Disbanding a Chassis Group

To disband a chassis group from the lead chassis:

1.Log in with administrator privileges to the leader chassis.

2.Select the lead chassis in the left pane.

3.Click Setup Group Administration.

4.In the Chassis Group page, under Role, select None, and then click Apply.

The lead chassis then communicates to all the members that they have been removed from the group. The lead chassis can be assigned as a leader or member of a new group.

If a network issue prevents contact between the leader and the member, the member chassis may not receive the message. In this case, disable the member from the member chassis to complete the removal process.

Disabling an Individual Member at the Member Chassis

Sometimes a member cannot be removed from a group by the lead chassis. This can happen if network connectivity to the member is lost. To remove a member from a group at the member chassis:

1.Log in with chassis administrator privileges to the member chassis.

2.In the left pane, click Chassis Overview Setup Group Administration.

3.Select None, and then click Apply.

Accessing the Web page of a Member Chassis or Server

You can access the web page of the member chassis, remote console of the server, or the web page of the iDRAC server from the lead chassis group page. If the member device has the same login credentials as the lead chassis, you can use the same credentials to access the member device.

NOTE: Single Sign-On and Smart Card Login are not supported in Multiple Chassis Management. To access members by Single Sign On from lead chassis requires a common username or password between Lead and members. Use of common username or password works only with Active Directory, local, and LDAP users.

To navigate to member devices:

1.Log in to the lead chassis.

2.Select Group: name in the tree.

3.If a member CMC is the required destination, select Launch CMC for the required chassis. If a server in a chassis is the required destination:

a.Select the image of the destination chassis.

b.In the chassis image that appears in the Health section, select the server.

c.In the box labeled Quick Links, select the destination device. A new window is displayed with the destination page or login screen.
