174 Using FlexAddress
Viewing FlexAddress Status Using the CLI
You can use the command line interface to view FlexAddress status
information. You can view status information for the entire chassis or for a
particular slot. The information displayed includes:
• Fabric configuration
• FlexAddress enabled/disabled
• Slot number and name
• Chassis-assigned and server-assigned addresses
• Addresses in use
Use the following RACADM command to display FlexAddress status for the
entire chassis:
racadm getflexaddr
To display FlexAddress status for a particular slot:
racadm getflexaddr [-i <slot#>]
<slot#> = 1 to 16
Refer to "Configuring FlexAddress" for additional details on FlexAddress
configuration. For additional information on the command, see "getflexaddr"
on page 337.
Configuring FlexAddress Using the CLI
You can use the command line interface to enable or disable FlexAddress on a
per fabric basis. Additionally, you can enable/disable the feature on a per slot
basis. After you enable the feature on a per-fabric basis, you can then select
slots to be enabled. For example, if Fabric-A is enabled, any slots that are
enabled will have FlexAddress enabled only on Fabric-A. All other fabrics will
use the factory-assigned WWN/MAC on the server.
Enabled slots will be FlexAddress enabled for all fabrics that are enabled. For
example, it is not possible to enable Fabric-A and B, and have Slot 1 be
FlexAddress enabled on Fabric-A but not on Fabric-B.
Use the following RACADM command to enable or disable fabrics:
racadm setflexaddr [-f <fabricName> <state>]
