174 Using FlexAddress
Activating FlexAddress
FlexAddress is delivered on a Secure Digital (SD) card that must be inserted
into the CMC to provide the chassis-assigned WWN/MAC IDs. To activate
the FlexAddress feature, perform several required updates; if you are not
activating FlexAddress these updates are not required. The updates, which
are listed in the table below, include server module BIOS, I/O mezzanine
BIOS or firmware, and CMC firmware. You must apply these updates before
you enable FlexAddress. If these updates are not applied, the FlexAddress
feature may not function as expected.
NOTE: Any system ordered after June 2008 will have the correct firmware versions.
To ensure proper deployment of the FlexAddress feature, update the BIOS
and the firmware in the following order:
1
Update all mezzanine card firmware and BIOS.
2 Update server module BIOS.
3 Update iDRAC firmware on the server module.
