Adding Members to Chassis Group
After the Chassis Group is setup, you can add members to the group:
1.
Login with chassis administrator privileges to the leader chassis.
2.
Select the Lead chassis in the tree.
3.
Click Setup → Group Administration.
4.
Under Group Management, enter the member’s IP address or DNS name in the Hostname/IP Address field.
5.
Enter a user name with chassis administrator privileges on the member chassis, in the Username field.
6.
Enter the corresponding password in the Password field.
7.
Click Apply.
8.
Repeat step 4 through step 8 to add a maximum of eight members. The new members’ Chassis Names appear in the
Members dialog box.
The status of the new member is displayed by selecting the Group in the tree. Details are available by clicking on
the chassis image or the details button.
NOTE: The credentials entered for a member are passed securely to the member chassis, to establish a trust
relationship between the member and lead chassis. The credentials are not persisted on either chassis, and
are never exchanged again after the initial trust relationship is established.
For information on propagation of leader chassis properties to member chassis, see the
Chassis Properties to Member Chassis
Removing a Member from the Leader
You can remove a member from the group from the lead chassis. To remove a member:
1.
Login with chassis administrator privileges to the leader chassis.
2.
Select the Lead chassis in the tree.
3.
Click Setup → Group Administration.
4.
From the Remove Members list, select the member’s name or names to be deleted, and then click Apply.
The lead chassis then communicates to the member or members, if more than one is selected, that it has been
removed from the group. The member name is removed. The member chassis may not receive the message, if a
network issue prevents contact between the leader and the member. In this case, disable the member from the
member chassis to complete the removal.
