9.2.1 Maintenance LED

This section explains how to operate maintenance LEDs.
Activating a server blade's maintenance LED make it easy to identify a server from others. When replacing servers, it is recommended to
use this function to identify which server blade should be replaced.
To activate the maintenance LED of a managed server running either a physical OS or a VM host, the server should be placed into
maintenance mode first.
For details on maintenance mode, refer to "Appendix C Maintenance Mode" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators
(Resource Management) CE".
Note
-
Maintenance LED control is only available for PRIMERGY BX servers. The actual LED used as an identification LED differs between
server models.
-
For PRIMERGY BX600 servers, the power LED is used (blinks when activated).
-
For PRIMERGY BX900 servers, the ID indicator is used (lit when activated).
-
If SNMP agent settings within the management blade configuration are incorrect, maintenance LED operations in Resource
Orchestrator will end successfully, but the state of the identification LED will not change. Configure the settings correctly, referring
to "8.2 Configuring the Server Environment" in the "Design Guide CE".
