Configuring the D3 Chassis

Use the information in this topic to understand the D3 Chassis settings.

Click Chassis under Server Configuration to view information about the D3 Chassis.

Chassis Information

This section displays the chassis information, including UUID, serial number, machine type and firmware version. It also shows the nodes information, including form factor, power status and IP address.

Note

• Click the Reset/Reseat button next to the corresponding node to restart the node or simulate a physical node reseat.

• Only the caretaker node can reset or reseat other nodes.

Chassis Firmware Update

This section shows the firmware version of the chassis PSU and PSoC modules, and allows you to update the firmware of those components.

Note

Only the caretaker node can perform these updates.

Chassis Caretaker Role

This section displays the chassis caretaker selection preference.

Note

• Select Participate to the chassis caretaker role to enable a node to participate to the caretaker election process. If there is another node designated as permanent caretaker then no election process will occur, unless that node is absent.

• Select Designate this node as a permanent chassis caretaker if you want only one node to be the caretaker. In that case, there is no high availability for the caretaker role. If the permanent caretaker node is absent from the chassis, then caretaker election process will occur to select the next suitable caretaker.

Chassis Maintenance History

The chassis maintenance history retains a record of nodes being added or removed in the chassis, as well as caretaker role changing from one node to another.
