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 "6.3.7.1 Changing Environmental Data Settings".
For details on devices support power monitoring, refer to "1.2 Hardware Environment" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide".
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, refer to "6.1.3 Registering Managed Servers".
Use the following procedure to register a chassis:
In the RC console server resource tree, right-click "Server Resources", and select [Register]-[Chassis] from the popup menu.
The [Register Chassis] dialog is displayed.
In the [Register Chassis] dialog, set the following items:
Enter the IP address that was set on the chassis management blade.
Use standard dot notation.
Enter a name to assign to this chassis.
Enter up to 10 characters, including alphanumeric characters and hyphens ("-"). This name should start with an alphabet character.
Enter the SNMP community that was set on the chassis management blade.
Either select "public" or enter an arbitrary string.
Enter up to 32 characters, including 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 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, the 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.
By registering a chassis, every partition 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, refer to "6.1.3 Registering Managed Servers".
Use the following procedure to register a chassis:
In the RC console server resource tree, right-click "Server Resources", and select [Register]-[PRIMERGY Partition Model] from the popup menu.
The [Register Chassis] dialog is displayed.
In the [Register Chassis] dialog, set the following items:
Enter the virtual IP address that was set on the chassis management board.
Use standard dot notation.
Enter a name to assign to this chassis.
Enter up to 10 characters, including alphanumeric characters and hyphens ("-"). This name should start with an alphabet character.
Enter the SNMP community that was set on the chassis management board.
Either select "public" or enter an arbitrary string.
Enter up to 32 characters, including alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
Enter the name of a remote server management user account with administrative authority over this managed server.
This user name must be between 8 and 16 alphanumeric characters long.
A user name with at least administrator privileges within the remote server management must be specified.
Enter the password of the above remote server management user account.
This password must be between 8 and 16 alphanumeric characters long.
Click <OK>.
The mounted chassis will be displayed under the server resource tree.
Any partition mounted within this chassis will be detected automatically and shown as: "chassis_name-partition_number[Unregistered]".
The only operation available for those unregistered partitions is server registration, while the RC console can only display their hardware statuses and properties.
If the manager is installed on one of those partitions, the partition will be shown as: "chassis_name-partition_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.

This user should have "platadm" privileges for XSCF.
Enter the password of an XSCF user account with administrative authority over the target chassis.

"!", "@", "#", "$", "%", "^", "&", "*", "[", "]", "{", "}", "(", ")", "-", "+", "=", "~", ",", ">", "<", "/", "'", "?", ";", ":"
Click <OK>.
The mounted chassis will be displayed under the server resource tree.
Any partition mounted within this chassis will be detected automatically and shown as: "chassis_name-partition_number[Unregistered]".
The only operation available for those unregistered partitions is server registration, while the RC console can only display their hardware statuses and properties.
