Control Hardware for CSM Node:  $values{nodes}

Run any operations in the left hand column. The attribute values in the same row as the buttons correspond to those buttons.

Action Attribute Value Description

Connection Status:
HWControlPoint: The HW control point (HCP) is the RSA or Management Module that controls this node.
PowerMethod: The method to use to perform hardware control operations.  Valid values:  xseriesblade, bmc (e325, e326, x336, x346, etc.), apc, or hmc (pSeries).
HWControlNodeId: Text ID of the node as it is defined to the RSA or management module.Test Connection will just make sure we can contact this HCP and that it is responding. Reset HCP will recycle the HCP if it is hung.Get/Save NodeIds will query the HCP for all the nodes attached to it and attempt to associate them with nodes in the CSM database and save the corresponding attributes.

PowerStatus: The current power state of the selected nodes. Query Status Now will query the HCP for the current power status, instead of relying on the value in the CSM database. Change Status will actually power on/off, etc. the node depending on which radio button is selected.
InstallAdapterMacaddr: The MAC address of the network adapter on the node to be used for installation. Get MAC will attempt to get the MAC address and set it in the CSM database.
HWType: Get/Save MTMS will contact the HCP for this node and try to determine the HW type, model, and serial number and set those in the CSM database. These values are used by other parts of this web interface, for example the main page displays an icon for each node depending on the type and model.
HWModel:
HWSerialNum:
Runs the CSM diagnostic probe that verifies that the hardware is cabled and working correctly.
Clicking this button will take any values that have been entered or changed in the text fields above and save them in the CSM database.
