Launching the Web page of a Member Chassis or Server
You can access the web page of the member chassis, remote console of the server, or the web page of the iDRAC
server from the lead chassis group page. If the member device has the same login credentials as the lead chassis, you
can use the same credentials to access the member device.
To navigate to member devices:
1. Log in to the lead chassis.
2. Select Group: name in the tree.
3. If a member CMC is the required destination, select Launch CMC for the required chassis.
If a server in a chassis is the required destination:
a) Select the image of the destination chassis.
b) In the chassis image that appears in the Health section, select the server.
c) In the box labeled Quick Links, select the destination device. A new window is displayed with the destination
page or login screen.
Propagating Leader Chassis Properties to Member Chassis
You can apply the properties from the leader to the member chassis of a group. To synchronize a member with the
leader properties:
1. Login with administrator privileges to the leader chassis.
2. Select the Lead chassis in the tree.
3. Click Setup → Group Administration.
4. In the Chassis Properties Propagation section, select one of the propagation types:
– On-Change Propagation — Select this option for automatic propagation of the selected chassis property
settings. The property changes are propagated to all current group members, whenever lead properties are
changed.
– Manual Propagation — Select this option for manual propagation of the chassis group leader properties with
its members. The lead chassis property settings are propagated to group members only when a lead chassis
administrator clicks Propagate.
5. In the Propagation Properties section, select the categories of lead configuration properties to be propagated to
member chassis.
Select only those setting categories that you want identically configured, across all members of the chassis group.
For example, select Logging and Alerting Properties category, to enable all chassis in the group to share the
logging and alerting configuration settings of the lead chassis.
6. Click Save.
If On-Change Propagation is selected, the member chassis take on the properties of the leader. If Manual
Propagation is selected, click Propagate whenever you want to propagate the chosen settings to member chassis.
For more information on propagation of leader chassis properties to member chassis, see the Online Help .
