Procedure

  • View detailed information about the chassis by clicking the Details link or by clicking Actions > Views > Details.

  • Launch the CMM web interface for the chassis 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 Actions > Inventory > Edit Properties.

  • Modify the management IP settings for the entire chassis, including compute nodes and Flex switches, by clicking Actions > Inventory > Edit Management IP addresses.

    Tip
    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.

  • Resolve issues that might arise between the Lenovo XClarity Administrator security certificate and the security certificate of the CMM in the chassis by selecting a chassis and clicking Actions > Security > Resolve Untrusted Certificates.
