You can view the detailed information about the managed
chassis from Lenovo XClarity Administrator, including the firmware levels, IP addresses, and universally
unique identifier (UUID).
About this task
The system-level air temperature is
measured by a physical sensor at the front of the server. This temperature
represents inlet air temperature for the server. Note that the air
temperature that is reported by XClarity Administrator and the CMM might differ if the temperature is captured
at different points in time.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to view the details for a managed chassis.
- From the XClarity Administrator menu bar, click . The Chassis page is displayed with a tabular view of all managed chassis.
You can sort the table columns to make it easier to find
the chassis that you want to manage. In addition, you can enter text
(such as a chassis name or IP address) in the Filter field to further filter the chassis that are displayed.
- Click the chassis name in the Chassis column. The status summary page for that chassis is displayed, showing
the chassis properties and components that are installed in the chassis.
- Complete one or more of the following actions:
Click Summary to view a summary of the
chassis, including system information and installed components (see Viewing the status of a managed chassis).
Click
Inventory Details to view details
about the chassis components, including:
- Firmware levels for all components in the chassis.
- Details of the CMM, such as the hostname, IPv4 address, IPv6 address,
and MAC addresses.
- Asset details of the chassis and CMM installed in the chassis,
including name, universally unique identifier (UUID), and location.
Click Alerts to display the list of
current alerts for this chassis (see Working with alerts).
Click Event Log to display the list
of events for this chassis (see Monitoring events in the event log).
Click Jobs to display a list of jobs
associated with the chassis (see Monitoring jobs).
Click Light Path to display the current
status of the chassis LEDs, including Location, Fault, and Information.
This is the equivalent of looking at the front panel of the chassis.
Click
Power and Thermal to display details
about power and air flow.
Tip: Use the refresh button on your web browser to collect the
latest power and thermal data. Collecting data might take several
minutes.
Click Feature on Demand Keys to access
information that is needed to order a Feature on Demand key and other
agentless information (see Viewing Features on Demand keys).
After you finish
In addition to displaying summary and detailed information about
a chassis, you can perform the following actions:
- View a chassis in graphical rack or chassis view by clicking or .
- Launch the CMM web interface by clicking the IP address link (see Launching the CMM web interface for a chassis).
- Modify information (such as support contact, location and description)
by clicking Edit Properties (see Modifying the system properties for a chassis).
- Modify the management IP settings for the entire chassis, including
compute nodes and Flex switches, by clicking (see Modifying the management-IP settings for a chassis).
- Export detailed information about the chassis to a CSV file clicking
the .
Note:
For more information about inventory data in the CSV file,
see the GET /chassis/<UUID_list>.
When importing a CSV file into Microsoft
Excel, Excel treats text values that contain only numbers as numeric
values (for example, for UUIDs). Format each cell as text to correct
this error.
- Unmanage a chassis (see Unmanaging a chassis).
Enable or disable firewall rule changes on a chassis that limit
incoming requests only from XClarity Administrator by selecting the chassis and clicking or .
The global encapsulation setting is disabled by
default. When disabled, the device encapsulation mode is set to normal
and the firewall rules are not changed as part of the
management process.
The global encapsulation setting is disabled by
default. When disabled, the device encapsulation mode is set to normal
and the firewall rules are not changed as part of the
management process.
When the global encapsulation setting is enabled
and the device supports encapsulation, XClarity Administrator communicates with the device during the management process
to change the device encapsulation mode to encapsulationLite
and to change the firewall rules on the device to limit incoming
requests to those only from XClarity Administrator.
- Resolve issues that might arise between the XClarity Administrator security certificate and the security certificate of the
CMM in the chassis by selecting a chassis and clicking (see Resolving an untrusted server certificate).
