Using OFM-Advanced upgrade This topic contains information on using OFM-Advanced upgrade, including program launch and chassis discovery, creating a standby blade pool profile, creating an event action plan and manually applying a failover configuration profile. Important: You must to configure the AMM to enable OFM-Advanced upgrade access. The following network protocols will need to be set on the AMM: File Transfer Protocol (FTP) 1. From the AMM Web interface access the MM Control → Network Protocols page. 2. Click on the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) link and make sure that it is set to Enabled. TCP Command Mode Protocol 1. From the AMM Web interface access the MM Control → Network Protocols page. 2. Click on the TCP Command Mode Protocol link and make sure that the Command mode is set to 20 connections. Discovering a chassis There are two methods for adding a BladeCenter chassis in IBM Director Console. You can have IBM Director discover a chassis automatically, or you can manually add a chassis to the IBM Director Console interface. Follow these steps to perform chassis discovery. Discovering a chassis automatically You can have IBM Director discover a BladeCenter chassis automatically. Note: Discovery is a background process; you will not see any confirmation that discovery is occurring until managed objects appear in IBM Director Console. To discover a BladeCenter chassis automatically: 1. Start IBM Director Console. 2. Select Tasks → Discover → BladeCenter Chassis. Adding a chassis manually You can manually add a BladeCenter chassis for IBM Director to manage. Before you can add a BladeCenter chassis, you must configure the IP address of the management module through the AMM's Web interface to a value other than the default value. To add a BladeCenter chassis to IBM Director: 1. Start IBM Director Console. 2. Manually add your BladeCenter chassis by selecting: Console → New → Managed Objects → BladeCenter Chassis. 3. Specify the Chassis Name, IP Address, User ID and password for the chassis. Chapter 5. Using OFM and OFM-Advanced upgrade 25

Adding
a
chassis
manually
You
