- Replacing Storage Blades
No specific action is required in Resource Orchestrator when replacing a storage blade that does not contain the boot disk of a server
blade.
Use the following procedure to replace a storage blade that contains the boot disk of a server blade.
1. Replace the storage blade.
2. Insert the server blade's boot disk in the new storage blade.
3. If the boot disk's content was backed up, restore it.
Information
The backup and restore functions available in Resource Orchestrator can be used to restore the boot disk contents.
For details, refer to "Chapter 16 Backup and Restore" in the "User's Guide VE".
9.3 Maintenance for Servers Other Than Blade Servers
This section explains server maintenance for other than blade servers.
9.3.1 Reconfiguration of Hardware Properties
This section explains how to re-configure hardware properties for replaced hardware.
After hardware replacement, it is necessary to re-configure Resource Orchestrator with the new hardware properties.
Note
- Ensure this operation is performed only after the replacement of one of the following: a server itself, the NIC used for either the admin
or public LAN, or the HBA.
If it is not, there is a possibility that operations on the server will not run correctly.
- When the system board or GSPB of a PRIMEQUEST server has been changed, ensure that this operation is performed.
If it is not, there is a possibility that operations on the server will not run correctly.
- After replacing the hardware, the server status becomes "unknown". The appropriate status can be restored by re-configuring the
hardware properties from the server.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be satisfied before this operation can be performed:
- Both the replaced server and replacement server must be the same model
A warning message is shown if the model of the replacement server differs from that of the replaced server.
- The replaced server and replacement server must both be of the same blade type
If the blade types of the replaced and replacement servers are different, an error will occur.
To move a server to a different slot within a chassis, the server must be deleted first, and then registered again after being inserted in its
new slot.
Pre-Configuration
For SPARC Enterprise servers, the hardware properties are automatically re-configured.
