Using the CMC Web Interface 113
Enabling Removable Flash Media
You can enable or repair the optional Removable Flash Media for use as an
extended non-volatile storage. Some CMC features depend on extended non-
volatile storage for their operation.
To enable or repair the Removable Flash Media:
1
Log in to the CMC Web interface.
The
Chassis Health page is displayed.
2 Click Chassis Controller in the treelist.
The
Chassis Controller Status page is displayed.
3 Click the Flash Media tab.
The
Removable Flash Media page is displayed.
4 To begin using the media, select Use flash media for storing chassis data
in the dropdown list.
5 If the media on one CMC appears to have a problem, make that CMC
active and select
Prepare or repair active controller media in the
dropdown list.
If two CMCs are present in the chassis, both CMCs must contain flash
media. CMC features which depend on flash media (except for Flexaddress)
do not function properly until the Dell-authorized media is installed and
enabled on this page.
Chassis Health Page
When you log in to CMC, the Chassis Health page (Chassis Overview
Properties
 Health) is displayed. The most frequently needed information
and actions are available on this page. If your chassis is configured as a Group
Lead, the Group Health page is displayed after login. For more information,
see "Using Chassis Group" on page 114.
The Chassis Health page displays a live graphical view of the chassis and its
components, as well as the details of the components. Depending on the
selected component, various actions or links to other pages are available. In
addition, the latest events in the CMC Hardware Log are also displayed.
