244 Using FlexAddress
The original feature card is no longer eligible for deactivation on that
or any other chassis, unless Dell Service re-programs the original
chassis service tag back into a chassis, and CMC that has the original
feature card is made active on that chassis.
• The FlexAddress feature remains activated on the originally bound
chassis. The
binding of that chassis feature is updated to reflect the
new service tag.
5 Do I get an error if I have two feature cards installed in my redundant
CMC system?
The feature card in the active CMC is active and installed in the chassis.
The second card is ignored by CMC.
6 Does the SD card have a write protection lock on it?
Yes it does. Before installing the SD card into the CMC module, verify the
write protection latch is in the unlock position. The FlexAddress feature
cannot be activated if the SD card is write protected. In this situation,
the
$racadm feature -s command returns this message:
No features active on the chassis. ERROR: read
only file system
7
What happens if there isn’t an SD card in the active CMC module?
The
$racadm featurecard -s command returns this message:
No feature card inserted.
8
What happens to my FlexAddress feature if the server BIOS is updated
from version 1.
xx to version 2. xx ?
The server module needs to be powered down before it can be used with
FlexAddress. After the server BIOS update is complete, the server module
does not get chassis-assigned addresses until the server has been power
cycled.
