Resetting Components

You can reset the active CMC, or virtually reseat servers making them to behave as if they were removed and reinserted. If the chassis has a standby CMC, resetting the active CMC causes a failover and the standby CMC becomes active.

NOTE: To reset components, you must have Debug Command Administrator privilege.

To reset the components using the CMC Web interface,

1.In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Troubleshooting → Reset Components. The Reset Components page is displayed.

2.To reset the active CMC, in the CMC Status section, click Reset/Failover CMC. If a standby CMC is present and a chassis is fully redundant, a failover occurs causing the standby CMC to become active. However, if a standby CMC is not present, the CMC that is available is rebooted.

3.To virtually reseat the server, in the Virtual Reseat Server section, select servers to reseat, and then click Apply Selections.

For more information, see the Online Help.

This operation causes the servers to behave as if they were removed and reinserted.
