Adding Members to Chassis Group

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.

NOTE: For MCM to function properly, you must use the default HTTPS port (443) on all group

members and the leader chassis.

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.

7. Click Apply.

8. Repeat step 4 through step 8 to add a maximum of eight members. The new members’ Chassis

Names appear in the Members dialog box.

The status of the new member is displayed by selecting the Group in the tree. Details are available by

clicking on the chassis image or the details button.

NOTE: The credentials entered for a member are passed securely to the member chassis, to

establish a trust relationship between the member and lead chassis. The credentials are not

persisted on either chassis, and are never exchanged again after the initial trust relationship is

established.

Removing a Member from the Leader

You can remove a member from the group from the lead chassis. To remove a member:

1. Login with chassis administrator privileges to the leader chassis.

2. Select the Lead chassis in the tree.

3. Click Setup → Group Administration.

4. From the Remove Members list, select the member’s name or names to be deleted, and then click

Apply.

The lead chassis then communicates to the member or members, if more than one is selected, that it

has been removed from the group. The member name is removed. The member chassis may not

receive the message, if a network issue prevents contact between the leader and the member. In this

case, disable the member from the member chassis to complete the removal.
