Checking management master/slave behavior
I
This task applies, if two management blades are installed in the system
unit.
When a management blade is replaced, the new one takes on the slave role. To
verify whether the new management blade is OK, you must switch/change the
master/slave assignment and verify the settings of the master.
I
Switching/changing the master/slave roles of the management blades is
a noisy process (approx. 78 dB), as it causes the fans to briefly run at
maximum power.
Ê
Open the
Components – System – Management Blades – Management Blade-x
menu for the slave management blade.
Ê
Open the
Configuration
tab.
Ê
In the
Switch Management Role
box, click the
Switch Role
button.
Ê
Click the
Confirm Switch Role
button.
The following message will be displayed:
Changed role of Management Blade-x by user operation
.
Ê
Open the
Information
tab.
Ê
Verify the management blade settings.
I
If you are constantly switching/changing the master/slave assignment,
make sure you wait at least three minutes between each
switching/changing, otherwise the state of the server blades cannot be
determined. If this occurs, reset both master and slave with the reset
button.
