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 preinstalled
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
