• Remove the standby CMC and insert the new CMC in its place.
• From the Active CMC, upgrade the standby CMC firmware to 1.10 or later.
NOTE: If the standby CMC firmware is not updated to 1.10 or later and a failover occurs, the
FlexAddress feature is not configured. The feature must be reactivated and reconfigured again.
How can a SD card be recovered if the SD card was not in the chassis when the deactivation command
was executed on the FlexAddress?
The issue is that the SD card cannot be used to install FlexAddress on another chassis if it was not in CMC
when the FlexAddress was deactivated. To recover use of the card, insert the card back into a CMC in the
chassis that it is bound to, reinstall FlexAddress, and then deactivate FlexAddress, again.
The SD card is properly installed and all the firmware or software updates are installed. The
FlexAddress is active, but the server deployment screen does not display the options to deploy it? What
is wrong?
This is a browser caching issue. Shut down the browser and relaunch.
What happens to FlexAddress if I need to reset my chassis configuration using the RACADM command,
racresetcfg?
The FlexAddress feature will still be activated and ready to use. All fabrics and slots are selected as default.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you turn off the chassis before issuing the RACADM
command racresetcfg.
After disabling only the FlexAddressPlus feature (leaving FlexAddress still activated), why does the
racadm setflexaddr command on the (stillactive) CMC fail?
If the CMC subsequently becomes active with the FlexAddressPlus feature card still in the card slot, the
FlexAddressPlus feature gets re-activated, and the slot or fabric flexaddress configuration changes can
resume.

The message "User has been disabled by CMC control" appears on the monitor connected to the front
panel. Why?
The front panel connection has been disabled by CMC. Enable the front panel using either the CMC Web
interface or RACADM.
To enable the front panel using the CMC Web interface, go toiKVM → Setup tab, select the Front Panel
USB/Video Enabled option, and click Apply to save the setting.
To enable the front panel using RACADM, open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC, log in, and
type:
racadm config -g cfgKVMInfo -o cfgKVMAccesToCMCEnable 1
The rear panel access does not work. Why?
The front panel setting is enabled by CMC, and a monitor is currently connected to the front panel.
