Problems when you create or apply a standby blade pool

This topic describes error conditions that might occur when you create a standby blade pool or apply the standby blade pool.

Table 1. Blade address configuration creation and application problems
Problem	Solution
Template failed to be applied.	Check that blades are not powered on. Check that you have discovered all of the chassis in the domain. Check that you do not have address duplications in the domain.
No chassis show up in the Available chassis box	Make sure that the chassis have been completely discovered.

Table 2. Standby blade pool creation and application problems
Problem	Solution
No blades show up in the available blades section.	Make sure that the blades and the BladeCenter® chassis have been completely detected.
Only the blades from one chassis appear in the available blades section.	When creating a standby pool through a targeted action only the blades from that chassis appear in the available blades section. To see all of the blades that have been detected, start BladeCenter Configuration Manager through an un-targeted action, such as clicking on the task.
Standby Blade Pool failed after manually applying to a blade.	Check that the blades in the standby pool have the same model and type as the source blade. Check that the standby blade pool does not contain only the source blade (a failover attempt to the same blade always fails). Check that the blades in the standby blade are powered off. Make sure that the Director plug-in for your network switches has been installed.
Standby Blade Pool failed to be applied after creating an event action plan and applying the event action plan to a blade.	Check the logs to make sure the event that you are filtering on was actually triggered. Make sure that the event action plan was applied to the correct blade. Check that the event was sent to the blade object and not just to the BladeCenter chassis.
