c3000 enclosure configuration (provided for reference only)

The c3000 enclosure should have these components:







IntroductionThe Insight Display component of the c3000/c7000 enclosure enables you to specify theinitial enclosure configuration and view the health and operational status of theenclosure.

If the enclosure is not configured, the Insight Display will display the Enclosure Settingsscreen. You use this screen to specify various enclosure specifications, including theenclosure name and the Onboard Administrator IP address.

The color of the Insight Display screen varies with the state of the enclosure:

Blue—The Insight Display illuminates blue when the enclosure is powered up forthe first time. At this point, the enclosure UID illuminates automatically. You canalso illuminate the enclosure UID manually by selecting Turn Enclosure UID on fromthe Insight Display Main Menu or by pressing the enclosure UID button on themanagement interposer (Onboard Administrator sleeve).

When the enclosure UID is illuminated, the Insight Display flashes blue after twominutes of inactivity. Pressing any button on the Insight Display stops the flashingand reactivates the screen.

Green—The Insight Display illuminates green when no error or alert conditions existand the enclosure is operating normally.

Amber—The Insight Display is amber when it detects an error or alert condition. Theerror details are displayed on the screen.

Blank—The Insight Display has a two-minute inactivity period. If no action is takenand no alert condition exists, the light of the Insight Display turns off after twominutes. Pressing any button on the display panel reactivates the screen.

! ImportantThe Insight Display has two modes to notify if an error condition exists.Normally, the Insight Display flashes amber, indicating an error or alertcondition. If the enclosure UID is on and an error or alert condition exists, theInsight Display remains blue. The enclosure UID takes priority over the alertand a red X displays in the lower-left corner of the screen.

Using the Insight Display


Exercise 1—Accessing the HP BladeSystem c-ClassInsight Display

In this exercise, you will access the Insight Display remotely through the OnboardAdministrator. The OA GUI enables access to the Insight Display, but you must have the

OA already configured with an IP address and have the appropriate access rights.

Note

Updating OA firmware can result in problems accessing the OA GUI from yourbrowser. If you are experiencing such problems, clear your browsing history

by using the Tools Internet Options General or Tools DeleteBrowsing History in Internet Explorer (depending on the version of InternetExplorer).

Accessing the Insight Display directly

The Insight Display panel is available in the front of the HP BladeSystem c-Class

enclosure. Because such access requires a physical presence, it is not covered in this lab.However, it is very similar to the access through the Onboard Administrator.

Accessing the Insight Display through the Onboard Administrator

One method of accessing the Insight Display is through the Onboard Administrator GUI.However, you can use this method only if an IP address has already been assigned to theOnboard Administrator.

! ImportantTo access the Onboard Administrator GUI, either 1) the OA IP address must beconfigured through the Insight Display, or 2) the OA must have an IP addressassigned via DHCP.

To access the Insight Display through the Onboard Administrator GUI:

1. If necessary, log into your CMS with administrative credentials.

2. Open your browser and in the address field, type the IP address of the OnboardAdministrator (for example,https://192.168.200.100). Press Enter.
