Configuring part replacement properties for a system
About this task
Use the System Viewer Utility to configure the Part Replacement properties for a system.
To configure the Part Replacement properties:
Steps
- On the System Viewer Utility, select Platform Restore.
For the11th generation of PowerEdge servers, the utility checks for a valid license of the Dell vFlash SD card on the Lifecycle Controller of the system and for the 12th and 13th generation of PowerEdge servers, the utility checks for an Enterprise license. If a valid license is present, the Platform Restore screen is displayed.
- On the Platform Restore screen, select the Configure Part Replacement option and click Next.
The Part Replacement attributes are displayed.
- Select the options for the properties as displayed
in the following table:
Table 1. Property and options Property Options Collect System Inventory on Start (CSIOR)
- Disabled: Disables CSIOR for the replaced part.
- Enable: Enables CSIOR for the replaced part.
- Do Not Change: Retains the default settings.
Part firmware update
- Disabled: Disables the firmware updates for the replaced part.
- Allow version upgrade only: Performs firmware update on replaced parts if the firmware version of the new part is lower than the original part.
- Match firmware of replaced part: Performs firmware update on replaced parts to the version of the original part.
- Do Not Change: Retains the default settings.
Part configuration update
- Disabled: Disables the operation that applies the current configuration to a replaced part.
- Apply always: Applies the current configuration to the replaced part.
- Apply only if firmware matches: Applies the current configuration only if the current firmware matches with the firmware of the replaced part.
- Do Not Change: Retains the default settings.
- Click Finish after
selecting the required options.
The following message is displayed: Task submission complete.
A task is submitted to the Task Viewer. You can launch the Task Viewer to view the status of the task. The task configures the Lifecycle Controller of the system with the Part Replacement configuration. This configuration takes effect when you replace any part for the system.
If you have updated the Part Replacement Attributes, sometimes the updates are not set immediately. Wait for couple of minutes and check to see if the updates are set.
