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 eld.

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 eld.

6. Enter the corresponding password in the Password eld.

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.
