3.5.1 Matrix Server Installation Guide (June 2008)

Appendix E: Configure the Matrix from the Command Line 74
You will next be asked whether all servers in the matrix are from the same
vendor. If you specified IBM as the vendor, you will also be asked
whether you are using a BladeCenter server.
CAUTION: If you will be using IPMI as the fencing method, you should be
aware that only one IPMI session can be active at a time.
Matrix Server will fail to fence a server if another IPMI session
is already active on that server at the time that the fencing
attempt is made.
Remote Management Controller ID. On the Remote Management
Controller Configuration window, specify how Matrix Server should
identify the Remote Management Controller associated with each server.
Use one of the following methods.
• Specify the common naming scheme that you are using for the Remote
Management Controllers (either a hostname suffix or an IP address
delta).
• Enter the hostname or IP address for the Remote Management
Controller associated with this matrix server. (If your servers are from
different vendors, you will need to use this method.)
• For IBM BladeCenter servers, specify the Hostname/IP Address and
the Blade slot.
