As you deploy blade enclosures, keeping a note of what the layout looks like, and what they are being allocated too is important. I’ve put together a basic example for a deployment, consisting of 48 HP blades, note the same would apply to IBM/Sun/Dell though the number of blades might differ. The diagram gives you an example of the cabinet layout for BL30p/BL35p blades.

Try and operate on an enclosure basis, allocating individual blades to a task can make administration that bit more difficult and couple that with naming conventions and the game might be over. Remember, that you may have to take down a cabinet for maintenance, trying to minimize the number, the range of applications will make this easier, or at the very least sharing that cabinet between a business line, suite of applications.
