This section explains how to register chassis when using PRIMEQUEST servers.
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 "5.8.2 Registering PRIMEQUEST Servers".
Use the following procedure to register a chassis:
In the ROR console server resource tree, right-click [Server Resources], and select [Register]-[PRIMEQUEST] from the popup menu.
The [Register Chassis] dialog is displayed.
Perform the following settings:
Enter the virtual IP address that was set on the chassis management board.
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 board.
Either select [public] or enter an arbitrary string.
Enter a string of up to 32 alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
Enter the ID of a remote server management user account with administrative authority over this managed server.
This user ID must be between 8 and 16 alphanumeric characters long.
A user ID 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.
Note
The [User ID] and [Password] of [Remote server management] are different from the user name and password used to log in on the Web-UI for management board.
Click the [OK] button.
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 ROR console can only display their hardware statuses and properties.
If the manager is installed on one of those partitions, this partition will be shown as: [chassis_name-partition_number[Admin Server]].
In that case, server registration will not be available for the admin server. Its properties will be displayed in the ROR console.
Information
For the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series, when the chassis is registered, partitions of PPAR and Extended Partition are detected automatically and they are displayed as unregistered servers in the server resource tree. However, PPAR with Extended Partitioning Mode set to "Enable" are not displayed.
When [Extended Partitioning Mode] of PPAR#3 is set to "Enable" and Extended Partition#4 and #5 are configured from PPAR#3 as shown in the figure below, PPAR#3 is not displayed in the server resource tree after the chassis is registered. Extended Partition#4 and #5 configured from PPAR#3 are displayed in the server resource tree.
