Configuring sled network uplink

You can configure the Sled Network Uplink only on the PowerEdge FM120x4 sleds that contain an internal network switch.

To configure the Sled Network Uplink, go to Chassis Overview > Server Overview > Setup > Sled Network Uplink

Select one of the following values for Sled network uplink configuration Property:

• Standard (aggregated): Uplink configuration where all four IOM uplink ports are configured in a single trunk group and all LOMs are

mapped to that group. This is selected by default.

• Network adapter isolation (enhanced security): Uplink configuration similar to standard, but routing between local nodes is not

allowed.

• Isolated networks: Uplink configuration where each node’s LOM1 is mapped to IOM A1 and LOM2 is mapped to IOM A2.

• Enhanced Network Adapter Isolation: Uplink configuration for enhanced security in multi-tenant configurations. This configuration

isolates the individual network adapters with a dedicated IOM port mapped to the LOM of each node. Only the LOM1 on each node is

operational.

NOTE:

While downgrading from CMC version 1.3 or later, if the Sled network uplink configuration is set to Enhanced

Network Adapter Isolation, then the Sled network uplink configuration is blank in CMC 1.2 or earlier versions. In the CLI,

the invalid value ‘4’, is displayed as the output for the command:

$ getconfig –g cfgRacTuning –o cfgRacTuneSledNetworkUplink

Deploying 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:
