Abstract:
1. A method of distributing configuration information within a predefined set of conjoined blades of a blade partition, said method comprising: establishing a communication pathway for said predefined set of conjoined blades with a connectivity module, wherein said connectivity module is comprised within a multi-blade interconnector, wherein said predefined set of conjoined blades and said multi-blade interconnector are inside of a blade enclosure, wherein said multi-blade interconnector further comprises a database; accessing a configuration rule at said database within said multi-blade interconnector for said predefined set of conjoined blades of a blade partition, wherein said conjoined blades within said blade partition are coupled with management processors, wherein said configuration rule comprises: an identification of said conjoined blades and configuration information, wherein said identification is selected from the group of identifications consisting of: presence, location, MBI type, and size; and a pre-configured position of the blades with respect to one another within the set of conjoined blades; comparing a portion of said configuration rule and a hardware configuration of said blade partition, wherein said portion is an identification of said conjoined blades; comparing an actual position of said blades with respect to one another with said pre-configured position of the blades; providing positive determination when said actual position of said blades matches the pre-configured position of the blades; and providing said configuration rule to said management processors of said blade partition when said portion of said configuration rule correlates with said hardware configuration.
