178 Using FlexAddress

In a chassis with redundant CMCs, if you are 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.

Ensure the active CMC firmware is always version 1.10 or later.

Remove the standby CMC and insert the new CMC in its place.

From the Active CMC, upgrade the standby CMC firmware to 1.10

later.

NOTE: If a user does not update the standby CMC firmware to 1.10 or later and a

failover occurs, the FlexAddress feature will not be configured and the user will

need to reactivate the feature.

I have the SD card properly installed and all the firmware/software updates

installed. I see that FlexAddress is active, but I can’t see anything on the

server deployment screen to deploy it? What is wrong?

This is a browser caching issue; shut down the browser and relaunch.
