6.1.1 Registering Chassis

This section explains how to register a chassis.
By registering a chassis, every server blade mounted in the chassis will be automatically detected and displayed as an unregistered server in the resource tree.
Refer to "6.1.2 Registering Managed Servers" for details on registering servers.

Use the following procedure to register a chassis:

  1. In the RC console resource tree, right-click "Server Resources", and select [Register]-[Chassis] from the popup menu.

    The [Register Chassis] dialog is displayed.

  2. In the [Register Chassis] dialog, set the following items.

    Admin LAN (IP address)

    Enter the IP address that was set on the chassis management blade.
    Use standard dot notation.

    Example

    100.100.100.100

    Chassis name

    Enter a name to assign to this chassis.
    Use no more than 10 characters, including alphanumeric characters or hyphens ("-"). This name should start with an alphabet character.

    SNMP Community

    Enter the SNMP community that was set on the chassis management blade.
    Select "public", or enter an arbitrary string.
    Enter no more than 32 characters, including alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_") or hyphens ("-").

  3. Click the <OK> button.

    The registered chassis will be displayed under the 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 servers is server registration, while the RC 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 blade, but its hardware status and properties will be displayed in the RC console.
