Fabric Configuration
The Fabric Configuration section displays the type of Input/Output fabric that is installed for Fabric A, Fabric B, and Fabric C. A
green check mark indicates that the fabric is enabled for FlexAddress. The FlexAddress feature is used to deploy chassis assigned
and slot persistent WWN/MAC addresses to various fabrics and slots within the chassis. This feature is enabled on a per fabric and
per slot basis.
NOTE: For more information on the FlexAddress feature, see About Flexaddress.
WWN/MAC Addresses
The WWN/MAC Address section displays the WWN/MAC information that is assigned to all servers, even if those server slots are
currently empty.
Location displays the location of the slot occupied by the Input/Output modules. The six slots are identified by a combination of
the group name (A, B, or C) and slot number (1 or 2): slot names A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, or C2. iDRAC is the server's integrated
management controller.
Fabric displays the type of the I/O fabric.
Server-Assigned displays the server-assigned WWN/MAC addresses embedded in the controller's hardware.
Chassis-Assigned displays the chassis-assigned WWN/MAC addresses used for the particular slot.
A green check mark in the Server-Assigned or in Chassis-Assigned columns indicates the type of active addresses. Chassis-
assigned addresses are assigned when FlexAddress is activated on the chassis, and represents the slot-persistent addresses. When
ChassisaAssigned addresses are checked, those addresses are used even if one server is replaced with another server.
