Dell Feature Cards may contain more than one feature. Once any feature included on a Dell Feature Card has been activated on a chassis,
any other features that may be included on that Dell Feature Card cannot be activated on a dierent chassis. In this case, the racadm
feature -s command displays the following message for the aected features:
ERROR: One or more features on the SD card are active on another chassis
For more information on the feature andfeaturecard commands, see the Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge M1000e
RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
Deactivating FlexAddress
The FlexAddress or feature can be deactivated and the SD card returned to a pre-installation state using a RACADM command. There is no
deactivation function within the Web interface. Deactivation returns the SD card to its original state where it can be installed and activated
on a dierent chassis. The term FlexAddress, in this context, implies both FlexAddress and FlexAddressPlus.
NOTE
: The SD card must be physically installed in CMC, and the chassis must be powered-down before executing the
deactivation command.
If you execute the deactivation command with no card installed, or with a card from a dierent chassis installed, the feature is deactivated
and no change is made to the card.
To deactivate the FlexAddress feature and restore the SD card:
racadm feature -d -c flexaddress
The command returns the following status message if it is successfully deactivated:
feature FlexAddress is deactivated on the chassis successfully.
