LOM ports 3 and 4 on the nonpartitionable enterprise partition platform (NEPP) are cabled respectively to the two Ethernet LAN switches for ClearPath Forward Management LAN (FM LAN) traffic. Use the VMware vSphere Client or vCenter to locate and identify the names of the virtual network adapters associated with LOM ports 3 and 4.
Using the VMware vSphere Client or vCenter, locate and select the desired NEPP, and then click the Configuration tab.
In the left-hand Hardware pane, click Network Adapters.
A list of network adapters appears.
Locate the two 1 GbE network adapters LOM port 3 and LOM port 4 on the NEPP, and then note down the names displayed in the Device column. Typically, these ports are named vmnic2 and vmnic3.
Notes:
Typically, the two 10 GbE network adapters LOM port 1 and LOM port 2 on the NEPP are named vmnic0 and vmnic1.
Depending on the sequence in which a port is discovered by the VMware vSphere host, the number x in the device name vmnicx may be different.
To verify that you located the correct ports, compare the MAC addresses listed in vSphere Client with the MAC addresses listed in the platform's Platform Management Console.
