Setting Up Chassis Group

CMC enables you to monitor multiple chassis from a single lead chassis. When a chassis group is enabled, CMC in the

lead chassis generates a graphical display of the status of the lead chassis and all member chassis within the chassis

group. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise License.

The Chassis group features are:

• Displays images portraying the front and back of each chassis, a set for the leader and a set for each member.

• Health concerns for the leader and members of a group are recognized by red or yellow overlays and an X or an ! on

the component with the symptoms. Details are visible below the chassis image when you click the chassis image or

Details.

• Quick launch links are available for opening member chassis’s or server’s web pages.

• A server and Input/Output inventory is available for a group.

• A selectable option is available to synchronize a new member’s properties to the leader’s properties when the new

member is added to the group.

A chassis group may contain a maximum of eight members. Also, a leader or member can only participate in one group.

You cannot join a chassis, either as a leader or member, that is part of a group to another group. You can delete the

chassis from a group and add it later to a different group.

To set up the Chassis Group using the CMC web interface:

1. Log in with chassis administrator privileges to the leader chassis.

2. Click Setup → Group Administration.

3. On the Chassis Group page, under Role, select Leader. A field to add the group name is displayed.

4. Type the group name in the Group Name field, and then click Apply.

NOTE: The same rules that apply for a domain name apply to the group name.

When the chassis group is created, the GUI automatically switches to the Chassis Group page. The left pane

indicates the group by the group name and the lead chassis, and the unpopulated member chassis appear in the

left pane.

Adding Members To Chassis Group

After the Chassis Group is setup, add members to the group by doing the following:

1. Log in with chassis administrator privileges to the leader chassis.

2. Select the lead chassis in the tree.
