Configuring FlexAddress
If you purchase FlexAddress with your chassis, it will be installed and active
when you power up your system. If you purchase FlexAddress separately,
you must install the SD feature card using the instructions in the Chassis
Management Controller (CMC) Secure Digital (SD) Card Technical
Specification document. See support.dell.com/manuals for this document.
The server must be off before you begin configuration. You can enable or
disable FlexAddress on a per fabric basis. Additionally, you can enable/disable
the feature on a per slot basis. After you enable the feature on a per-fabric
basis, you can then select slots to be enabled. For example, if Fabric-A is
enabled, any slots that are enabled will have FlexAddress enabled only on
Fabric-A. All other fabrics will use the factory-assigned WWN/MAC on the
server.
Selected slots will be FlexAddress enabled for all fabrics that are enabled.
For example, it is not possible to enable Fabric-A and B, and have Slot 1 be
FlexAddress enabled on Fabric-A but not on Fabric-B.
NOTE: You can also configure FlexAddress using the command line interface.
For more command information, see "Using FlexAddress" on page 215.
