When the option is set to Off, the fan speed will increase without concern for acoustic noise limits. A numeric value of 5 indicates the highest priority for remaining within acoustic noise limits by limiting the amount the fan speed can be increased. As a result, this setting increases the possibility that the node might have to be throttled to remain within the acoustic noise limit. As the setting number increases, less priority is placed on remaining within acoustic noise limits.
• NEBS/Acoustic Attenuation (Carrier-Grade Chassis only) -

  • If NEBS Cooling Mode Override is not selected, the user can set a policy for how quickly the chassis fan speed increases if there is a thermal event on the selected node. When the option is set to Off, the fan speed will increase without concern for acoustic noise limits. A numeric value of 5 indicates the highest priority for remaining within acoustic noise limits by limiting the amount the fan speed can be increased. As a result, this setting increases the possibility that the node might have to be throttled to remain within the acoustic noise limit. As the setting number increases, less priority is placed on remaining within acoustic noise limits.

• Policies - Contains options to configure power policies for power redundancy, in case of power module failure, and power limiting. The following policies are available on the Policies tab:
  • Power Redundancy Policy - Options to configure a backup power source for the chassis. The following options are available:
    • Power Source Redundancy - This option is intended for dual power supplies in the chassis. Maximum input power is limited to the capacity of half the number of installed power modules. This is the most conservative approach and is recommended when all power modules are installed. When the chassis is wired with redundant power sources, one power source can fail without affecting compute node operation. Some compute nodes might not be allowed to power on if doing so would exceed the policy power limit.
    • Power Source Redundancy with Compute Node Throttling Allowed - This option is similar to the Power Source Redundancy policy; however, this policy allows higher input power, however capable compute nodes might be allowed to throttle down if one power source fails.
    • Power Module Redundancy - Intended for a single power source in the chassis where each power module has its own dedicated circuit. The maximum input power is limited to the power of one less than the total number of power modules when more than one power module is present. One power module can fail without affecting compute node operation. Multiple power module failures can cause the chassis to power off. Some compute nodes might not be allowed to power on if doing so would exceed the policy power limit.
    • Power Module Redundancy with Compute Nodes Throttling Allowed - This option enables higher input power, similar to the Power Module Redundancy option. Some compute nodes might be able to throttle down if a power module fails.
    • Basic Power Management - The maximum input power is higher than the other policies and is limited only by the indicated power of all the power modules combined. This is the least conservative option, with no protection for power source or power module failure. When a power supply fails, compute node or chassis operation might be affected.
  • Power Limiting/Capping Policy - Policies for limiting the total amount of power that the chassis is allowed to consume overall.
    • No Power Limiting - Maximum input power is determined by the active Power Redundancy Policy.
    • Static Power Limiting - Sets an overall chassis limit on the maximum input power. In a situation where powering on a component will cause the limit to be exceeded, the component will not be permitted to power on.
• Hardware - The Hardware tab provides the following options to monitor the overall chassis power status and individual power module information:
  • Total DC Power Available - All of the power that is available for the chassis.

    • Maximum Allocated Power - Upper limit of allocated power for the component.
• Power History - Chart of the power consumption history for this chassis. The range of the vertical axis corresponds to the maximum power, in watts, that is allocated for the chassis.
• Power Scheduling - Contains options to create one or more profiles to automate power actions for a component in the chassis. For example, to save energy, a user might want to power off a compute node at a certain time every night, and then power it back on every morning. To set up a power profile, a user defines a group specification, which identifies a component or set of components that meet a criteria for inclusion in the group.
  Note

  This function is currently supported only for compute nodes.

The Chassis Internal Network page enables the user to monitor the status of CIN sessions and change CIN parameters. The following tabs are available:

• General - Contains the options to enable or disable the CIN function globally. One of the following check boxes is available, depending on the CIN current state:
  • Enable Chassis Internal Network - Activates the CIN
    • Management module reads the CIN entries
    • When an entry is enabled and the CIN VLAN ID is new and does not have a CIN interface, a new CIN interface based on that CIN VLAN ID is created. Use the CIN IP address from the entry to create a host route.
    • When an entry is enabled and the CIN IP address is 0.0.0.0, start ARP monitoring.
  • Disable Chassis Internal Network - Deactivates the CIN
    • Stops all ARP monitoring
    • Deletes all host routes
    • Deletes all CIN interfaces
• Status - Contains a summary list of all CIN sessions in a table. The following properties are available for the list of CIN sessions:
  • CIN VLAN ID - Virtual LAN (VLAN) ID supporting CIN
  • CIN IP Address - IP address communicating on the CIN. An asterisk (*) after the address indicates that the address was dynamically created and not configured by the user.
  • CIN MAC - MAC address associated with the IP address.
  • Status - CIN connection status:
    • Operational - CMM can ping the CIN IP address.
    • Not Operational - The CMM cannot ping the CIN IP address. Verify that the compute node and the I/O module are configured properly and the configurations are compatible with those of the CMM.
    • Disabled - CIN configuration was disabled by a CMM administrator.
• Configuration - Contains a table of CIN entries that allows you to define, enable, disable, or delete CIN entries. A maximum of 14 CIN configuration entries are supported. The table columns are as follows:
  • Bay - Index between 1 and 14 (inclusive) to identify the CIN configuration.
  • CIN VLAN ID - Virtual LAN (VLAN) ID that supports CIN. Values can range from 3 to 4094 (inclusive). These VLAN IDs cannot be the same as the one used for Serial over LAN (SOL).
• Configuration
  • CIN IP Address - IP address that is allowed to communicate on the CIN. The value of 0.0.0.0 indicates that any IP address can communicate on the CIN. In this case, the CMM listens on the CIN VLAN ID and learns the IP addresses dynamically. If you want to restrict the addresses, you must define each IP address specifically. CIN entries cannot have matching IP addresses, with the exception of 0.0.0.0. Multiple CIN entries with an IP address of 0.0.0.0 are allowed, provided that the VLAN IDs are different. The IP address of a CIN entry cannot be multicast or match the CMM IP address. If the CIN IP address is 0.0.0.0, the compute node IP address for the CIN that is configured in the compute node operating system cannot be in the same subnet as the CMM.
  • Enable - Column that allows the user to enable, disable, or delete a CIN configuration:
    • Enabled - The CMM reads the entry and creates a new CIN interface if the CIN VLAN ID is new and does not have a CIN interface, and then adds a host route and monitors communication path. ARP monitoring is started if the IP is set to 0.0.0.0.
    • Disabled - The host route is deleted. If this is the last IP address that uses the CIN interface, ARP monitoring is stopped if the IP is 0.0.0.0 and the CIN interface is deleted if there is no other entry that depends on it.

• MAC Addresses - Contains summary information for all installed chassis devices that have MAC addresses.
• Unique IDs - Contains summary information for all installed chassis devices that have unique identifiers, including Fibre Channel WWNs, storage SAS IDs, and Infiniband GUIDs. The device type indicators: W, S, or G, are added after the name value to identify the type of device.
• Firmware Analysis - Contains the primary firmware levels of installed nodes in the chassis. This information is grouped by machine type/model and groups two or more nodes with the same type/model. This information is intended to be used for determining which components might need firmware upgrades.
• Component Firmware - Contains a listing of all installed firmware for compute nodes, storage nodes, node network cards, and switches.
• IP Addresses - Contains a listing of all IP address information for compute nodes, storage nodes, and switches.
