Add a Switch to the HSM Database

Manually add a switch to the Hardware State Manager (HSM) database. Switches need to be in the HSM database in order to update their firmware with the Firmware Action Service (FAS).

Prerequisites

  • The Cray command line interface (CLI) tool is initialized and configured on the system. See Configure the Cray CLI.
  • The component name (xname), IP address, user name, and password are known for the switch being added.

Procedure

  1. (ncn-mw#) Add the switch to the HSM database.

    The --rediscover-on-update true flag forces HSM to discover the switch.

    cray hsm inventory redfishEndpoints create --id XNAME --fqdn IP_ADDRESS --user USERNAME \
    --password PASSWORD --rediscover-on-update true --format toml

    Example output:

    [[results]]
URI = "/hsm/v2/Inventory/RedfishEndpoints/x3000c0r41b0"

  2. (ncn-mw#) Verify that HSM successfully discovered the switch.

    cray hsm inventory redfishEndpoints list --id XNAME --format toml

    Example output:

    [[RedfishEndpoints]]
Domain = ""
RediscoverOnUpdate = true
Hostname = "10.254.2.17"
Enabled = true
FQDN = "10.254.2.17"
User = "root"
Password = ""
Type = "RouterBMC"
ID = "x3000c0r41b0"

[RedfishEndpoints.DiscoveryInfo]
LastDiscoveryAttempt = "2020-02-05T18:41:08.823059Z"
RedfishVersion = "1.2.0"
LastDiscoveryStatus = "DiscoverOK"

The switch is now discovered by the HSM.
