Configuring FlexAddress for Chassis-Level Fabric and Slots Using RACADM
To enable or disable fabrics, use the following RACADM command:
racadm setflexaddr [-f <fabricName> <state>]
where, <fabricName> = A or iDRAC and <state> = 0 or 1
0 is disable and 1 is enable.
To enable or disable slots, use the following RACADM command:
racadm setflexaddr [-i <slot#> <state>
where, <slot#> = 1 or 4 and <state> = 0 or 1
0 is disable and 1 is enable.
For more information about the setflexaddr command, see the Chassis Management Controller for
PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
NOTE: If you purchase the FlexAddress or FlexAddressPlus feature with your Dell PowerEdge VRTX,
it is pre-installed and enabled for all slots and fabrics. To purchase this feature, contact Dell at
dell.com.
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.
Viewing World Wide Name/Media Access Control (WWN/MAC) IDs
The WWN/MAC Summary page allows you to view the WWN configuration and MAC address of a slot in
the chassis.
Fabric Configuration
The Fabric Configuration section displays the type of Input/Output fabric that is installed for Fabric A. A
green check mark indicates that the fabric is enabled for FlexAddress. The FlexAddress feature is used to
deploy chassis assigned and slot persistent WWN/MAC addresses to various fabrics and slots within the
chassis. This feature is enabled on a per-fabric and per-slot–basis.
