Recovering management of a Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series storage device after a management server failure

If a Lenovo ThinkSystem DE series storage device was not unmanaged correctly, you must recover the storage device before you can remanage it. You can recover management by clearing specific parts of the storage-device configuration that was previously set by Lenovo XClarity Administrator.

Procedure

Complete one of the following steps to recovery a Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series storage device.

  • If the replacement XClarity Administrator instance uses the same IP address as the failed XClarity Administrator, you can manage the device again using the Force management option (see Managing storage devices).

  • Remove the LXCA_REMOTE_MANAGMENT_VERIFICATION key-pair register from the storage device key-pair API.

After you finish

After XClarity Administrator is restored or replaced, you can manage the storage device again (see Managing storage devices). All information about the storage device (such as system properties) is retained.
