98 CHAPTER 5: MULTI-CHASSIS SUPPORT
Configuring Multi-Chassis Support
The Cuda 12000 ships with multi-chassis support enabled. During the initial
installation (or upgrade) of the Cuda operating system software, the Java
server checks for a multi-chassis support service property. If the property is
not found, the Java server automatically enables multi-chassis support, using
Jini as the chassis discovery mechanism on the local network.
When multi-chassis support is enabled, all chassis on the same physical
network register with each Jini lookup service. Chassis that have the same
group name form a multi-chassis group. By default, the Cuda 12000 ships
with multi-chassis support activated, and the local group name of Cuda.
You can use the CLI to manually enable and disable multi-chassis support
and to override the default group name with one of your own choosing. If
you override the default name, make sure that the new name you specify is
the correct group name (that is, it matches the group names configured on
other chassis in the group). In addition, you can also specify a group
description and access additional chassis using the connect command.
Perform these tasks to manually configure multi-service support on a chassis:
Tasks Commands
1. Enter configuration mode. root
2. Enable or disable multi-chassis
support, specify a group name,
or specify a description.
chassis {mcs {enable | disable} | group
<group name> | description <string>}
3. Display multi-chassis group
status.
show chassis {local | <ip-address>}
4. Access another chassis while in
the current log-in session.
connect <ip address>
