Part replacement

Part replacement feature automatically updates a replaced server component to the required firmware version or the configuration

of the old component, or both. The update occurs automatically when you reboot your system after replacing the component.

The following options are supported:

• Collect System Inventory On Restart (CSIOR)—collects all the component information on every system restart.

– Enabled—the software and hardware inventory information of the server components are automatically updated during

every system restart.

– Disabled—the software and hardware inventory information of the server components are not updated.

– Do not change the value on the server—the existing server configuration is retained.

• Part firmware update—restores or upgrades or downgrades the component firmware version based on the selection made.

– Disabled—the feature is disabled and the same is applied on the replaced component.

– Allow version upgrade only—upgraded firmware versions are applied on the replaced component, if the firmware version of

the new component is earlier than the existing version.

– Match firmware of replaced part—firmware version on the new component is matched to the firmware version of the

original component.

– Do not change the value on the server—the existing configuration of the component is retained.

• Part configuration update—Restores or upgrades the component configuration based on the selection made.

– Disabled—the feature is disabled and the saved configuration of the old component is not applied on the replaced

component.

– Apply always—the feature is enabled and the saved configuration of the old component is applied on the replaced

component.

– Apply only if firmware matches—the saved configuration of the old component is applied on the replaced component only

if their firmware versions match.

– Do not change the value on the server—the existing configuration is retained.
