How do blade servers work with storage, hypervisor, and VM

I think the C6100 breaks the drive backplane up into chunks, so each node gets either three or six drives of its own to play with (depending on whether it's the 12x3.5" or 24x2.5" chassis). Put the chassis' service tag into dell.com/support and you'll be able to get a PDF of the manual.
These systems aren't really "blades". It's four half-width, 1U nodes in a 2U chassis. Each one still operates independently, oblivious to the fact that it's got conjoined siblings.
Dell blades go in an M1000e, FX2/FX2S, or VRTX chassis. They'll have all the big datacenter goodies like centralized platform management, shared storage, and internal networking.
