We are planning to install Exchange 2007 on a IBM I5/OS, Version 6 Release 1 Mod 0, H Bladecenter. I cannot seem to find an HCL for Exchange 2007, only Server 08. Also we have in place 2 Exchange 03 servers now in the netowrk on same subnet one is on the I5 H Bladecenter now, the other is on stand alone hadware. Both Exhcange 03 versions are 6.5 Build 7638.2 SP2, running on a 2003 server SP2 (on I5), and a 2000 server SP2. Any consideration will be appreciated.

The bladecenter was initially setup by a company and allows me to only create VM’s from Vlan 2. The issue is that I am out of Ip’s in that vlan and I wanted the ability to use another address space for the VM’s. I’ve already created a new vlan 20.

Here is the current config of the switch. All I’ve added to these configurations from before was sw trunk allowed vlan add 20

Main Switch CISCO 4500

interface Port-channel1
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 3
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3,20
!

!
interface GigabitEthernet5/39
description BLADECENTER-sw2-p17 Trunk Port
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 3
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3,20
channel-group 1 mode on
!
interface GigabitEthernet6/2
description BLADECENTER-sw2-p17 Truck Port
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 3
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3,20
channel-group 1 mode on
!
Switch config – Bladecenter sw1

vlan 2
server

vlan 3
WAN

vlan 20
server2

interface Port-channel1
switchport trunk native vlan 3
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3,20

interface GigabitEthernet0/17
switchport trunk native vlan 3
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3,20
macro description cisco-switch
channel-group 1 mode on
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/18
switchport trunk native vlan 3
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3,20
macro description cisco-switch
channel-group 1 mode on

blade switchport where host is contained

interface GigabitEthernet0/9
description blade9
switchport trunk native vlan 2
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,20
switchport mode trunk.

End result is I can’t use any vlans from that new range. I’ve been reading and thinking there are configuration changes I need to make on the ESX server itself with vlan tagging and such. Nothing like that is setup currently.

Thanks in advance.
