This section explains how to register a chassis.
Registering chassis makes it possible to use the optional power monitoring settings.
When collecting power data, perform the power data collection settings according to "7.8.1 Changing Environmental Data Settings".
For details on devices supporting power monitoring, refer to "2.5 Hardware Environment" in the "Design Guide CE".
By registering a chassis, every server blade mounted in the chassis will be automatically detected and displayed as an unregistered server in the server resource tree. Register these managed servers individually.
For details on registering servers to manage, refer to "5.4.2 Registering Blade Servers".
Use the following procedure to register a chassis:
In the ROR console server resource tree, right-click "Server Resources", and select [Register]-[Chassis] from the popup menu.
The [Register Chassis] dialog is displayed.
To use this feature, the following settings must first be defined:
Enter the IP address that was set on the chassis management blade.
Enter the IP address using periods ".".
Enter a name to assign to this chassis.
Enter a character string beginning with an alphabetical character and containing up to 10 alphanumeric characters and hyphens ("-").
Enter the SNMP community that was set on the chassis management blade.
Either select "public" or enter an arbitrary string.
Enter a string of up to 32 alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
Click <OK>.
The mounted chassis will be displayed under the server resource tree.
Any server blade mounted within this chassis will be detected automatically and shown as: [chassis_name-Slot_number[Unregistered]].
The only operation available for those unregistered server blades is server registration, while the ROR console can only display their hardware statuses and properties.
If the manager is installed on one of those server blades, this blade will be shown as: [chassis_name-Slot_number[Admin Server]].
In that case, server registration will not be available for the admin server, but its hardware status and properties will be displayed in the ROR console.
