9.2.2 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.
For PRIMERGY BX servers, the hardware properties are automatically reconfigured.

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.

-

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.

-

When replacing a PRIMERGY BX server, the replacement server must be inserted into the same slot as used for the replaced server

Hardware properties cannot be reconfigured from a server inserted in a different slot. An error occurs if no server is inserted in the
slot occupied by the previous 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.

To move a server to a different slot within a chassis, the server must be deleted first, and then registered again after being inserted in its
new slot.

Pre-Configuration

For PRIMERGY BX servers, the hardware properties are automatically reconfigured.

If automatic reconfiguration is not necessary for PRIMERGY BX servers, delete the following file, and then restart the manager.

Reconfiguring Hardware Properties after Server Replacement

If the definition file has already been created, there is no need to set the hardware information again.

If the definition file has not been created, use the following procedure to reconfigure properties for replaced hardware.
