Management Utilities for CGESM Switches (HP Blade Switches)?

klapper · ‎01-10-2008

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any Cisco utilities for management of Cisco CGESM Blade Switches for HP p-Series enclosures. There are six of them in our environment, and the Cisco Network Assistant software reports that they are unsupported devices. I was wondering if there was an alternative out there, or a way to make them supported. They've got the latest IOS image.

Thanks,

Steve

what verson of CNA do you have ? What are the exact device type/models of devices shown as unsupported ?

CNA is 5.3.

The unsupported device is 371098-001. That's the model number reported in IOS. All six of the CGESM's are the same model number.

Thanks!

I've got about 77 of them, but they are older running 12.2(25)SEE2, but they work in most everything LMS 3.X has to offer. We swapped over to IBM blades because of the density.
