3. If a member CMC is the required destination, select Launch CMC for the required chassis. If you try logging in to the member chassis
using Launch CMC when both the leader and chassis are FIPS enabled or disabled, you are directed to the Chassis Group Health
page. Else, you are directed to the Login page of the member chassis.
If a server in a chassis is the required destination:
a) Select the image of the destination chassis.
b) In the chassis image that is displayed under the Health and Alerts pane, select the server.
c) In the box labeled Quick Links, select the destination device. A new window is displayed with the destination page or login screen.
NOTE: In MCM, all the Quick Links associated with the servers are not displayed.
Propagating Leader Chassis Properties to Member Chassis
You can apply the properties from the leader to the member chassis of a group. To synchronize a member with the leader properties:
1. Login with administrator privileges to the leader chassis.
2. Select the Lead chassis in the tree.
3. Click Setup > Group Administration.
4. In the Chassis Properties Propagation section, select one of the propagation types:
• On-Change Propagation — Select this option for automatic propagation of the selected chassis property settings. The property
changes are propagated to all current group members, whenever lead properties are changed.
• 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 CMC Online Help.
