Chapter 9: Managing IBM BladeCenter Servers
143
Black channels indicate that either there is no blade server
installed or the installed blade server is turned off.
If any user is accessing a blade server while the refresh command is
issued by the administrator, two results are possible:
If the keyboard/mouse activity has been idle for more than 200ms,
the user(s) will be disconnected and the refresh command is
executed.
Otherwise, the refresh command is NOT executed and the message
“BladeServer is occupied” will be displayed in the message bar.
Tip: You can remotely update the IBM BladeCenter channel status
through IP-Reach or Paragon Manager:
* Log in to the IP-Reach device that is connected to the Paragon system,
and follow the same OSUI procedure to refresh the IBM BladeCenter
channel. For more information on the IP-Reach device, see the IP-Reach
User Guide. This user guide is available on Raritan website's Firmware
and Documentation section
(http://www.raritan.com/support/firmware-and-documentation/).
* Make a
con
nection to the Paragon system from Paragon Manager, and
then perform the RefreshBLD-I command in the Channel Information
Editor dialog. See Remotely Refreshing IBM BladeCenter Channel
Status (on page 210) for detailed information.
