Using FlexAddress 255
Use the following RACADM command to enable or disable fabrics:
racadm setflexaddr [-f <fabricName> <state>]
<fabricName> = A, B, C, or iDRAC
<state> = 0 or 1
Where 0 is disable and 1 is enable.
Use the following RACADM command to enable or disable slots:
racadm setflexaddr [-i <slot#> <state>]
<slot#> = 1 to 16
<state> = 0 or 1
Where 0 is disable and 1 is enable.
For additional information on the command, see the setflexaddr
command section of the RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for
iDRAC7 and CMC.
Additional FlexAddress Configuration for Linux
When changing from a server-assigned MAC ID to chassis-assigned
MAC ID on Linux-based operating systems, additional configuration
steps may be required:
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10: You may need to run YAST
(Yet another Setup Tool) on your Linux system to configure your network
devices and then restart the network services.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5: Run Kudzu,
a utility to detect and configure new/changed hardware on the system.
Kudzu presents you with The Hardware Discovery Menu; it detects the
MAC address change as hardware was removed and new hardware added.
