HP Insight Orchestration 6.3 User Guide

The server profile and boot disk are preserved, enabling an administrator to determine the cause
of the failure and perform any required maintenance before returning the server blade to a user
pool. Manual clean-up of the failed server blade depends on the deployment server used to provision
it.
For Insight Control server deployment:
1. Power on the server blade.
You might need to cycle the power if the server blade is stuck.
2. Make sure that the attached boot LUN erases, by doing one of the following:
• Run the Erase ProLiant ML/DL/BL Array Configuration {LinuxPE} job
from the Insight Control server deployment console. This is the preferred option.
• Alternatively power on the server blade, then press F9, and select Advanced
Options→Erase Boot Disk.
3. Verify that the server blade is powered off after completing the preceding step. You may need
to power off the server blade.
4. Manually delete the server blade from the Insight Control server deployment console.
For Ignite-UX
1. Power on the server blade and allow it to boot the operating system.
2. From the CMS, run the mxtool Ignite Erase Disks by typing this command into a Windows
command prompt:
* mxexec –t “Ignite Erase Disks” –n <ip>
* where <ip> is the IP address of the Ignite server being cleaned
For HP Server Automation:
1. Power on the server blade.
2. Press F9, and select Advanced Options, Erase Boot Disk.
3. Boot again, and press F9 again, and select the NIC as the first boot device.
4. Verify that the server blade is powered off after completing the above step. You may need to
power off the blade server.
After completing the previous steps based on the deployment server being used, do the following
to allow the storage pool entry to be selected in a future provisioning request:
1. Deactivate the associated HP Insight Dynamics logical server (if it is active) by using the HP
Insight Dynamics menu: Tools→Logical Servers→Deactivate.
2. After the associated HP Insight Dynamics logical server is inactive, delete the HP Insight
Dynamics logical server using HP Insight Dynamics menu: Delete→Delete Logical Server.
In the Delete Logical Server screen, enter Yes for Type YES to proceed with this
operation: to confirm the operation.
NOTE: Do not select the Unmanage Logical Server option. Doing so will cause the logical
server storage pool entry to be modified to contain new WWNs without regard to presentation
or zoning. Follow the procedure in “Configuring storage pool entries, FC zones, and disk
array presentations” (page 114) to resolve this issue.
3. Verify that the VC profile associated with the failed server blade exists in Virtual Connect
Enterprise Manager. If the profile exists, unassign and delete the VC profile associated with
the failed server blade from Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager.
