Adding a new chassis to the domain
To add a new chassis to the domain, you must add the BOFM configuration
to the BOFM configuration
file. You can either add it manually or use the generate feature to
create a new configuration file. In that case, define the ranges so
that they do not contain addresses that are already used by the current
configuration.
Replacing a blade in the same slot
When you replace a blade in a slot that is BOFM enabled,
the BOFM parameters
are automatically applied to the new blade before it is given power permission.
The boot sequence is not part of the BOFM configuration
and it is not pushed automatically.
Swapping addresses between blades
To swap the addresses of one blade to a different blade
in a different slot (potentially a different chassis), you can move
the BOFM configuration
from the first slot to the second.
Replacing AMM IP addresses
The BOFM configuration
is defined per AMM IP address. If you change the IP of the AMM in
a chassis and reapply the same BOFM configuration
file, then the BOFM configuration
changes. For example, assume that Chassis-A uses IP-A, and Chassis-B
uses IP-B, and you apply a BOFM configuration
for these two chassis. If you swap the IPs so that Chassis-A uses
IP-B, and Chassis-B uses IP-A, then re-apply the same BOFM configuration
file, the BOFM configuration
is swapped between the two chassis.
CLI command
You can apply a new configuration using the bofm CLI
command. To use the command, you must have a tftp server available
for uploading the configuration file.
