* FlexAddress: Prior to inserting the SD card into the CMC, the user
must verify the write protection latch is in the "unlock" position.
The FlexAddress feature cannot be activated if the SD card is write
protected.
* FlexAddress: The system BIOS must be upgraded prior to installing
FlexAddress. If not, a warning icon will be displayed on the
server health page. Once the system BIOS is updated, the server
blade must be power cycled before the FlexAddress chassis assigned
MAC addresses will be accepted by the server blade. The CMC will
display chassis assigned MACs are configured but the server will
be using the server assigned MAC configuration.
* FlexAddress: If you issue a CMCCHANGEOVER or RACRESET and then log
into the CMC Web GUI, the FlexAddress webpage could take up
to a min to update the switch configurations.
* FlexAddress: If a chassis with a single CMC is downgraded with
firmware prior to 1.10, the FlexAddress feature and configuration
will be removed. Once the CMC firmware is upgraded to 1.10 or
later, the FlexAddress feature will need to be reactivated and
configured by the user.
* FlexAddress: In a chassis with a two CMC, if replacing a CMC unit
with one that has firmware prior to 1.10, the following procedure
must be used to ensure the current FlexAddress feature and
configuration will NOT be removed.
1. Ensure the active CMC firmware is always version 1.10 or later
2. Remove the standby CMC and insert the new CMC in its place.
3. From the Active CMC, upgrade the standby CMC firmware to 1.10
or later.
