Problems when you create or apply a standby blade pool
When creating a standby blade pool or applying the standby blade pool, you may
run into a number of error conditions. This section describes typical problems and
how to resolve these issues.
Table 9. Blade address configuration creation and application problems
Problem Solution
Profile failed to be applied.
v Check that blades are not powered on.
v Check that you have discovered all of the
chassis in the domain.
v
Check that you do not have address
duplications in the domain.
No chassis show up in the Available chassis
box
Make sure that the chassis have been
completely discovered.
Table 10. Standby blade pool creation and application problems
Problem Solution
No blades show up in the available blades
section.
Make sure that the blades and the
BladeCenter chassis have been completely
detected.
Only the blades from one chassis appear in
the available blades section.
When creating a standby pool through a
targeted action (such as dragging
BladeCenter Configuration Manager onto a
BladeCenter chassis) only the blades from
that chassis will appear in the available
blades section. To see all of the blades that
have been detected, start BladeCenter
Configuration Manager through an
un-targeted action, such as double clicking
on the task.
Standby Blade Pool failed after manually
applying to a blade.
v
Check that the blades in the standby pool
have the same model and type as the
source blade.
v
Check that the standby blade pool does
not contain only the source blade (a
failover attempt to the same blade will
always fail).
v Check that the blades in the standby
blade are powered off.
v
Make sure that the Director plug-in for
your network switches has been installed.
