To add or remove a chassis from the Chassis Manager view in the web interface, click the General Actions menu in the Common Actions area; then, click Add or Remove a Chassis. The Management Domain page opens, where you can discover and manage a new chassis or remove an existing chassis.
Note: The Common Actions area (beside the table or graphical view) is not labeled unless a managed resource has been selected. The General Actions menu is displayed regardless of whether a resource is selected.
Important:
  • Before you unmanage a chassis, make sure that you complete the procedures that are described in Unmanaging a chassis. Otherwise, the compute nodes in that chassis will not be removed from the management software.
  • If you have to remove a Flex System Manager Types 7955, 8731, and 8734 management node from a chassis, be sure to unmanage the chassis (or remove the chassis) from the management node management domain before you remove the node.
