Restoring chassis

You can restore the configuration of a chassis using a back up file, if the backed-up configuration is of the same chassis. You

must have the chassis administrator role with device configuration privilege to restore the chassis.

To restore a chassis:

1. On the chassis Overview page, click More Actions > Restore.

The Restore Chassis window is displayed.

2. Under Restore File Location, select the Share Type where the configuration backup file is located.

3. Enter the Network Share Address, and Network Share Filepath where the backup file is stored.

4. Enter the name of the Backup File.

5. If the Share Type is CIFS, enter the Domain, Username, and Password to access shared location. Else, go to step 6.

6. In the Restore File Password section, enter the Encryption Password to open the encrypted back up file.

7. Click Restore to restore the chassis.

A message is displayed indicating that the chassis is successfully restored.

You can check the status and details of the restore process on the Montitoring > Jobs page.

Exporting chassis profiles

To export the chassis profile:

1. On the OME–Modular home page, click More Actions > Export Profile.

The Export Profile window is displayed.

3. Enter the network share address and path.

4. If the Share Type is CIFS, enter the Domain, User Name, and Password to access the shared location.

Managing chassis failover

Failover is applicable in dual management module configuration and is the process of transferring the active role to the standby

management module. Reboot the active management module and re-initialize the stand-by management module to assume the

active role. The failover operation takes up to 10 minutes for completion. OME–Modular is unavailable during this process. You

must have the chassis administrator privilege to start a failover.

NOTE: After a failover, the chassis management performance returns to normal in a few minutes.

NOTE: During a failover, the chassis power state on the OME–Modular GUI is displayed as "off". The original power state is

displayed after the inventory is refreshed.

To start a failover:

On the chassis Overview page, click More Actions > Failover.

A message is displayed stating that the system cannot be accessed during a failover.

Troubleshooting in chassis

The Troubleshoot option on the OME–Modular home page enables you to use the following options to resolve issues that occur

in the chassis:

● Extract Log—Use this option to extract application logs and save them to the NFS or CIFS locations on the network.

● Diagnostic Commands—Use this option to run diagnostic commands and parameters to troubleshoot the chassis network.

● Reset Management Module—Use this option to reboot the management module (MM) in a single management module

configuration, and perform a failover in a dual MM configuration.
