• Make sure that the BladeCenter expansion-card settings are the correct values:
- See the troubleshooting section of the documentation that comes with the applicable
Broadcom device driver.
- If you determine that the system is correctly configured, see the diagnostics section of the
applicable device driver Installation Guide or User’s Guide.
• Make sure that all parameters, internal devices, and external devices have been enabled,
where required. These devices might include the I/O module and its internal and external
ports.
For additional information, see the documentation that comes with the management module
and the applicable utility programs and devices.
Fibre Channel device problems
To determine whether your problem is caused by an attached Fibre Channel device, perform the
following tasks:
• Make sure that an I/O module that supports Fibre Channel operation is correctly installed in
bay 8 or bay 10 of a Multi-Switch Interconnect Module for IBM BladeCenter (MSIM).
Note: Installing a second I/O module in the BladeCenter unit provides a backup I/O module in
case one I/O module fails. Both I/O modules must be of the same type, in the previously
specified I/O-module bay combinations in the BladeCenter unit.
• Make sure that the blade server is turned on.
• Make sure that the BladeCenter expansion-card settings are the correct values:
- If the adapter is installed in a blade server that supports the video function, see “Using
HCM and BCU” on page 32.
- If the adapter is installed in a blade server that does not support the video function, you
can use the Host Connectivity Manager (HCM) application from a remote host through a
network connection to the blade server in which the adapter is installed. You can also
configure the adapter remotely by launching HCM from an IBM Director management
console.
- See the troubleshooting section of the documentation that comes with the applicable
Brocade 2-Port 10Gb Converged Network Expansion Card (CFFh) driver.
- If you determine that the system is correctly configured, see the Brocade Adapters
Troubleshooting Guide.
• Make sure that all parameters, internal devices, and external devices have been enabled,
where required. These devices might include the I/O module and its internal and external
ports. For additional information, see the documentation that comes with the management
module and the applicable utility programs and devices.
