Setting up a Chassis 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 through the GUI:
1
Log in with chassis administrator privileges to the chassis planned as the
leader.
2 Click Setup  Group Administration .
The
Chassis Group page is displayed.
3 In the Chassis Group page, under Role , select Leader .
A field to add the group name is displayed.
4 Enter 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 GUI page. The System Tree indicates the group by the Group
Name and the lead chassis and the unpopulated member chassis appear in
the System Tree.
After the Chassis Group is setup, you can add members to the group:
1
Login with chassis administrator privileges to the leader chassis.
2 Select the Lead chassis in the tree.
3 Click Setup  Group Administration .
4 Under Group Management , enter the member’s IP address or DNS name
in the
Hostname/IP Address field.
5 Enter a user name with chassis administrator privileges on the member
chassis, in the
Username field.
6 Enter the corresponding password in the Password field.
