23 PowerEdge FX2 – FN I/O Module – VLT Deployment Guide | Version 2.2
6.1 Environment One: VLT mode configuration
This configuration requires the IOMs to be changed from the default mode of Standalone to VLT mode.
Figure 20 presents the steps necessary to first verify the current mode of the IOMs, then to change
IOMs to VLT mode. When validating the configurations in this guide the following management IP
addresses (Table 5) were used.
