Understanding Redundant CMC Environment
You can install a standby CMC that takes over if your active CMC fails. The redundant CMC may be pre-installed or can
be installed later. It is important that CMC network is properly cabled to ensure full redundancy or best performance.
Failovers can occur when you:
•
Run the RACADM cmcchangeover command. (See the cmcchangeover command section in the
RACADM Command
Line Reference Guide for iDRAC7 and CMC)
.
•
Run the RACADM racreset command on the active CMC. (See the racreset command section in the
RACADM
Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC6 and CMC)
.
•
Reset the active CMC from Web interface. (See the Reset CMC option for Power Control Operations that is described
in
Executing Power Control Operations
•
Remove the network cable from the active CMC.
•
Remove the active CMC from the chassis.
•
Initiate a CMC firmware flash on the active CMC.
•
Have an active CMC that is no longer functional.
NOTE: In the event of a CMC failover, all iDRAC connections and all active CMC sessions are lost. Users with
lost sessions must reconnect to the new active CMC.
