Using the Chassis Manager to manage a chassis

View chassis properties and manage a chassis with the Chassis Manager and Chassis Map in the IBM® Flex System Manager management software web interface.

Click Chassis Manager in the management software web interface to open a list of chassis that are under management. Click the name of the chassis that you want to manage to open the Chassis Map.

The Chassis Manager Chassis Map has two types of views: graphical and table. After you click the name of the chassis that contains the compute node that you want to manage, the graphical Chassis Map opens. From the graphical view, click the image to select it. A selected chassis is shown in the following illustration.

Alternatively, click Table View. From the table view, right-click the compute node name in the table. The Actions menu for the compute node opens, as shown in the following illustration. To perform an action to multiple compute nodes at once, you can select the compute nodes in the table view; then, right-click one of the selected compute nodes or click the Actions menu to choose the action that you want to perform.

Regardless of how you select the chassis, the Details tabs for the selected chassis and the Actions menu are displayed below the Chassis Map. Click an action category, and then click the action, as shown in the following illustration.
