Each zBX consists of 1 to 4 frames, each with one or two BladeCenter chassis, and a set of ethernet switches. The zBX is "owned" by a single z196 or z114 CPC. Up to 8 CPCs, each with its attached zBX can join together into an ensemble. The virtual servers (guests or LPARs) on any of the CPCs can connect to the virtual servers on any blade, subject only to IEDN configuration. There is also a "zero zBX" ensemble configuration that has a single z196 or z114 CPC, with no zBX attachment.
