Associated nodes deployment behavior

The following describes which nodes SUM can automatically add and the order in which SUM deploys the nodes:

Onboard Administrator

Types of associated nodes:

  • iLO

  • Virtual Connect

  • SAS Switches

Deployment behavior:

  • Deploys the OA first and then other nodes.

Virtual Connect
NOTE:

If the Virtual Connect is configured in CNSA mode, SUM does not support upgrading, downgrading, or rewriting the firmware.

Types of associated nodes:

  • Onboard Administrator

Deployment behavior:

  • Deploys the VC first and then the OA.

FC Switch

Types of associated nodes:

  • Partner FC Switches

Deployment behavior:

  • Deploys to the selected switch first and then to associated switches.

6 Gb SAS BL Switches

Types of associated nodes:

  • Onboard Administrator

Deployment behavior:

  • Deploys to the selected switch first and then to the OA.

iLO

Types of associated nodes:

  • Onboard Administrator

  • Server

Deployment behavior:

  • Deploys to the iLO first and then the OA and servers.
    NOTE:

    SUM adds associated server only for iLO 4 nodes, not for iLO 5.

Server

Types of associated nodes:

  • None

Superdome X

Types of associated nodes:

  • None

Superdome Flex

Types of associated nodes:

  • None

NOTE:

If you are running a mixed IPv4 and IPv6 environment, SUM might display the following issues:

  • If you add an IPv6 iLO with associated nodes and the associated nodes are only configured with IPv4, SUM displays IPv6 nodes.

  • SUM does not support IPv6 for SAS and FC switches.
