Users Guide

NOTE: You can congure the enclosure either with a single CMC or with redundant CMCs. In redundant CMC congurations, if

the primary CMC loses communication with the enclosure or the management network, the standby CMC takes over the chassis

management.

Active CMC Election Process

There is no dierence between the two CMC slots; that is, slot does not indictate precedence. Instead, CMC that is installed or started

rst, assumes the role of an active CMC. If AC power is applied with two CMCs installed, CMC installed in CMC chassis slot 1 normally

assumes the active role. The active CMC is indicated by a blue LED.

If two CMCs are inserted into a chassis that is already turned on, automatic active- or standby negotiation can take upto two minutes.

Normal chassis operation resumes when the negotiation is complete.

Obtaining Health Status of Redundant CMC

You can view the health status of the standby CMC in the web interface. For more information about accessing CMC health status in the

web interface, see Viewing Chassis Information and Monitoring Chassis and Component Health.
