NOTE: By default, the first port is connected with the dongle to the front of blade 1 (that is, server
1). If server 1 is down, move the dongle to another blade.

Using the serial link on the Onboard Administrator

If you are connected to a terminal server, you can log in through the serial link on the Onboard
Administrator.

Booting the system and individual server blades

Before booting the system, ensure that all of the system components other than the server blades—the
capacity blocks or performance modules and so on—are turned on. By default, server blades boot
whenever power is applied to the system performance chassis (c-Class Blade enclosure). If all server
blades are powered off, you can boot the system as follows:
1. Press the power button on server blade 1.
2. Log in as root to server 1.
3. Power on the remaining server blades:
ibrix_server -P on -h <hostname>
NOTE:

Management interfaces

Cluster operations are managed through the X9000 Fusion Manager, which provides both a GUI
and a CLI. Most operations can be performed from either the GUI or the CLI.
The following operations can be performed only from the CLI:
SNMP configuration (ibrix_snmpagent, ibrix_snmpgroup, ibrix_snmptrap,
ibrix_snmpuser, ibrix_snmpview)
Health checks (ibrix_haconfig, ibrix_health, ibrix_healthconfig)
Raw storage management (ibrix_pv, ibrix_vg, ibrix_lv)
Fusion Manager operations (ibrix_fm) and Fusion Manager tuning (ibrix_fm_tune)
File system checks (ibrix_fsck)
Kernel profiling (ibrix_profile)
Cluster configuration (ibrix_clusterconfig)
Configuration database consistency (ibrix_dbck)
Shell task management (ibrix_shell)
The following operations can be performed only from the GUI:
Scheduling recurring data validation scans
Scheduling recurring software snapshots
