11.4.3 Restoring the configuration of a server blade slot
In a few rare cases (e. g. when the network connection to the management
blade is interrupted), an error may occur during the assignment of a server pro-
file to a server blade slot. In this case, the following errors may occur:
l
The configuration of one or several IBP modules is not correct.
In this case, proceed as described in section "Restoring an IBP module
configuration" (see
"Restoring VIOM-specific configurations" on page
).
l
The virtualization data (virtual I/O addresses and possibly also boot
parameters) of the profile have not been written correctly. In this case,
the corresponding slot on the Setup tab indicates the status Fault.
Here, you can use the Restore Slot button on the Setup tab to rewrite
the virtualization data.
If a server blade is in the slot, the server blade must be disabled
for a Restore Slot.
Replacing the front control blade
If the front control blade of a blade server needs to be replaced, the con-
figuration has to be restored for each slot. This means you have to carry out
Restore Slot for each server blade slot.
In this case, VIOM also provides an option that allows you to restore the
entire chassis (see section
"Restoring the blade server chassis con-
).
l
The Virtual-IO Manager does not automatically recognize that
the front control board has been replaced and hence all the relat-
ed virtualization data has been lost.
l
Before you restore the configuration of the slots or the entire con-
figuration of the blade server chassis after replacing the front
control board, you first have to carry out the base configuration
of the management blade.
