9.3 Maintenance for Servers Other Than Blade Servers

This section explains server maintenance for servers other than blade servers.

9.3.1 Reconfiguration of Hardware Properties

This section explains how to reconfigure hardware properties for replaced hardware.
After hardware replacement, it is necessary to reconfigure Resource Orchestrator with the new hardware properties.
Note
-
Ensure this operation is performed only after the replacement of one of the following: a server itself, the NIC used for either the admin
or public LAN, or the HBA.
If it is not, there is a possibility that operations on the server will not run correctly.
-
When the system board or GSPB of a PRIMEQUEST server has been changed, ensure that this operation is performed.
If it is not, there is a possibility that operations on the server will not run correctly.
-
After replacing the hardware, the server status becomes "unknown". The appropriate status can be restored by reconfiguring the
hardware properties from the server.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be satisfied before this operation can be performed:
-
Both the replaced server and replacement server must be the same model
A warning message is shown if the model of the replacement server differs from that of the replaced server.
-
The replaced server and replacement server must both be of the same blade type
If the blade types of the replaced and replacement servers are different, an error will occur.
