Not really. A lot of folks are using diff types of hardware. The folks
using xcat are primarily using bladecenters. Most everyone has gone
straight vmware ESX/ESXi.
We have mostly bladecenter E chassis
2 Ethernet switch module
1 Management modules
2 Power modules
2 Cooling modules
with HS21 or HS22 blades
Looks like your only missing the 2nd Ethernet switch module, this is
needed for eth1. I think we normally go with the BNT L2/3 Copper GbESM
switch, but I'll need to check.

It seems like a lot of the VCL instances are running on BladeCenter

have enough I/O modules to install the VCL to it. Does anyone have a
list of the hardware they are using so I can compare it with what I have?
My config:
BladeCenter H chassis
5 JS21 blades
1 HS21XM blade
1 Ethernet switch module
1 Infiniband 4x module
2 Management modules
4 Power modules
2 Cooling modules
What am I missing? (I suspect I need another Ethernet switch module as
I have only been successful in getting eth0 connected on a blade. I
have not been successful in getting eth1 connected.)
