Configuring Bond Failover on IBM Blade Servers

Due to how IBM HS20 and HS40 blade servers detect network connection failures, a

network adapter bond may not failover when the primary adapter is disconnected from

an external switch. ESX Server includes an option to detect network connection failures

on these IBM servers.

To configure bond failover, you need to set the Net.Zerospeedlinkdown option to a

value of 1 on IBM HS20 and HS40 blade servers.

1 Log into the VMware Management Interface as root.

2Click the Options tab, then click Advanced Settings.

3Find the Net.Zerospeedlinkdown option and set it to 1.

Best Practices on IBM Blade Servers

This section includes some general best practices for ESX Server on IBM blades.

Mounting USB CD-ROM Devices

To mount a USB CD-ROM driver, you must symbolically link (ln -s) /dev/cdrom to

/dev/scd0. This symbolic link is created automatically if you installed ESX Server using

the ESX Server CD-ROM. If however, you installed ESX Server using a remote or

network installation, then you may need to create this symbolic link manually. To create

the symbolic link, type:

ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom

To mount the USB CD-ROM manually, type:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom

If the /mnt/cdrom directory is also deleted, then recreate this directory by typing:

mkdir /mnt/cdrom

NOTE When you switch from one blade to another, the /dev/cdrom link and possibly the

/mnt/cdrom directory may be deleted. If this happens, type the following to mount the

USB CD-ROM manually:

1 2 ... 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 ... 109 110
