Configuring FlexAddress
FlexAddress is an optional upgrade that allows server modules to replace the factory-assigned
WWN/MAC ID with a WWN/MAC ID provided by the chassis.
NOTE: In this section, the term FlexAddress also indicates FlexAddress Plus.
NOTE: By using the racresetcfg subcommand, you can reset the Flex Address of a CMC to its
factory-default setting, which is “disabled”. The RACADM syntax is:
racadm racresetcfg -c flex
For more information about the FlexAddress-related RACADM commands and data about the other
factory-default properties, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM
Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
