254 Using FlexAddress
Deactivating FlexAddress
Use the following RACADM command to deactivate the FlexAddress feature
and restore the SD card:
racadm feature -d -c flexaddress
The command returns the following status message upon successful
deactivation:
feature FlexAddress is deactivated on the chassis
successfully.
If the chassis is not powered-down prior to execution, the command fails with
the following error message:
ERROR: Unable to deactivate the feature because the
chassis is powered ON
For further information on the command, see the feature command section
of the RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC6 and CMC.
Configuring FlexAddress Using the CLI
NOTE: You must enable both—the slot and fabric— for the chassis-assigned
MAC address to be pushed to the iDRAC.
NOTE: You can also view FlexAddress status using the graphical user interface.
For more information, see "FlexAddress" on page 236.
You can use the command line interface to 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 only 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. For this feature to work, the
fabric must be enabled and the server must be powered off.
Enabled slots are 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.
