Chassis ID Configuration

When installing and configuring Chassis high availability, you must make sure that Chassis ID are different before you start to configure the software. Chassis IDs are configured on the CMM and should be <1> for the first Chassis and <2> for the second Chassis.

Note: If the 61000/41000 Security System is up and running, change the Chassis ID on the Standby Chassis, hence you will have to perform Chassis failover.

Procedure for 61000 Security System

  1. Remove the upper CMM from the Chassis.
  2. Log in to the remaining CMM.
  3. Connect the serial cable to the console port on the CMM.
  4. Connect to the CMM with a terminal emulation application, such as PuTTY.
  5. Make sure that the Speed (baud rate) is set to 9600.

    No IP address is necessary.

  6. Log in with user name and password admin/admin.
  7. Open /etc/shmm.cfg in a text editor.
  8. Search for and set SHMM_CHASSID= to the correct Chassis ID
   Chassis ID
   SHMM_CHASSID=<Chassis_id>
  1. Remove the lower CMM, which you just reconfigured, from the Chassis.
  2. Insert the upper CMM into the Chassis.
  3. Do steps 2 - 8 on the upper CMM.
  4. Remove the upper CMM from the Chassis.
  5. Insert both CMMs into the Chassis.
  6. Attach the correct identification labels to the Chassis and CMMs.

    This step is required if the Chassis has already been configured (After First Time Configuration Wizard)

  7. Remove all SGMs from the Chassis and then reinsert them.

    This step causes a hard reboot of the system.

Procedure for 41000 Security System

  1. Remove the right CMM from the Chassis
  2. Log in to the remaining CMM.
  3. Connect the serial cable to the console port on the CMM.
  4. Connect to the CMM with a terminal emulation application, such as PuTTY.
  5. Make sure that the Speed (baud rate) is set to 9600.

    No IP address is necessary.

  6. Log in with user name and password admin/admin.
  7. Open /etc/shmm.cfg in a text editor.
  8. Search for and set SHMM_CHASSID= to the correct Chassis ID
   Chassis ID
   SHMM_CHASSID=<Chassis_id>
  1. Remove from the left CMM from the chassis.
  2. Insert the right CMM into the Chassis.
  3. Do steps 2-8 on the right CMM.
  4. Remove the right CMM from the Chassis.
  5. Insert both CMMs into the Chassis.
  6. Attach the correct identification labels to the Chassis and CMMs.

    This step is required if the Chassis has already been configured (After First Time Configuration Wizard)

  7. Remove all SGMs from the Chassis and then reinsert them.

    This step causes a hard reboot of the system
