade running Windows, server NICs should map to switch ports like this:
NIC1 <-> SW A Port 1
NIC2 <-> SW A Port 2
However, on the 4 blades I've been working on today, they are the other way around (1->2 and 2->1).
Is there any easy way of checking this for these servers? I'd like to make sure that when I team my NIC's, I'm really teaming what I think I'm teaming. :)

Re: Enumerating server blade NICs
In Windows, you can simply remove the cable and see which connection gets effected. If your using a switch with just uplinks, then set 2 different IP addresses on the NIC's and from another source, ping both continuously (use ping -t). Once set up, disable the port from the switch and see which NIC stops responding... or just simply look at the Network Connections to see which one loses connection.

Re: Enumerating server blade NICs
Steven, thanks.. but I meant "easy" as in "practical". Yanking cables out of full production servers is frowned upon by my boss. I'm looking for some tool (or technique that can be automated), to tell me which physical NIC port is mapped to which card in Windows.
