156 Using FlexAddress
Viewing FlexAddress Status Using the CLI
You can use the command line interface to view FlexAddress status
information. You can view status information for the entire chassis or for a
particular slot. The information displayed includes:
• Fabric configuration
• FlexAddress enabled/disabled
• Slot number and name
• Chassis-assigned and server-assigned addresses
• Addresses in use.
Use the following RACADM command to display FlexAddress status for the
entire chassis:
racadm getflexaddr
To display FlexAddress status for a particular slot:
racadm getflexaddr [-i <slot#>]
<slot#> = 1 to 16
Refer to "Configuring FlexAddress" for additional details on FlexAddress
configuration.
If the command is run without FlexAddress activated, it will return the
following error message:
This feature is not available on this chassis.
For additional information on the command, see "getflexaddr" on page 303.
Configuring FlexAddress Using the CLI
You can use the command line interface to enable or disable FlexAddress on a
per fabric basis. Additionally, you can enable/disable the feature on a per slot
basis. Once you enable the feature on a per-fabric basis, you can then select
slots to be enabled. For example, if Fabric-A is enabled, any slots that are
enabled will have FlexAddress enabled only on Fabric-A. All other fabrics will
use the factory-assigned WWN/MAC on the server.
