Using FlexAddress 177
Current Chassis Service Tag = XXXXXXXX
Feature Card Chassis Service Tag = YYYYYYYY
Dell Service will need to program the original chassis service tag back into
the chassis and reset the CMC.
5 What if I have two feature cards installed in my redundant CMC system?
Will I get an error?
The feature card in the active CMC will be active and installed in the
chassis. The second card will be ignored by CMC.
6 Does the SD card have a write protection lock on it?
Yes it does. Before installing the SD card into the CMC module, verify the
write protection latch is in the unlock position. The FlexAddress feature
cannot be activated if the SD card is write protected. In this situation, the
$racadm feature -s command will return this message:
No features active on the chassis. ERROR: read
only file system
7
What will happen if there isn’t an SD card in the active CMC module?
The
$racadm featurecard -s command will return this message:
No feature card inserted.
8
What will happen to my FlexAddress feature if the server BIOS is updated
from version 1.
xx to version 2. xx ?
The server module will need to be powered down before it can be used
with FlexAddress. After the server BIOS update is complete, the server
module will not get chassis-assigned addresses until the server has been
power cycled.
9 What will happen if a chassis with a single CMC is downgraded with
firmware prior to 1.10?
The FlexAddress feature and configuration will be removed. After the
CMC firmware is upgraded to 1.10 or later, the FlexAddress feature will
need to be reactivated and configured by the user.
