Configuring FlexAddress for Chassis-Level Fabric and Slots At the chassis level, you can enable or disable the FlexAddress feature for fabrics and slots. FlexAddress is enabled on a per-fabric-basis and then slots are selected for participation in the feature. Both fabrics and slots must be enabled to successfully configure FlexAddress. Configuring FlexAddress for Chassis-Level Fabric and Slots Using CMC Web Interface If a server is present in the slot, turn it off before enabling the FlexAddress feature on that slot. To enable or disable fabric and slots to use the FlexAddress feature using the CMC Web interface: 1. In the left pane, click Server Overview → Setup → FlexAddress. . 2. On the Deploy FlexAddress page, in the Select Fabrics for Chassis-Assigned WWN/MACs section, select the fabric type (Fabric-A or iDRAC) to which you want to enable FlexAddress. To disable, clear the option. NOTE: If no fabric is selected, the following message is displayed. FlexAddress is not enabled for the selected slots. 3. On the Select Slots for Chassis-Assigned WWN/MACs page, select the Enabled option for the slot to which you want to enable FlexAddress. To disable, clear the option. NOTE: If a slot is not selected, FlexAddress is not enabled for the selected fabric. 4. To save the settings, click Apply. Configuring FlexAddress for Chassis-Level Fabric and Slots Using RACADM To enable or disable fabrics, use the following RACADM command: racadm setflexaddr [-f ] where, = A or iDRAC and = 0 or 1 0 is disable and 1 is enable. To enable or disable slots, use the following RACADM command: racadm setflexaddr [-i where, = 1 or 4 and = 0 or 1 0 is disable and 1 is enable. For more information about the setflexaddr command, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide. NOTE: If you purchase the FlexAddress or FlexAddressPlus feature with your Dell PowerEdge VRTX, it is preinstalled and enabled for all slots and fabrics.
