Users Guide

NOTE: The SD card must be physically installed in CMC, and the chassis must be turned off before
running the deactivation command.
If you run the deactivation command without installing an SD card, or with a card from a different chassis
installed, the feature is deactivated and change is not made to the card.
To deactivate the FlexAddress feature and restore the SD card:
racadm feature -d -c flexaddress
The command returns the following status message if it is successfully deactivated:
feature FlexAddress is deactivated on the chassis successfully.
If the chassis is not turned off before running the command, the command throws the following error:
ERROR: Unable to deactivate the feature because the chassis is powered ON
For further information about the command, see the feature command section of the Chassis
Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
