Configuring FlexAddress

If you purchase FlexAddress with your chassis, is 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

at support.dell.com/manuals.

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 have FlexAddress enabled only on Fabric-

A. All other fabrics use the factory-assigned WWN/MAC on the server.

Selected slots have 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 249.

NOTE: Make sure that the Blade Servers are powered off before changing the

fabric level (A, B, C, or DRAC) flex address.
