13. Replace any external components that you removed in step 3 on page 14. 14. If this is the only management module in the BladeCenter unit, configure the new management module. See Chapter 4, "Configuring the management module," on page 25 for more information. If this is a standby management module, and you followed the instructions in "Preparing for management-module redundancy" on page 16, no configuration is necessary. 15. If you are using BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager (BOFM), perform the following steps to ensure BOFM configuration is properly copied to the secondary management module: a. From the AMM web interface, select MM Control → Restart AMM and click Switch Over. b. Wait until the original management module becomes primary. This may take several minutes. c. Wait for the system to synchronize the configuration. This may take up to an hour. d. If you want to change the primary management module, perform the switchover action again. The replaced management module becomes primary at this point and BOFM configuration is available on the new management module. The standby management module receives the configuration and status information automatically from the active management module. The transfer of information to the standby management module can take up to 45 minutes after it is installed. Removing a management module Notes: 1. These instructions assume that the BladeCenter unit is connected to power. 2. If you are replacing the only management module in the BladeCenter unit and the management module is functioning, save the configuration file before you proceed. See the management-module User's Guide or the Command-Line Interface Reference Guide for instructions for saving and restoring a configuration file. 3. If you have just installed a standby management module in the BladeCenter unit, do not remove the active management module for 1 hour; the standby management module needs the time to receive initial status information and firmware from the active management module. To remove a management module, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 11 through "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 12. Chapter 3. Installing a management module 15
