Disabling an Individual Member at the Member Chassis
Sometimes a member cannot be removed from a group by the lead chassis. This can happen if network connectivity to the member is lost.
To remove a member from a group at the member chassis:
1. Log in with chassis administrator privileges to the member chassis.
2. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview > Setup > Group Administration.
3. Select None, and then click Apply.
Accessing the Web page of a Member Chassis or Server
You can access the web page of the member chassis, remote console of the server, or the web page of the iDRAC server from the lead
chassis group page. If the member device has the same login credentials as the lead chassis, you can use the same credentials to access
the member device.
NOTE: Single Sign-On and Smart Card Login are not supported in Multiple Chassis Management. To access members by
Single Sign On from lead chassis requires a common username or password between Lead and members. Use of
common username or password works only with Active Directory, local, and LDAP users.
To navigate to member devices:
1. Log in to the lead chassis.
2. Select Group: name in the tree.
3. If a member CMC is the required destination, select Launch CMC for the required chassis.
If a server in a chassis is the required destination:
a. Select the image of the destination chassis.
b. In the chassis image that is displayed in the Health section, select the server.
c. In the box labeled Quick Links, select the destination device. A new window is displayed with the destination page or login screen.
NOTE: In MCM, all the Quick Links associated with the servers are not displayed.
Propagating Leader Chassis Properties to Member Chassis
You can apply the properties from the leader to the member chassis of a group. To synchronize a member with the leader properties:
1. Login with administrator privileges to the leader chassis.
2. Select the Lead chassis in the tree.
3. Click Setup > Group Administration.
4. In the Chassis Properties Propagation section, select one of the propagation types:
• On-Change Propagation — Select this option for automatic propagation of the selected chassis property settings. The property
changes are propagated to all current group members, whenever lead properties are changed.
• Manual Propagation — Select this option for manual propagation of the chassis group leader properties with its members. The
lead chassis property settings are propagated to group members only when a lead chassis administrator clicks Propagate.
5. In the Propagation Properties section, select the categories of lead configuration properties to be propagated to member chassis.
Select only those setting categories that you want identically configured, across all members of the chassis group. For example, select
Logging and Alerting Properties category, to enable all chassis in the group to share the logging and alerting configuration settings
of the lead chassis.
6. Click Save.
If On-Change Propagation is selected, the member chassis take on the properties of the leader. If Manual Propagation is selected,
click Propagate whenever you want to propagate the chosen settings to member chassis. For more information on propagation of
leader chassis properties to member chassis, see the Online Help.
Server Inventory for MCM group
A group is a lead chassis that has 0 to 8 chassis group members. The Chassis Group Health page displays all the member chassis and
allows you to save the server inventory report to a file, using standard browser download capability. The report contains data for:
• All servers currently in all the group chassis (including the leader).
