2.3.6 Points to Note During Management Blade Operations
The following are points to notice for Management Blade operations.
■
Management Blade redundancy function
Two Management Blades are installed in this server by default and the management function is
redundant.
In a redundant configuration, one Management Blade operates in master mode and the other in slave
mode. During normal operations, the Management Blade operating in master mode performs system
management and operations. The Management Blade operating in slave mode is continuously
monitoring the master.
If an error occurs in the master the slave will detect this and switch with the master enabling
management and operations to continue without stopping.
As long as there is no error in the Management Blade, immediately after the power cable has been
connected the Management Blade installed in slot 1 operates as the master.
Store the various setting values set in the Management Blade in the hard copy of screens, take
note, or record in the Configuration Sheets. This is necessary when maintaining or restoring
settings.
Always use the same Management Blade firmware version in both Management Blades (excluding
firmware being updated).
