Are there any restrictions on Domain Controller SSL configuration?

Yes. All SSL certificates for Active Directory servers in the forest must be signed by the same root certificate authority-signed certificate, because CMC only allows upload of one trusted certificate authority-signed SSL certificate.

The Web interface does not launch after a new RAC certificate is created and uploaded.

If Microsoft Certificate Services is used to generate the RAC certificate, the User Certificate option may have been used instead of Web Certificate, when creating the certificate.

To recover, generate a CSR, create a new Web certificate from Microsoft Certificate Services, and then upload it by running the following RACADM commands:

racadm sslcsrgen [-g] [-f {filename}]

racadm sslcertupload -t 1 -f {web_sslcert}

What happens if a feature card is removed?

There is no visible change if a feature card is removed. Feature cards can be removed and stored, or can be left in place.

What happens if a feature card that was used in one chassis is removed and put into another chassis?

The Web interface displays the following error message:

This feature card was activated with a different chassis. It must be removed before accessing the FlexAddress feature.

Current Chassis Service Tag = XXXXXXXX

Feature Card Chassis Service Tag = YYYYYYYY

An entry is added to the CMC log that states:

cmc <date timestamp> : feature 'FlexAddress@YYYYYYYY' not activated; chassis ID='XXXXXXXX'

What happens if the feature card is removed and a non-FlexAddress card is installed?

No activation or modifications to the card should occur. The card is ignored by CMC. In this situation, the $racadm featurecard -s command returns the following message:

No feature card inserted

ERROR: can't open file
