Re-configuring Hardware Properties after Server Replacement
- For Rack Mount and Tower Servers
Use the following procedure to re-configure properties for replaced hardware.
1. If the agent or ServerView Agents has already been registered, power on the server.
Additional Information
When a server using SAN boot has a hardware exchange that results in the MAC address used for the admin LAN being
changed, the OS and an agent cannot be started.
In this case, the server should be started once, and the MAC address confirmed on the BIOS (hardware) screen. After the
MAC address is confirmed, power off the server again.
2. In the ROR console server resource tree, right-click the target server and select [Hardware Maintenance]-[Re-configure] from
the popup menu.
The [Re-configure Hardware Properties] dialog is displayed.
3. Enter MAC addresses for the network interfaces used on the admin LAN.
This step can be skipped if no network interface was replaced.
- Admin LAN MAC Address (NIC1)
Required only if the agent is not registered.
Additional Information
When a server is powered off for the reason given in the Additional Information in 1., the item for input of the value of
NIC1 is displayed. In this case, input the MAC address confirmed in the Additional Information in 1.
