Prerequisites for creating a wired group
Following are the prerequisites to create a wired or daisy-chained chassis group:
● List of wired daisy-chained chassis—All the chassis must be on the private stack. You need not enter a password as the
machine to machine authentication trust is used.
● Ensure that you have added member chassis to the group using the automatic or manual method.
● Ensure that the chassis settings are selected for applying to the other chassis—Power, user authentication, alert
destination, time, proxy, security, network services, local access.
Before creating an MCM group, ensure that the MX7000 management networks are wired together in a stacked configuration.
The stacked configuration helps in surviving:
● A single network cable failure.
● A single management module failure.
● Power loss owing to any chassis in the stack.
● Failover of a chassis in the stack.
NOTE: If any of the issues that are listed above occur, the management network access to all components in the daisy-
chained group may be interrupted for up to 10 minutes. The OME - Modular web interface recovers automatically.
The wired chassis are displayed as under "Available Chassis" in the Group Deployment Wizard.
