If you want to ignore this chassis and apply the configuration anyway, you can
press Ignore . Ignoring a chassis might result in duplicate addresses, because the
AMM cannot compare the addresses against the ones that are being used by the
unreachable chassis. You can also suppress this warning by selecting the Continue
on error advanced option on the Apply a Configuration page.
Blade power state failure
Before applying a configuration, the AMM validates that all the blades that are
about to be re-configured are powered off. If any of these blades are powered on,
the Web interface displays an Open Fabric Manager Configuration Error - Found
Powered On Blades
page. The page contains a table that shows the blades that are
currently powered on (indicated by a red X icon).
You can optionally force the configuration changes to these powered on blades by
clicking Force . This will keep the blades in their powered on state and cause the
configuration to be applied to those blades during their next reboot. Forcing the
configuration might result in duplicate addresses. You can also force the
configuration changes by selecting the Force the configuration to be applied to
powered on blades advanced option on the Apply a Configuration page.
Disable OFM failure
As described in “Avoiding address duplication” on page 18, before applying the
new configuration, the AMM disables the OFM configuration for the slots that are
about to be re-configured. If there is a failure disabling the OFM configuration for
any of the blades, the Web interface displays an Open Fabric Manager
Configuration Failure page. The page contains a table that shows the blades that
could not be disabled (indicated by a red X icon). A green check mark icon
indicates blades that were properly disabled.
Important: This is a critical error so you must resolve this issue before continuing.
If it is not resolved immediately, blades in your OFM environment can
be disabled when that was not your intent.
Apply OFM failure
If there is a failure applying the OFM configuration to any of the slots, the AMM
will continue to apply the OFM configuration to all the other slots. After the
process completes, the Web interface displays a The configuration file could not
be successfully applied to one or more blades page. The page contains a table
that shows the blades to which the configuration could not be applied (indicated
by a red X icon). If you apply the configuration again, the AMM will try to
configure only the slots that it failed to configure on the previous attempt.
