Recovering management with a CMM after a management server failure

If a chassis is being managed by Lenovo XClarity Administrator, and XClarity Administrator

fails, you can restore the management functions and the local user accounts for a CMM until
the management node is restored or replaced.

Procedure

Complete one of the following procedures to restore management on a CMM.

 If the replacement XClarity Administrator instance uses the same IP address as the
failed XClarity Administrator, manage the device again using the RECOVERY_ID
account and password and the Force management option.
 Reset the CMM to factory defaults by pressing the pinhole button on the CMM using
a paperclip for at least 10 seconds.
 Reset the CMM configuration using the following steps:

1. Through an SSH session, open a management command-line interface for the

chassis, and log in with the RECOVERY_ID account.

Note: The password for the RECOVERY_ID account was set when you selected the
chassis for management on the Management Domain page.

If this is the first time that you have used the RECOVERY_ID account to log in to the CMM,
you must change the password.

2. If you are prompted, type the new password for the RECOVERY_ID account.
3. Restore the CMM configuration by performing one of the following steps:
 If you are running CMM firmware release June 2015 or later, run the following
command:
read -f unmanage -T mm[p]
 If you are running CMM firmware release earlier than June 2015, run the
following commands in the order shown:

a. env -T mm[p]
b. sslcfg -client disabled -tc1 remove
c. accseccfg -am local
d. ldapcfg -i1 -p1 -rd "" -usa "" -gsa "" -lpa ""
e. ntp -en disabled -i 0.0.0.0 -v3en disabled
f. cimsub -clear all
g. fsmcm -off

The fsmcm command disables XClarity Administrator user-account management and

allows you to use local CMM user accounts to authenticate to the CMM and any
management processor that is installed in the chassis.

After you run the fsmcm -off command, the RECOVERY_ID account is removed from
the CMM user registry. When you run the fsmcm -off command, the CMM CLI
session terminates. You can now authenticate to the CMM and other chassis
 components by using local CMM credentials, and use local CMM credentials to
access the CMM web interface or CLI for the chassis until user management by
XClarity Administrator is restored.
