The ability to assign the IP address to the SP was done at the request of users.  This allows the KVM IP adddress to follow the SP (and OS associated with that SP).  Customers wanted to know that KVM IP was also associated with there OS.

The IP associated to the blade can be used at any time for a KVM session.  An IP address associated with the SP can only be used while the SP is associated with a blade.

Both can be used.  I dont believe there is a best practice for their assignment.

Thank You,

Dan Laden
