M1000e

[Nick_Parrott at Dell.com]

Mohammad,

 

Do you have the pass-thru modules for the NICs or switches (M6220)
instead? The pass-thru modules will require all live ports to be
populated, and you should get a NIC LED as the blade boots, once into
the OS it's up to the driver so the link LEDs may go off. The switch
should be fine with even a single cable.

 

For the purposes of isolation, does a live disto work ok on the machine
with the NICs?

 

Regards,

 

Nick
