Changing the Blade Server Status

This section applies only to the blade chassis with an integrated KVM switch, such as Dell PowerEdge and IBM BladeCenter series.

If the "Installed" status for the corresponding blade server or slot is not enabled on the KX2/KX3 device, CC-SG always shows "Down" as the port status of the blade server. When you are sure some blade slots are live with blade servers installed, you should change their status on the KX2/KX3 device to make CC-SG reflect the status properly.

  1. Click the Devices tab and select the KX2/KX3 device whose blade slot status you want to change.
  2. Choose Devices > Device Manager > Launch Admin. The KX2 or KX3 Admin Client opens.
  3. Choose Device Settings > Port Configuration.
  4. Click the blade chassis port that you want to configure.
  5. Scroll down the page until you see the blade slots section. Select the Installed checkbox next to the blade slots that are live with blade servers installed.
  6. Click OK to save the changes.
