Introduction

The Chassis Manager (CM) runs directly on your switch to help you quickly and easily perform various administration tasks. This chapter discusses the various components of the interface. CM runs on all switches.

Anatomy of Chassis Manager

CM runs in a standard Web browser and displays information in standard HTML formats. The GUI consists primarily of the following three frames:

• System frame

• Tree frame

•View frame

System Frame

The System frame appears above the Tree and View frames and provides basic system information and links to FRUs. Figure 1-1 displays an example of the CM System frame.

Figure 1-1: System Frame

• Click the IP address in the IP Address field of the System frame to open a telnet window that launches a CLI session to the switch.

• Click the email address in the Support Contact field to send an email message to technical support.

•Click Help to open online help.

The System frame displays and updates the status of the cards, power supplies, and fans in your device. Each number in the Cards, Power Supplies, and Fans fields identifies a field-replaceable unit (FRU) in your device based on the slot number in which it resides. The color of the slot number indicates the status of the FRU. Tab le 1 -1 lists the colors in the display and explains what each color indicates.

Table 1-1: FRU Color Indicators

Color Indication

green Operational and administrative status of up.

gray Administrative status of down.

red Operational status of down.

Tree Frame

The Tree frame appears on the lower-left-hand side of the CM display and provides a navigation tree that groups the functional branches of your device under icons. Figure 1-2 displays an example of the Tree frame.

10. Click the Browse button. The Select Certificate Store window opens.

11. Click Trusted Root Certification Authorities, then click OK.

12. Click the Next button, then click the Finish button.

Avoiding Error Messages

By default, SSL certificates map to the IP address of the Ethernet Management Port of a Server Switch. If you enter one of the following, your browser displays an alert:

• the system name of your host (that you configure with the

• the IP address of the InfiniBand Management Port of your Server Switch to launch CM.

hostname

command)

The alert cautions you that the name on the certificate does not match the name of the site. This hostname mismatch message reappears after you log in and the java applet begins to load. To avoid this message entirely, configure your Server Switch to use the identifier that you enter in the browser to verify certificates.

To configure the certificate name to use the system name:

1. Telnet to your Server Switch and log in as a user with administrative privileges.

Example

2. Enter the

Example

Topspin-270> enable Topspin-270#

3. Enter the

Example

Topspin-270# configure terminal Topspin-270(config)#

4. Enter the name of your Server Switch:

• the

• the system name (hostname) of the Server Switch

Example

Topspin-270(config)# ip http secure-cert-common-name useSysName

Now, when you open CM with the system name of your Server Switch, error messages will not repeatedly appear.

command with the following to configure your certificates to use the system

keyword

Logging Out of Chassis Manager

To log out of CM, close the Web browser window that displays the GUI. If you have multiple windows open (such as the main CM window and a “properties” window), close all such windows.

Navigating Chassis Manager

The Tree frame of the Web-based interface provides a high-level map of CM. As you move from display to display in CM, the View frame constantly reminds you where you are in the system.

When you click a branch in the Tree frame, the title of the display that appears in the View frame matches the name of the branch. Directly below the display title appears a tiered locator that details the level of the current display in relation to other elements of CM. For instance, when you click the Cards branch of the Chassis icon, the following locator string appears:

A.B.C.D > Chassis > Cards

In this instance, A.B.C.D represents the IP address of your Server Switch. The tiered locator indicates that your current display is the Cards display, which is a branch of the Chassis icon on the device with an IP address of A.B.C.D.

When you further filter your display, the View frame indicates the new level of granularity. For instance, if you view the ports on a particular gateway card instead of all ports on the device, a tiered locator appears, followed by a filter indicator. If you view only external ports on an Ethernet gateway in slot 4, the following identifiers appear:

A.B.C.D > Chassis > Ports

Filter : Card = 4

The second identifier indicates that the display shows only the ports on Card 4.

Moving Backward

Because no formal “move backward” function exists in CM, use one of the following options to return to a previous display:

• Click the Back button on your Web browser.

• Right-click the View frame and select Back from the pop-up menu.

• Navigate to the desired display with the Tree frame.

NOTE: When you use the Back button of your Web browser, your browser may not cache selections that you made for a particular view. For instance, if you view the gateway ports of a card, then click a branch in the Tree frame, your previous display may not appear correctly when you click the Back button.

Refreshing Views

CM lets you update most displays to reflect changes that occurred since you opened the display. To refresh your view, click the Refresh button in your display.

Understanding Access Privileges

The functionality available to you from CM varies based on the access privileges of your username. If you do not have read access to a particular technology, the icon and branches for that technology do not appear in your GUI. If you do not have write access to a particular technology, the configuration options for that technology do not appear in your GUI.

Viewing Device Status

CM provides an overview of the status of the components of your Server Switch. To view the status summary of your device, click the IP address at the top of the Tree frame. Items that appear in green actively function. Items that appear in gray are not active. Items that appear in red are faulty or administratively down.
