Chapter 1. IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager V3.0

IBM BladeCenter

Open Fabric Manager (OFM) is a solution that enables you to

quickly replace and recover blades in your environment.

It does this by assigning Ethernet MAC, Fibre Channel WWN and SAS WWN

addresses to the BladeCenter slots in such a way that any blades plugged into

those slots will take on the assigned addresses. This enables the Ethernet and Fibre

Channel infrastructure to be configured once and before any blades are connected

to the BladeCenter chassis. BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager-Advanced upgrade

adds capabilities to monitor blades for failure events and to take automatic action

to failover from a faulty blade to a cold standby blade. The Ethernet MAC and

Fibre Channel WWN addresses are moved from the faulty blade’s slot to the

standby blade’s slot and the standby blade is automatically powered on. In a boot

from SAN environment, the operating system and software that was once running

on the faulty blade is now running on the standby blade.

There are two separate offerings of BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager. The main

BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager function is provided in the OFM offering.

Additional capabilities are available with the OFM-Advanced upgrade offering.

OFM

With BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager, you can pre-assign MAC and WWN

addresses, as well as storage boot targets, for up to 100 chassis or 1400 blade

servers. Using the management module Web interface, you can create addresses for

blade servers, save the addresses to a configuration file, deploy the addresses to

the blade slots in the same chassis or in up to 100 different chassis. This can be

done without any blade servers installed in the chassis.

OFM-Advanced upgrade

With BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager-Advanced upgrade, you can monitor the

health of blade servers and automatically - without user intervention - replace a

failed blade from a designated pool of spare blades. After receiving a failure alert,

OFM-Advanced upgrade attempts to power off the failing blade, read the

BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager virtualized addresses and boot target

parameters, apply these parameters to the next blade in the standby blade pool,

and power on the standby blade.

You can also pre-assign MAC and WWN addresses, as well as storage boot targets,

for up to 100 chassis or 1400 blade servers with BladeCenter Open Fabric

Manager-Advanced upgrade. Using an enhanced graphical user interface, you can

create addresses for blade servers, save the addresses profiles; deploy the addresses

to the blade slots in the same chassis or in up to 100 different chassis. This can be

done without any blade servers installed in the chassis. Additionally, you can

create profiles for chassis that have not been installed in the environment by

simply associating an IP address to the future chassis.

BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager-Advanced upgrade is available as a standalone

offering or as an extension to IBM Systems Director. The standalone version

includes an embedded version of IBM Systems Director.
