Confluent discovery of Enclosure based systems
When discovering SD530 servers with an SMM, the enclosure may be used as an indication of how location based discovery should go.
For the SD530, ensure that enclosure.manager
indicates a node meant to represent the SMM in the chassis, and
that enclosure.bay
is set to indicate the bay in the chassis. For example:
# nodeattrib n1 enclosure.manager=smm1 enclosure.bay=1
As with all attributes, this may be set at group level using formulaic expansion to vary the values per node if desired.
The SMM node could in turn have net.switch
and net.switchport
set according to its location if directly connected to switches:
# nodeattrib smm1 net.switch=r4e1 net.switchport=35
For chained enclosures, for all enclosures not directly connected to the switch, use the enclosure.extends
to indicate the next
enclosure the SMM would need to use to reach the switch:
# nodeattrib smm2 enclosure.extends=smm1
# nodeattrib smm3 enclosure.extends=smm2
With that, discovery will proceed identically to the procedure in using switch based discovery
