Users Guide

NOTE: To modify service settings, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.

Remote syslog is an additional log target for CMC. After you configure the remote syslog, each new log

entry generated by CMC is forwarded to the respective destinations.

NOTE: Because the network transport for the forwarded log entries is UDP, there is no guaranteed

delivery of log entries, nor is there any feedback to CMC about whether the log entries were

received successfully.

Configuring Services Using RACADM

To enable and configure the various services, use the following RACADM objects:

• cfgRacTuning

• cfgRacTuneRemoteRacadmEnable

For more information about these objects, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge FX2/

FX2s RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

If the firmware on the server does not support a feature, configuring a property related to that feature

displays an error. For example, using RACADM to enable remote syslog on an unsupported iDRAC

displays an error message.

Similarly, when displaying the iDRAC properties using the RACADM getconfig command, the property

values are displayed as N/A for an unsupported feature on the server.

For example:

$ racadm getconfig -g cfgSessionManagement -m server-1

# cfgSsnMgtWebServerMaxSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtWebServerActiveSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtWebServerTimeout=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtSSHMaxSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtSSHActiveSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtSSHTimeout=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtTelnetMaxSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtTelnetActiveSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtTelnetTimeout=N/A

Configuring CMC Extended Storage Card

You can enable or repair the optional Removable Flash Media for use as an extended non-volatile

storage. Some CMC features depend on extended nonvolatile storage for their operation.

To enable or repair the Removable Flash Media using the CMC web interface:

1. In the left pane, go to Chassis Overview, and then click Chassis Controller → Flash Media.

2. On the Removable Flash Media page, from the drop-down menu, select one of the following as

appropriate:

• Repair active controller media

• Stop using flash media for storing chassis data

For more information about these options, see the CMC for Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s Online Help.

3. Click Apply to apply the selected option.
