Accessing the Appliance The management system is the computer from which you configure and monitor the Infoblox appliance. You can access the appliance from the management system remotely across an Ethernet network or directly through a serial cable. After completing the steps in...
You can disable LCD input functionality. To disable the LCD, refer to the NIOS Administrator Guide. Console Port The Infoblox appliance has a male DB-9 console port on the front panel. You can log in to the appliance through this port and specify initial network settings using the Infoblox CLI.
A Grid is a group of two or more Infoblox appliances that share sections of a common, distributed, built-in database and which you configure and monitor through a single, secure point of access—the Grid Master. To set up a Grid, you must configure a single or HA Grid Master and at least one Grid member, which can also be a single appliance or an HA pair.

The Infoblox CLI allows you to configure and monitor the appliance using a small set of Infoblox commands. There are some tasks, such as resetting the appliance, that you can only do through the CLI. You can access the Infoblox CLI through a direct console connection from your management system to the Infoblox appliance.
To see a detailed status report, log in to the Infoblox GUI and from the Grid -> Grid Manager tab, select the appliance, and then click the Detailed Status icon. (For more information on the Detailed Status panel, refer to the Infoblox Administrator Guide.)

The Infoblox GUI also displays detailed status of the RAID array. In the event of a disk failure, you must replace the failed disk with one that is qualified and shipped from Infoblox and has the same disk type as the rest of the disks in the array.
Hot-swapping a disk drive is a simple process that does not require issuing commands or a GUI operation. When you replace a failed disk, you must replace it with an Infoblox supplied disk. To ensure that you receive the correct replacement disk, report the disk type or part number of the failed disk.

Grid name, are saved and restored when you replace a failed disk drive. Disk Array Guidelines Infoblox has designed the disk array to be completely self managed. There are no maintenance procedures required for a normally functioning disk array. Mishandling the disk array can cause an unrecoverable error and result in a failed appliance.
Changing Fan Modules The Trinzic Reporting 2200 ships with five hot-swappable fan modules, so you can replace a fan module without interrupting appliance operations. Each fan has an air vent that allows warm air to flow out of the appliance.
When any of the power supply fails for any reason, the Infoblox GUI displays a power supply alarm. The Grid Status widget on the Dashboard of the GUI also displays an error. The appliance sends an email notification and reports an SNMP trap.
