Users Guide

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.
