3. Re-configure Hardware Properties after Replacement
After replacing the server, re-configure Resource Orchestrator with the latest hardware properties.
For details on how to re-configure hardware properties, refer to "9.3.1 Reconfiguration of Hardware Properties".
After hardware properties have been re-configured, the maintenance LED is automatically turned off in the ROR console.
9.2.4 Replacing Non-Server Hardware
This section explains how to replace hardware external to servers.
- Replacing Chassis
No specific action is required in Resource Orchestrator.
- Replacing Management Blades
No specific action is required in Resource Orchestrator.
- Replacing LAN Switch Blades
No specific action is required for PRIMERGY BX900/BX400 LAN switch blades in IBP mode.
For other LAN switch blades of PRIMERGY BX models, after replacing a switch blade, update the new LAN switch blade with the
VLAN settings that were previously configured in Resource Orchestrator.
Use the following procedure to replace a LAN switch blade.
1. Replace the faulty LAN switch blade.
2. Restore the LAN switch blade configuration backup (which includes all of the LAN switch blade settings) to the new LAN
switch blade.
If the LAN switch blade configuration was not been backed up in advance, it has to be restored by configuring each setting
(except VLAN settings) to the same values set during the initial installation.
Refer to the manual of the LAN switch blade used for details on how to back up and restore LAN switch blade configurations.
3. Update the new LAN switch blade with the latest VLAN settings configured in Resource Orchestrator.
a. In the ROR console server resource tree, right-click the target LAN switch, and select [Restore] from the popup menu.
The [Restore LAN Switch] dialog is displayed.
b. Click <OK>.
VLAN settings are applied to the specified LAN switch blade.
Note
To replace LAN switch blades with different models, first delete the registered LAN switch blade, and then register the replacement
LAN switch blade.
After the LAN switch blade is registered, the VLAN settings must be configured for the internal and external ports.
For details on the VLAN settings, refer to "5.4.4 Configuring VLANs on LAN Switch Blades" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure
Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
When changing from IBP to another mode, or vice versa, when using a PRIMERGY BX900/BX400 series LAN switch blade, delete
the registered LAN switch blade and register it again.
- Replacing Fibre Channel Switch Blades
No specific action is required in Resource Orchestrator.
In Resource Orchestrator, the settings for Fibre Channel switch blades are not restored.
Restore the settings for Fibre Channel switch blades based on the information in hardware manuals.
