Dell 2 Adding Members To Chassis Group, Removing a Member from the Leader

To set up the Chassis Group using the CMC web interface:
1. Log in with chassis administrator privileges to the leader chassis.
2. Click Setup → Group Administration.
3. On the Chassis Group page, under Role, select Leader. A field to add the group name is displayed.
4. Type the group name in the Group Name field, and then click Apply.
NOTE: The same rules that apply for a domain name apply to the group name.
When the chassis group is created, the GUI automatically switches to the Chassis Group page. The
left pane indicates the group by the group name and the lead chassis, and the unpopulated member
chassis appear in the left pane.
Adding Members To Chassis Group
After the Chassis Group is set up, to add members to the group:
1. Log in with chassis administrator privileges to the leader chassis.
2. Select the lead chassis in the tree.
3. Click Setup → Group Administration.
4. Under Group Management, enter the member’s IP address or DNS name in the Hostname/IP
Address field.
5. In the User Name field, enter a user name with chassis administrator privileges for the member
chassis.
6. Type the corresponding password in the Password field.
7. Optionally, select Sync New Member with Leader Properties to push leader properties to the
member.
8. Click Apply.
9. To add a maximum of eight members, complete the tasks in step 4 through step 8. The chassis
names of the new members appear in the Members dialog box.
NOTE: The credentials entered for a member are passed securely to the member chassis to
establish a trust relationship between the member and lead chassis. The credentials are not
persisted on either chassis, and are never exchanged again after the initial trust relationship is
established.
Removing a Member from the Leader
You can remove a member from the group from the lead chassis. To remove a member:
1. Log in with chassis administrator privileges to the leader chassis.
2. In the left pane, select the lead chassis.
3. Click Setup → Group Administration.
4. From the Remove Members list, select the member’s name to be deleted, and then click Apply.
The lead chassis then communicates to the member or members, if more than one is selected, that it
has been removed from the group. The member name is removed. The member chassis may not
receive the message, if a network issue prevents contact between the leader and the member. In this
case, disable the member from the member chassis to complete the removal.
