Chapter 4. System planning and configuration using VIOS with IVM 73
4.1 Planning considerations
When planning your system environment for a IBM BladeCenter JS23 or JS43 a
complete overview of the BladeCenter, blades, network and storage should be
reviewed. Crafting an overall solution will help to eliminate expensive rework.
4.1.1 General considerations
We’ll start with the general considerations.
BladeCenter
An understanding of how network and other I/O traffic is routed through the
mid-plane of a BladeCenter chassis is needed to plan external network and
storage connections. Figure 4-1 on page 74 and Figure 4-2 on page 75 show the
connections between a blade’s integrated ports and expansion card ports to the
individual switch module bays.
