HP Ethernet Connectivity Mapper for c-Class Blades
HPECM is a graphical tool which collects information about the contents of a ProLiant BL blade enclosure, including enclosure type, blade type, and blade operating system (OS). It then displays the mapping between the switch or patch panel ports and the OS enumeration (naming order) of the blade network interface controller (NIC) ports. Configuration validation is performed as items are selected, so HPECM may also be used as an aid to configuration and/or deployment planning.
