Abstract
A method of validating a configuration of a computer clusters includes transmitting a first neighbor identification to a first flexible service processor (FSP) arranged in the first computer cluster and a second neighbor identification to a second FSP arranged in the second computer cluster, connecting a first end of a cable to a first transceiver arranged in the first cluster and connecting a second end of the cable to a second transceiver arranged in the second cluster. The first neighbor identification is passed from the first transceiver to the second computer cluster and the second neighbor identification is passed from the second transceiver toward the first computer cluster. The first neighbor identification is compared with a desired first neighbor identification to establish a first comparison result, and the second neighbor identification is compared with a desired second neighbor identification to establish a second comparison result and a notice is generated.
