Enabling maintenance mode for UCS blade server

<<Original post by Marcel . Answered by Robert. Moving from document section to discussion>>

Hi Folks,

just one simple question:

- Is it possible to enable a "maintenance mode" for a dedicated server for a short period

  of time, so that alerts or snmp-traps are not send, whatever happens ? And after that

  switch back to normal mode ?

Because, if a ucs server is going down for reboot or something like that it always floods

our tivoli system with lots of snmp-traps, and when we make a simple restart this makes no sense

at all.

I discovered in the Eqipment, Server, General, Actions-Tab the action "Server Maintenance"

which offers the selection of "Decommision" or "Re-Acklowledge" ... i am not really aware

of what happens on both selections ....

but I didn´t find an explanantion what this really does and if it switches off the SNMP-alerting....

Is this the way I can realise to "silence" this dedicated server temporaily, or what would you

suggest ?????

Thank for your help ...

Marcel

To answer your question about a maint. policy - No, we do not  currenlty have a way to do this at this time, however we have raised an  enhancement request for just such a feature.  It is planned to be  incorporated into a future release (no ETA at this time unfortunately).

Regards,.
