Resynchronizing the Server List at the Remote Client Workstation

Once the KVM switch is connected, the server modules appear in OSCAR. You now need to
resynchronize the servers on any remote workstation to ensure that the server modules are now available
to any remote users that are connected to the console switch through the Remote Console Switch
software.

NOTE:

This procedure only resynchronizes one remote client workstation. With multiple client workstations, save

the resynchronized local database and load it into the other client workstations to ensure consistency.

To resynchronize the server listing:

1 Click Resync in the Server category of the Management Panel (MP).

The Resync Wizard launches.

2 Click Next.

A warning message displays indicating that the database will be updated to match the current
configuration of the console switch. Your current local database names will be overridden with the
switch names. To include unpowered SIPs in the resynchronization, click to enable the Include Offline
SIPs check box.

3 Click Next.

A Polling Remote Console Switch message box appears with a progress bar indicating that the switch
information is being retrieved.

4 If no changes were detected in the appliance, a completion dialog box appears with this information.

If server changes were detected, then the Detected Changes dialog box will be displayed. Click Next to
update the database.

5 If a cascade switch was detected, the Enter Cascade Switch Information dialog box appears. Select the

type of switch connected to the appliance from the drop-down list. If the type you are looking for is not
available, you can add it by clicking Add.

6 Click Next. The completion dialog box appears.
7 Click Finish to exit.
8 Start up the analog switch and the system.

Chassis I/O Module

A variety of I/O modules, such as Fibre Channel pass-through, Fiber Channel switch, Ethernet pass-
through, Infiniband pass-through, and PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet switch modules are available for
your system. Some I/O modules also require a supporting daughter card that must be installed inside
each server module that communicates with that particular I/O module. The system can accommodate
up to four hot-pluggable I/O modules.

You do not have to turn off the system to replace an I/O module of the same type; however, your network
connectivity does not return until the replacement module is installed and initialized.
