Active to Standby

When a second HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator is installed, the menu item Active to Standby

appears under the Enclosure Settings tree menu item, and both Onboard Administrators are visible in the tree

menu and in the enclosure view under the Status tab.
If more than one Onboard Administrator is installed in the enclosure, you can manually change which

Onboard Administrator is active. This feature can be useful when troubleshooting the Onboard Administrator

or if a second Onboard Administrator is installed with an older firmware version (and automatic transition is

disabled).
To perform a transition, click Transition Active to Standby to force the change. A confirmation screen
appears, confirming the transition and advising you to close your browser if you are signed into the Active

Onboard Administrator. Click OK to proceed, or click Cancel to exit without a change.

If only one Onboard Administrator is installed in the enclosure, the Active to Standby menu item does not

appear.

DVD drive

This screen enables you to connect multiple server blades in the enclosure to the shared DVD resource, launch

the iLO Remote Console, and use virtual power commands on the selected server blades. Information on this
page is current as of the last download. To view updated information, click Refresh.
