Troubleshooting FlexAddress
This section contains troubleshooting information for FlexAddress.
1
What happens if a feature card is removed?
Nothing happens. Feature cards can be removed and stored or may be left
in place.
2 What happens if a feature card that was used in one chassis is removed and
put into another chassis?
The Web interface displays an error that states:
This feature card was activated with a different
chassis. It must be removed before accessing the
FlexAddress feature.
Current Chassis Service Tag = XXXXXXXX
Feature Card Chassis Service Tag = YYYYYYYY
An entry is added to the CMC log that states:
cmc <date timestamp> : feature
'FlexAddress@YYYYYYYY' not activated; chassis ID=
'XXXXXXXX'
3
What happens if the feature card is removed and a non-FlexAddress card is
installed?
No activation or modifications to the card should occur. The card is
ignored by CMC. In this situation, the
$racadm featurecard -s returns a
message of:
No feature card inserted
ERROR: can't open file
4
If the chassis service tag is reprogrammed, what happens if there is a
feature card bound to that chassis?
• If the original feature card is present in the active CMC on that or any
other chassis, the Web interface displays an error that states:
This feature card was activated with a
different chassis. It must be removed before
accessing the FlexAddress feature.
