Using FlexAddress 225

In a chassis with redundant CMCs, if you are replacing a CMC unit with

one that has firmware prior to 1.10, the following procedure must be

used to ensure the current FlexAddress feature and configuration will

NOT be removed.

Ensure the active CMC firmware is always version 1.10 or later.

Remove the standby CMC and insert the new CMC in its place.

From the Active CMC, upgrade the standby CMC firmware

to 1.10 or later.

NOTE: If you do not update the standby CMC firmware to 1.10 or later and a failover

occurs, the FlexAddress feature is not configured and you will need to reactivate

and reconfigure the feature.

The SD card was not in the chassis when I executed the deactivation

command on the FlexAddress. How do I recover my SD card now?

The issue is that the SD card cannot be used to install FlexAddress on

another chassis if it was not in the CMC when FlexAddress was

deactivated. To recover use of the card, insert the card back into a CMC in

the chassis that it is bound to, reinstall FlexAddress, and then deactivate

FlexAddress, again.

I have the SD card properly installed and all the firmware/software updates

installed. I see that FlexAddress is active, but I can’t see anything on the

server deployment screen to deploy it? What is wrong?

This is a browser caching issue; shut down the browser and relaunch.

What happens to FlexAddress if I need to reset my chassis configuration

using the RACADM command,

racresetcfg

The FlexAddress feature will still be activated and ready to use. All fabrics

and slots will be selected as default.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you power down your chassis before

issuing the RACADM command racresetcfg.
