Configuring Services Using RACADM
To enable and configure the various services, use the following RACADM objects:
• cfgRacTuning
• cfgRacTuneRemoteRacadmEnable
For more information about these objects, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line
Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
If the firmware on the server does not support a feature, configuring a property related to that feature displays an error. For example,
using RACADM to enable remote syslog on an unsupported iDRAC displays an error message.
Similarly, when displaying the iDRAC properties using the RACADM getconfig command, the property values are displayed as N/A for
an unsupported feature on the server.
For example:
$ racadm getconfig -g cfgSessionManagement -m server-1
# cfgSsnMgtWebServerMaxSessions=N/A
# cfgSsnMgtWebServerActiveSessions=N/A
# cfgSsnMgtWebServerTimeout=N/A
# cfgSsnMgtSSHMaxSessions=N/A
# cfgSsnMgtSSHActiveSessions=N/A
# cfgSsnMgtSSHTimeout=N/A
# cfgSsnMgtTelnetMaxSessions=N/A
# cfgSsnMgtTelnetActiveSessions=N/A
# cfgSsnMgtTelnetTimeout=N/A
Configuring CMC Extended Storage Card
You can enable or repair the optional Removable Flash Media for use as an extended non-volatile storage. Some CMC features depend on
extended nonvolatile storage for their operation.
To enable or repair the Removable Flash Media using the CMC web interface:
1. In the left pane, go to Chassis Overview, and then click Chassis Controller > Flash Media.
2. On the Removable Flash Media page, from the drop-down menu, select one of the following as appropriate:
• Repair active controller media
• Stop using flash media for storing chassis data
For more information about these options, see the Online Help.
3. Click Apply to apply the selected option.
If two CMCs are present in the chassis, both CMCs (active and standby) must contain flash media; else, the Extended Storage
functionality will be degraded unless both the active and standby CMCs contain flash media.
Setting Up Chassis Group
CMC enables you to monitor multiple chassis from a single lead chassis. When a chassis group is enabled, CMC in the lead chassis
generates a graphical display of the status of the lead chassis and all member chassis within the chassis group. To use this feature, you
must have an Enterprise License.
The Chassis group features are:
• Displays images portraying the front and back of each chassis, a set for the leader and a set for each member.
• Health concerns for the leader and members of a group are recognized by red or yellow overlays and an X or an ! on the component
with the symptoms. Details are visible below the chassis image when you click the chassis image or Details.
• Quick launch links are available for opening member chassis’s or server’s web pages.
• A server and Input/Output inventory is available for a group.
• A selectable option is available to synchronize a new member’s properties to the leader’s properties when the new member is added to
the group.
A chassis group may contain a maximum of eight members. Also, a leader or member can only participate in one group. You cannot join a
chassis, either as a leader or member, that is part of a group to another group. You can delete the chassis from a group and add it later to
a different group.
