Verify that the new Standby Blade Pool profile now exists under Tasks in the IBM
Director Console. It will be located in the BladeCenter Management
→
BladeCenter Configuration Manager path.
Note: Once a Standby Blade Pool has been created, the list of standby blades will
remain in the profile even after one or more of the blades has been removed
from the BladeCenter chassis.
Applying a failover configuration profile manually
You can use IBM Director to apply a failover configuration profile manually.
1. From IBM Director Console, select Tasks
→
BladeCenter Management
→
BladeCenter Configuration Manager
→
Standby Blade Pool
→
Select a blade
2.
A
Standby Blade Pool: <blade name>
window will launch. Click
Execute now
to create a schedule job for this task or execute immediately.
3. Wait for the failover to complete (an Execution History window will launch
displaying progress of the operation).
When the Standby Blade Pool is being applied is being applied to an active blade,
the software will communicate with the active blade’s corresponding chassis
management device (the Advanced Management Module) to read the currently
assigned addresses associated with that blade. These addresses will then be
applied to the chassis management device associated with the selected Standby
Blade’s chassis slot.
During the applying of the Standby Blade Pool to an active blade, the Ethernet
Switch Module’s port based VLANs are migrated from the active blade to the
standby blade. The software will connect to all of the Ethernet Switches in the
active blade’s chassis and read the VLAN port information associated with the
active blade. The software will then connect to all of the Ethernet Switches in the
standby blade’s chassis and apply these port based VLANs to those Ethernet
switches. This connection and configuration update is performed through the
Ethernet Switch’s Director plug-in which must be installed on the Director server
otherwise the failover process will fail.
The OFM-Advanced upgrade software performs the following checks prior to
implementing a failover from the source blade to the standby blade:
1.
Checks for matching standby blade machine type
2. Check for matching standby blade model type
3.
Check for standby blade initial power state to be off
4. Check for source blade able to power off
5. Skip migration of VLANs from source blade’s switches to standby blade’s
switches
You can disable these checks by editing the failover.properties file located in the
Program Files\IBM\Director\data\
directory under Windows or the
/opt/ibm/director/data/
directory under Linux.
Comparing the configuration file with the actual configuration
To validate that the configuration file is identical to the actual OFM configuration
that is in use, follow these steps.
Start the process of applying the configuration file. If there are differences between
the configuration file and the actual configuration you will get a confirmation
