3.
Double-click the first server name.
4.
Log in as normal.
NOTE:
By default, the first port is connected with the dongle to the front of blade 1 (that is, server
1). If server 1 is down, move the dongle to another blade.
Using the serial link on the Onboard Administrator
If you are connected to a terminal server, you can log in through the serial link on the Onboard
Administrator.
Booting the system and individual server blades
Before booting the system, ensure that all of the system components other than the server blades—the
capacity blocks or performance modules and so on—are turned on. By default, server blades boot
whenever power is applied to the system performance chassis (c-Class Blade enclosure). If all server
blades are powered off, you can boot the system as follows:
1.
Press the power button on server blade 1.
2.
Log in as
root
to server 1.
3.
Power on the remaining server blades:
ibrix_server -P on -h <hostname>
NOTE:
Alternatively, press the power button on all of the remaining servers. There is no
need to wait for the first server blade to boot.
Management interfaces
Cluster operations are managed through the StoreAll Fusion Manager, which provides both a
Management Console and a CLI. Most operations can be performed from either the StoreAll
Management Console or the CLI.
The following operations can be performed only from the CLI:
•
SNMP configuration (
ibrix_snmpagent
,
ibrix_snmpgroup
,
ibrix_snmptrap
,
ibrix_snmpuser
,
ibrix_snmpview
)
•
Health checks (
ibrix_haconfig
,
ibrix_health
,
ibrix_healthconfig
)
•
Raw storage management (
ibrix_pv
,
ibrix_vg
,
ibrix_lv
)
•
Fusion Manager operations (
ibrix_fm
) and Fusion Manager tuning (
ibrix_fm_tune
)
•
File system checks (
ibrix_fsck
)
•
Kernel profiling (
ibrix_profile
)
•
Cluster configuration (
ibrix_clusterconfig
)
•
Configuration database consistency (
ibrix_dbck
)
•
Shell task management (
ibrix_shell
)
The following operations can be performed only from the StoreAll Management Console:
•
Scheduling recurring data validation scans
•
Scheduling recurring software snapshots
Using the StoreAll Management Console
The StoreAll Management Console is a browser-based interface to the Fusion Manager. See the
release notes for the supported browsers and other software required to view charts on the
