This section explains how to perform maintenance on the hardware devices managed by Resource Orchestrator.
Flow of Hardware Maintenance when a Server Fails
The following flowchart shows the procedure for maintaining hardware when failures occur on registered servers.

The following hardware replacements can be performed:
Replacing Servers
Replace a server that has been registered in Resource Orchestrator.
For details on replacing servers, refer to the following sections:
For blade servers: Refer to "6.2.3 Replacing Servers".
For servers other than blade servers: Refer to "6.3.2 Replacing Servers".
Replacing Server Components
Replace hardware components (such as a NIC, HBA, or hard disk) of a registered server.
For details on replacing server components, refer to the following sections:
For blade servers: Refer to "6.2.4 Replacing Server Components".
For servers other than blade servers: Refer to "6.3.3 Replacing and Adding Server Components".
Replacing Non-server Hardware
Replace registered chassis, management blades, or any other hardware components external to servers.
For details on replacing hardware other than servers, refer to the following sections:
For blade servers: Refer to "6.2.5 Replacing Non-server Hardware".
For servers other than blade servers: Refer to "6.3.4 Replacing Non-server Hardware and Upgrading Firmware".
