Perform OSM actions to load and verify the blade files
Procedure
-
Use the OSM System Configuration Tool to perform the
Configure Processor Blade action to ensure that the server blade has the files and configuration information necessary to boot.
Upon performing a hard reset, as prompted by the Configure Processor Blade action, the new Processor Blade will be running the same HSS firmware as the existing processors on the system.
-
Use the OSM System Startup Tool to verify the state of the affected processor (it can take 5 minutes or longer to reach
Halt %100212
):- Click Processor Status.
- Verify that the Processor Status is
PON - No OS image (Halt %100212)
.NOTE:You might find that the processor is no longer halted if Tandem Failure Data System (TFDS) or another tool or utility caused an automatic reload.
-
Use the OSM HSS and HCA Firmware Management Tool to update the HCA firmware on the blade.
- Select the Update HCA Firmware option.
- After logging in, check the running HCA Version of the newly replaced processor and compare it with the HCA Version for the selected HSS distribution.
- If the HCA firmware needs to be updated, select the newly replaced processor from the Select Processor for HCA update dropdown box.
- The update can take 10 minutes or more to complete.
-
Use the Onboard Administrator to perform the Launch iLO URL action on the Processor Blade object associated with the server blade you added or replaced. No credentials are required.
NOTE:
If the iLO interface fails by trying to connect to
http://0.0.0.0
, wait two minutes and try again.
