Users Guide

NOTE: To modify service settings, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.

Remote syslog is an additional log target for CMC. After you configure the remote syslog, each new log entry generated by CMC is

forwarded to the respective destinations.

NOTE: Because the network transport for the forwarded log entries is UDP, there is no guaranteed delivery of log

entries, nor is there any feedback to CMC about whether the log entries were received successfully.

The reserved network ports for CMC and iDRAC communication are 21, 68, 69, 123, 161, 546, 801, 4003, 4096, 5985 to 5990, 6900, and

60106.

Configuring services using RACADM

To enable and configure the various services, use the following RACADM objects:

• cfgRacTuning

• cfgRacTuneRemoteRacadmEnable

For more information about these objects, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM Command Line

Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

If the firmware on the server does not support a feature, configuring a property related to that feature displays an error. For example,

using RACADM to enable remote syslog on an unsupported iDRAC displays an error message.

Similarly, when displaying the iDRAC properties using the RACADM getconfig command, the property values are displayed as N/A for

an unsupported feature on the server.

For example:

$ racadm getconfig -g cfgSessionManagement -m server-1

# cfgSsnMgtWebServerMaxSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtWebServerActiveSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtWebServerTimeout=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtSSHMaxSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtSSHActiveSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtSSHTimeout=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtTelnetMaxSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtTelnetActiveSessions=N/A

# cfgSsnMgtTelnetTimeout=N/A

Configuring CMC extended storage card

You can enable or repair the optional Removable Flash Media for use as an extended non-volatile storage. Some CMC features depend on

extended nonvolatile storage for their operation.

To enable or repair the Removable Flash Media using the CMC web interface:

1. In the left pane, go to Chassis Overview, and then click Chassis Controller > Flash Media.

2. On the Removable Flash Media page, from the drop-down menu, select one of the following as appropriate:

• Repair active controller media

• Stop using flash media for storing chassis data

For more information about these options, see the CMC for Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s Online Help.

3. Click Apply to apply the selected option.

Setting up Chassis Group

CMC enables you to monitor multiple chassis from a single lead chassis. When a chassis group is enabled, CMC in the lead chassis

generates a graphical display of the status of the lead chassis and all member chassis within the chassis group. To use this feature, you

must have an Enterprise License.

The Chassis group features are:

• Displays images portraying the front and back of each chassis, a set for the leader and a set for each member.

• Health concerns for the leader and members of a group are recognized by red or yellow overlays and an X or an ! on the component

with the symptoms. Details are visible below the chassis image when you click the chassis image or Details.
