NOTE: While downgrading from CMC version 1.3 or later, if the Sled network uplink conguration is set to Enhanced Network

Adapter Isolation, then the Sled network uplink conguration is blank in CMC 1.2 or earlier versions. In the CLI, the invalid value

‘4’, is displayed as the output for the command:

$ getconfig –g cfgRacTuning –o cfgRacTuneSledNetworkUplink

Deploying remote le share

The Remote Virtual Media File Share feature maps a le from a share drive on the network to one or more servers through CMC to deploy

or update an operating system. When connected, the remote le is accessible similar to a le that you can access on a local server. Two

types of media are supported: oppy drives and CD/DVD drives.

To perform a remote le share operation (connect, disconnect, or deploy), you must have the Chassis Conguration Administrator or

Server Administrator privileges. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise license.

To congure the remote le share:

1 In the left pane, click Server Overview > Setup > Remote File Share.

2 On the Deploy Remote File Share page, type appropriate data in the elds. For more information about the eld descriptions, see the

CMC for Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s Online Help.

3 To connect to a remote le share, click Connect. To connect a remote le share, you must provide the path, user name, and

password. A successful operation allows access to the media.

Click Disconnect to disconnect a previously-connected remote le share.

Click Deploy to deploy the media device.

NOTE

: Before you click the Deploy button, make sure that you save all the working les, because this action restarts the

server.

When you click Deploy, the following tasks are executed:

• The remote le share is connected.

• The le is selected as the rst boot device for the servers.

• The server is restarted.

• Power is supplied to the server if the server is turned o.

Conguring server FlexAddress

For information about conguring FlexAddress for servers, see Conguring FlexAddress for Chassis-Level Fabric and Slots Using CMC Web

Interface. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise License.

Conguring prole settings using server conguration

replication

The server congurations replicating feature allows you to apply all prole settings from a specied server to one or more servers. Prole

settings that can be replicated are those prole settings which can be modied and are intended to be replicated across servers. The

following three prole groups for servers are displayed and can be replicated:

• BIOS — This group includes only the BIOS settings of a server.

• BIOS and Boot — This group includes the BIOS and the Boot settings of a server.

• All Settings — This version includes all the settings of the server and components on that server. These proles are generated from:

– 12th generation servers with iDRAC7 1.57.57 or later and Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 or later

– 13th generation servers with iDRAC8 2.05.05 with Lifecycle Controller 2.00.00.00 or later.
