Manage PowerEdge MX chassis
The way that you manage an MX7000X chassis is different from managing other Dell EMC chassis such as M1000e, VRTX, and
FX2.
You can manage an MX chassis in a standalone mode having public IPs for Management Module and iDRAC IPs. Also, you can
configure an MX chassis in the Multi-Chassis Management (MCM) mode having one lead and multiple members.
Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise-Modular supports wired MCM groups. In the wired type, the chassis is daisy-chained or wired
through a redundant port on the management module. The chassis that you select for creating the group must be daisy-chained
to at least one chassis. For more information about creating the chassis group, see Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise-Modular
for PowerEdge MX7000 User's Guide at dell.com/support.
You can manage the servers present in an MX chassis in two ways:
1. Managing the servers using a host credential profile: The standard and recommended way of managing the servers
where all the functions are supported. In this case, the chassis is discovered only after MX host inventory is complete. For
more information about creating a host credential profile, see Create host credential profile on page 38.
2. Managing the servers using a chassis credential profile: If you choose to manage your hosts using the chassis
credential profile, OMIVV features such as, inventory, monitoring, firmware, and driver updates are supported. For more
information about managing chassis and host using the chassis credential profile, see Create chassis credential profile on
page 42.
NOTE: OMIVV does not support managing the PowerEdge MX chassis with backup lead configuration.
NOTE: If the IPv4 address of the iDRAC is disabled, you can choose to manage the server using the chassis credential
profile. If you are managing the server using the chassis credential profile, the following OMIVV functions are not supported:
● iDRAC Lockdown mode
● Ability to use this server as a reference server to capture System Profile
● OS deployment
● Getting or updating CSIOR status
● Server configuration compliance
● Few inventory-related information
NOTE: The hosts with a public IPv4 iDRAC IP can also be managed using the chassis credential profile. However, it is not
recommended because the above listed functions are not supported.
