14. Configure Topology of Enclosure If Necessary
14. Configure Topology of Enclosure If
Necessary
See the target system topology (Tetra 8 or Tetra 16) that you recorded on Worksheet 1
under Current Topology. Perform these steps to configure the same topology on the
enclosure you are adding:
Plan for Possible Recabling
When you attach this enclosure to the target system, you might have to recable and
reconfigure it. Whether you must do this depends on:
•
The topology of your target system
•
Where you are adding this enclosure in that topology
An enclosure probably must be recabled or reconfigured if you add it to a Tetra 16
topology as any group in the sequence 05 through 08 or 51 through 89.
13. Click Refresh after approximately one
minute.
If the correct version of the SP firmware
is displayed in the Service Processor
(SPs) list, the update is successful.
14. Click Close.
15. When the update and reset finish successfully, repeat this procedure, starting with
Step 2, for the SP in slot 55 of this enclosure.
Caution. It is critical that you set the topology value correctly on each enclosure you add. This
value must always match the value on the target system.
Step Action Result
1. In the initial OSM or TSM Low-Level
Link window (before system discovery),
click the System Actions button.
The Attributes box appears.
2. Click Show actions. The Actions dialog box appears.
3. Select the correct Topology to match the target system topology:
Select Target System Topology
Set Topology to Tetra 16 Tetra 16
Set Topology to Tetra 8 Tetra 8
4. Click Perform Action. The Status listing tracks the action.
5. When the action is listed as Complete, click Close.
6. Click System Discovery. When the Management window appears,
the Topology value in the details pane
should indicate the change.
