4. In the Hot Spare Configuration section, select the Enable Hot Spare to configure the Hot Spare primary grid. The Hot Spare feature facilitates voltage regulation when power utilization by Power Supply Unit (PSUs) is low, considering the total output capacity of the PSU. By default, the Hot Spare is enabled. When the Hot Spare is enabled, a redundant PSU is put in sleep state when the power utilization is low. The Hot Spare is not enabled if the: ● PSU redundancy is inactive. ● Power budget of the system configuration exceeds the PSU output capacity. ● Grid Redundancy Policy is not selected. The MX7000 PSUs support the Hot Spare feature with three PSU pairs. The feature enables a PSU pair to have one active PSU and one PSU in sleep mode while the enclosure power consumption is low, and the three PSU pairs meet all the power requirements for the enclosure. This enables efficient power utilization when the overall enclosure power requirement is low. The partner PSU wakes the paired PSU from sleep mode by sending a WAKE signal when the enclosure power requirement increases. The PSU pairs for MX7000 are PSUs: 1 & 4, 2 & 5, and 3 & 6. 5. From the Primary Grid option, select the PSU where you want to enable the Hot Spare, from the drop-down. 6. Click Apply to save the chassis power settings. Configure chassis management network You can configure the network settings for the management modules that are inserted into an MX7000 chassis. ● LAN/NIC interface ● IPv4 ● IPv6 ● DNS Information ● Management VLAN To configure the chassis network: 1. Click Devices > Chassis > View Details > Settings > Network. The Network configuration section is expanded. 2. In the General Settings section, you can enable or disable NIC, Register with DNS, and Auto Negotiation. By default, the Enable NIC check box is selected. If you enable Register with DNS, then enter the DNS Name of the chassis that you want to register with a DNS server. You can access OME-Modular using the existing FQDN even after the Register with DNS option is disabled in the application. This is because the earlier option remains in the Network cache or the DNS Server cache, based on the configured Time to live (TTL). NOTE: You can only access the FQDN temporarily. NOTE: Clear the cache in the DNS after the Register with DNS is disabled, to prevent logging in with the FQDN address. NOTE: If the Register with DNS option is enabled, you cannot modify the Enable VLAN option. 3. Enter the DNS Name. The DNS name can have a maximum of 58 characters. The first character must be an alphanumeric character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), followed by numeric characters or a hyphen (-). 4. Enable or disable the Use DHCP for DNS Domain Name option and turn the Auto Negotiation on or off. If the Use DHCP for DNS Domain Name is disabled, then enter the DNS Domain Name. NOTE: You can enable Use DHCP for DNS Name only if IPv4 or IPv6 has DHCP configured. OME-Modular obtains its DNS domain name from either a DHCP or DHCPv6 server when Use DHCP for DNS Name is enabled. If Auto Negotiation is false or disabled, you can choose network port speed. NOTE: Setting Auto Negotiation to false and choosing a network port speed may result in the chassis losing link to the network switch in Top of Rack, or to the neighbor chassis, if running MCM. It is recommended that the Auto Negotiation is set to true for most use cases. 28 Logging in to OME-Modular
