Dell POWEREDGE M1000E - Manual (Page 253)

NOTE: If the standby CMC firmware is not updated to 1.10 or later and a failover occurs, the FlexAddress feature is
not configured. The feature must be reactivated and reconfigured again.
How can a SD card be recovered if the SD card was not in the chassis when the deactivation command was executed
on the FlexAddress?
The issue is that the SD card cannot be used to install FlexAddress on another chassis if it was not in CMC when the
FlexAddress was deactivated. To recover use of the card, insert the card back into a CMC in the chassis that it is bound
to, reinstall FlexAddress, and then deactivate FlexAddress, again.
The SD card is properly installed and all the firmware or software updates are installed. The FlexAddress is active, but
the server deployment screen does not display the options to deploy it? What is wrong?
This is a browser caching issue. Shut down the browser and relaunch.
What happens to FlexAddress if I need to reset my chassis configuration using the RACADM command, racresetcfg?
The FlexAddress feature will still be activated and ready to use. All fabrics and slots are selected as default.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you turn off the chassis before issuing the RACADM command
racresetcfg.
After disabling only the FlexAddressPlus feature (leaving FlexAddress still activated), why does the racadm setflexaddr
command on the (stillactive) CMC fail?
If the CMC subsequently becomes active with the FlexAddressPlus feature card still in the card slot, the
FlexAddressPlus feature gets re-activated, and the slot or fabric flexaddress configuration changes can resume.
iKVM
The message "User has been disabled by CMC control" appears on the monitor connected to the front panel. Why?
The front panel connection has been disabled by CMC. Enable the front panel using either the CMC Web interface or
RACADM.
To enable the front panel using the CMC Web interface, go toiKVM → Setup tab, select the Front Panel USB/Video
Enabled option, and click Apply to save the setting.
To enable the front panel using RACADM, open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC, log in, and type:
racadm config -g cfgKVMInfo -o cfgKVMAccesToCMCEnable 1
The rear panel access does not work. Why?
The front panel setting is enabled by CMC, and a monitor is currently connected to the front panel.
Only one connection is allowed at a time. The front panel connection has precedence over ACI and the rear panel. For
more information about connection precedence, see iKVM Connection Precedences.
The message "User has been disabled as another appliance is currently tiered" appears on the monitor connected to the
rear panel. Why?
A network cable is connected to the iKVM ACI port connector and to a secondary KVM appliance.
Only one connection is allowed at a time. The ACI tiering connection has precedence over the rear panel monitor
connection. The precedence order is front panel, ACI, and then rear panel.
The iKVM’s amber LED is blinking. Why?
There are three possible causes:
• There is problem with the iKVM, for which the iKVM requires reprogramming. To fix the problem, follow the
instructions for updating iKVM firmware.
• The iKVM is reprogramming the CMC Console Interface. In this case, the CMC Console is temporarily unavailable
and represented by a yellow dot in the OSCAR interface. This process takes up to 15 minutes.
