Configuring Server FlexAddress
For information about configuring FlexAddress for servers, see Configuring FlexAddress for Chassis-Level
Fabric and Slots Using CMC Web Interface. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise License.
Configuring Remote File Share
The Remote Virtual Media File Share feature maps a file from a share drive on the network to one or more
servers through CMC to deploy or update an operating system. When connected, the remote file is
accessible similar to a file that you can access on a local server. Two types of media are supported: floppy
drives and CD/DVD drives.
To perform a remote file share operation (connect, disconnect, or deploy), you must have the Chassis
Configuration Administrator or Server Administrator privileges. To use this feature, you must have an
Enterprise license.
To configure the remote file share:
1. In the left pane, click Server Overview → Setup → Remote File Share.
2. On the Deploy Remote File Share page, type appropriate data in the fields. For more information
about the field descriptions, see the
Online Help.
3. To connect to a remote file share, click Connect. To connect a remote file share, you must provide
the path, user name, and password. A successful operation allows access to the media.
Click Disconnect to disconnect a previously-connected remote file share.
Click Deploy to deploy the media device.
NOTE: Before you click the Deploy button, make sure that you save all the working files,
because this action restarts the server.
When you click Deploy, the following tasks are executed:
• The remote file share is connected.
• The file is selected as the first boot device for the servers.
• The server is restarted.
• Power is supplied to the server if the server is turned off.
Configuring Profile Settings Using Server Configuration
Replication
The server configurations replicating feature allows you to apply all profile settings from a specified server
to one or more servers. Profile settings that can be replicated are those profile settings which can be
modified and are intended to be replicated across servers. The following three profile groups for servers
are displayed and can be replicated:
• BIOS — This group includes only the BIOS settings of a server. These profiles are generated from CMC
for PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later.
• BIOS and Boot — This group includes the BIOS and the Boot settings of a server. These profiles are
generated from CMC for PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later.
