IBM Systems Director Plug-ins
IBM Systems Director Switch Plug-ins are software components used to configure and manage BNT's IBM BladeCenter and RackSwitch switches. Switch plug-ins are installed and uninstalled independently from the main IBM Systems Director application. Once a switch plug-in is installed, IBM Director's Configuration Manager Task can be used to perform network, SNMP other hardware configuration of the switch. Please refer to the switch plug-in Readme file for specific installation and removal instructions.
There are three different types of plug-ins depending on the switch type and software version. Refer to the tables below for details of each plug-in.
BladeCenter Standard Switch Plug-in
