7. Slide the module out of the bay and set it aside. Within 1 minute, place
either another module of the same type or a module filler in the bay.
Preparing for management-module redundancy
To prepare your management modules for redundancy, complete the following
steps:
1. Install the standby management module in the available
management-module bay.
2. Wait 1 hour while the active management module transfers firmware and
configuration information to the standby management module.
The management modules are now prepared for redundancy.
Notes:
1. Whenever power is restored to a BladeCenter unit that has two functional
management modules, the management module in bay 1 is, by default, the
active management module, even if the module in bay 2 was the active
module before power was removed.
2. For the most recent version of IBM Director software that you can use to
manage redundant management modules, see http://www.ibm.com/
systems/support/.
See the management-module User’s Guide or Command-Line Interface Reference
Guide for more information about configuring the management module.
