Users Guide

● 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.
Server Inventory for MCM group
A group is a lead chassis that has 0 to 8 chassis group members. The Chassis Group Health page displays all the member
chassis and allows you to save the server inventory report to a file, using standard browser download capability. The report
contains data for:
● All servers currently in all the group chassis (including the leader).
● Empty slots and extension slots (including full height and double width server modules).
Saving Server Inventory Report
To save the server inventory report using the CMC web interface:
1. In the left pane, select the Group.
2. On the Chassis Group Health page, click Save Inventory Report. The File Download dialog box is displayed asking you
to open or save the file.
3. Click Save and specify the path and file name for the server module inventory report.
NOTE:
The chassis group leader and chassis group member chassis, and the server module in the associated chassis,
must be turned on to get the most accurate server module inventory report.
Exported Data
The server inventory report contains data that was most recently returned by each Chassis Group member during the Chassis
Group leader’s normal polling (after every 30 seconds).
To get the most accurate server inventory report:
● The Chassis Group leader chassis and all Chassis Group member chassis must be in Chassis Power State On.
● All servers in the associated chassis must be turned on.
The inventory data for the associated chassis and servers may be missing in inventory report, if a subset of the Chassis Group
member chassis are:
● In Chassis Power State Off state
● Turned off
NOTE:
If a server is inserted while the chassis is turned off, the model number is not displayed anywhere in the web
interface until the chassis is turned on again.
The following table lists the specific data fields and specific requirements for fields to be reported for each server:
