To
import a c7000 enclosure to a new Virtual Connect
domain, a login and password for the Onboard
Administrator are required.
To
manage a Fibre Channel Virtual Connect module requires an
Ethernet Virtual Connect module installed.
To
reduce recovery time if Virtual Connect configuration is lost,
back up the domain.
Onboard
Administrator
To
correct a misconfigured IP address on your blade switch,
use the CLI through the Onboard Administrator.
Onboard Adminstrator function: Device Power Sequence –
can be used to ensure that storage devices will boot before servers.
Onboard Administrator function: Enclosure Bay IP Addressing –
allows you to automatically assign an IP address for c-Class
interconnects.
When testing Onboard Administrator failover to the standby
module to test redundancy, if the standby module does not synchronize
to the primary OA, could be that the OAs have different firmware
revisions.
To reapply the Enclosure Bay IP Address (EBIPA) settings for
an Onboard Administrator replacement, upload the configuration
script containing the current settings for the enclosure.
When adding a redundant Onboard Administrator (OA) to a c7000
enclosure, if the OA modules have different firmware versions
installed, the main status screen of the OA and the Insight
Display will indicate an error.
If
you reset the Onboard Administrator (OA) to factory defaults
using the GUI, only the built-in Administrator password is kept
(any applied advanced license key is not kept).
The Onboard Administrator tool can be used to configure N+1
power redundancy on the c7000 enclosure.
After update Onboard Administrator firmware, retry connection
after waiting a minimum of 30 seconds.
Insight Display can be used to reboot an OA.
Connectors available on the HP BladeSystem OA include: RJ45
(Ethernet), DB9 (Serial), USB.
From the Onboard Administrator web-based console, you can
easily view the complete firmware information for all
components found in a c7000 enclosure.
To
