Using the CMC Web Interface 95
• Housing-Center
• The strings Server-1 through Server-16 may be used, but only for
the corresponding slot. For example,
Server-3 is a valid name for slot 3,
but not for slot 4. Note that
Server-03 is a valid name for any slot.
NOTE: To change a slot name, you must have Chassis Configuration Administrator
privilege.
NOTE: The slot name setting in the Web interface resides on the CMC only. If a
server is removed from the chassis, the slot name setting does not remain with the
server.
NOTE: The slot name setting does not extend to the optional iKVM. The slot name
information is available through the iKVM FRU.
NOTE: The slot name setting in the CMC Web interface always overrides any
change you make to the display name in the iDRAC interface.
To edit a slot name:
1
Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Select Servers in the Chassis menu in the system tree.
3 Click the Setup tab - the Slot Names subtab. The Slot Names page
displays.
4 Type the updated or new name for a slot in the Slot Name field. Repeat
this action for each slot you want to rename.
5 Click Apply .
6 To restore the default slot name ( SLOT-01 to SLOT-16 , based on the
server's slot position) to the server, press
Restore Default Value .
Setting the First Boot Device for Servers
The First Boot Device page allows you to specify the CMC first boot device
for each server. This may not be the actual first boot device for the server or
even represent a device present in that server; instead it represents a device
sent by the CMC to the server and used as its first boot device in regard to
that server.
You can set the default boot device and you can also set a one-time boot
device so that you can boot a special image to perform tasks such as running
diagnostics or reinstalling an operating system.
