182 Using FlexAddress
module will not get chassis-assigned addresses until the server has been
power cycled.
9 What will happen if a chassis with a single CMC is downgraded with
firmware prior to 1.10?
The FlexAddress feature and configuration will be removed. After the
CMC firmware is upgraded to 1.10 or later, the FlexAddress feature will
need to be reactivated and configured by the user.
10 In a chassis with redundant CMCs, if you are replacing a CMC unit with
one that has firmware prior to 1.10, the following procedure must be used
to ensure the current FlexAddress feature and configuration will NOT be
removed.
a Ensure the active CMC firmware is always version 1.10 or later.
b Remove the standby CMC and insert the new CMC in its place.
c From the Active CMC, upgrade the standby CMC firmware to 1.10
later.
NOTE: If a user does not update the standby CMC firmware to 1.10 or later and a
failover occurs, the FlexAddress feature will not be configured and the user will
need to reactivate the feature.
11 I have the SD card properly installed and all the firmware/software updates
installed. I see that FlexAddress is active, but I can’t see anything on the
server deployment screen to deploy it? What is wrong?
