15 PowerEdge MX7000 Server Configuration using OME Modular
Preview of enhancements in the upcoming releases
OME Modular 1.20.00 : Following are some of the bug fixes/enhancements in this
release:
- Ability to physically move a server with a device profile deployed to a different
chassis in the same domain:
The enhanced behavior allows movement of the server with a device profile to a
different chassis in the same domain and continue to report the virtual identities
(MAC/WWNs) as assigned to the server as expected.
- Attach and Apply a slot profile to the occupied slot immediately: If a slot is
occupied with a server at the time of attaching a profile to a slot via Chassis
→
Hardware
→
Chassis Slots wizard, then there will be an option to “Attach and
Apply Immediately” without requiring a physical remove/insert of the occupied
server.
- Configuration wizard enhancement : Configuration → Deploy → Deploy
Template wizard can be used for attaching “Slot profile” to slots and deploying
“device profile” to servers. The wizard enhancement now provides for explicit
selection of slots and servers for “slot profile” and “device profile” respectively.
- Single step cleanup of slot profile: When the attached slot profile is no longer
needed, it must be cleaned up from both the slot and any occupied server which
has a slot profile deployed on it. With the fix, it only requires one step; navigate to
Chassis
→
Hardware
→
Chassis Slots, select the slots and click “Detach Profile”.
The profile will be detached from the slot and any virtual identities(MAC/WWNs)
provisioned on the server will be reclaimed.
Future OME Modular Versions: Following are some of the planned enhancements:
- Ability to re-use the pre-provisioned virtual identities (MAC/WWNs) as
desired:
After a deployment, administrator can detach the “device profile” or “slot profile”
and have it available as a standby profile. This profile with its MAC/WWNs can
be redeployed to same device/slot or another device/slot as desired thus
providing flexible options to administrator to address workload movement, part
replacement, etc. use cases.
