It is also important that the members of a stack have a unique "user
assigned" name in the MMB and that the stack member IDs of the par-
ticipating connection blades are set to 1 before building the stack.
The typical procedure for correct handling by VIOM is:
l Configure the stack by enabling the blade server internal stacking links
and by connecting SB11 connection blades in different fabrics of the
same chassis by special stacking cables.
l Check that the blade server management blade correctly shows the stat-
us of the stack. For this it is important that all members of the stack
show the same IP address, which must be the IP address of the stack
master. The stacking status in MMB must be Master for exactly one
member of the stack and must be Member for all other members of the
stack. As long as these two conditions are not fulfilled, VIOM will not be
able to handle the stack correctly.
l Update the information for this blade server chassis in ServerView Oper-
ations Manager by performing the “explore” action for the blade server
chassis
l Perform the “Refresh” action in VIOM user interface so that also VIOM
has the updated information about the changed configuration. The last
two actions will also be done automatically when waiting about two or
three minutes (this also depends on the refresh interval configured in
ServerView Operations Manager).
It is not supported to change the stack configuration while the blade server
chassis is managed by VIOM. If it is needed to change the stack con-
figuration, the chassis is to be unmanaged in VIOM before changing the con-
figuration.
