Chapter 6: Devices, Device Groups, and Ports
Blade Chassis without an Integrated KVM Switch
A blade chassis without an integrated KVM switch, such as HP
BladeSystem series, allows each blade server to connect to KX2
respectively via a CIM. As each blade server in that chassis has a CIM for
access, when a user accesses one blade server, others still can access
the other blade servers.
When configuring all KX2 ports in CC-SG, the blade servers connected to
the KX2 device are configured. If you have properly configured a blade
port group for these blade servers on the KX2 device, CC-SG then creates
a virtual blade chassis at the KX2 port level as the container for these
blade servers. See Add a Blade Chassis Device (on page 42).
Otherwise, these blade servers appear as normal KX2 ports in the
Devices tab of CC-SG.
Add a Blade Chassis Device
The procedure to add a blade chassis device varies depending on the
blade chassis type.
A blade chassis device always show two names in the Devices tab: the
name without the parentheses is retrieved from the KX2 device, and the
name within the parentheses is the chassis name saved on CC-SG.
To add a blade chassis device with an integrated KVM switch:
1. Configure the blade chassis in KX2 properly. See the KX II User
Guide.
2. Configure the KX2 device in CC-SG properly. See Add a KVM or
Serial Device (on page 33).
3. CC-SG detects the blade chassis device and adds the blade chassis
icon in one or two tabs:
• In the Devices tab, the blade chassis device appears beneath the
KX2 device to which it is connected.
• In the Nodes tab, if you have entered the IP address or hostname
for the blade chassis on the KX2 device, the blade chassis
appears as a node with a Web Browser interface added to it.
Note: For this type of blade chassis, you must configure blade servers
later. See Configuring Slots on a Blade Chassis Device (on page 43).
To add a blade chassis device without an integrated KVM switch:
1. Configure a blade port group for the blade servers in KX2 properly.
See the KX II User Guide.
2. Configure the KX2 device in CC-SG properly. See Add a KVM or
Serial Device (on page 33).
