Configuring Interface on Blade or FX Servers

1. In the Server Component dialog box, under Network Setting , select Blade or FX2Server option from

Fabric Configuration.

NOTE: If you have only a single PCIe card, it must be in slot 1 in FX2 chassis. ASM does not

support a server with either only onboard NIC and PCIe slot 2, or only PCIe slot 2. If you want

to use PCIe slot 2, you must have both PCIe slots populated. It must be configured according

to the server which is used for the deployment.

3. Under Used for Fibre Channel, select the check boxes next to Fabric B / PCI e slot 1 and Fabric C / /

PCI e slot 2 if you want to enable the fabrics for Fibre Channel traffic.

Importing Configuration from Reference Server

The Importing Configuration From Reference Server feature enables you to import an existing server

configuration and set and use it for the new server component settings. You can edit the settings after

importing the configuration.

To import a server configuration, perform the following steps:

1. On the Server Component Settings page, click Import Configuration from Reference Server.

2. After you click Import Configuration from Reference Server, Select Reference Server window

appears. Click Select on the window.

3. List of available reference servers is displayed. Select the server which you want to import as

reference server from the list and click Select.

4. In the Select Reference Server dialog box, click the server to import the configuration.

5. Click Select.

Henceforth, ASM does not only import basic setting from reference server but also impors all the

BIOS setting and advance RAID configuration from the reference server and allow you to edit the

configuration.

After you configure the setting and save it, you will be able to deploy a service with the configuration.

All the BIOS setting and RAID setting will get applied to target server.
