For more information about the setflexaddr command, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.

NOTE: If you purchase the FlexAddress or FlexAddressPlus feature with your Dell PowerEdge VRTX, it is preinstalled and enabled for all slots and fabrics. To purchase this feature, contact Dell at dell.com.

NOTE: By using the racresetcfg subcommand, you can reset the Flex Address of a CMC to its factory-default setting, which is “disabled”. The RACADM syntax is:

racadm racresetcfg -c flex

For more information about the FlexAddress-related RACADM commands and data about the other factory-default properties, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

Viewing World Wide Name/Media Access Control (WWN/ MAC) Addresses

The WWN/MAC Summary page allows you to view the WWN configuration and MAC address of a slot in the chassis.

Fabric Configuration

The Fabric Configuration section displays the type of Input/Output fabric that is installed for Fabric A. A green check mark indicates that the fabric is enabled for FlexAddress. The FlexAddress feature is used to deploy chassis assigned and slot persistent WWN/MAC addresses to various fabrics and slots within the chassis. This feature is enabled on a per-fabric and per-slot–basis.
