NOTE: You must lock the SD card prior to inserting in the USB "Memory Card
Reader" to prevent accidently modifying any of the contents. You must unlock the
SD card before inserting into the CMC.
FlexAddress Plus
The FlexAddress Plus is a new feature added to the feature card version 2.0.
FlexAddress Plus expands the number of MAC addresses to 3136 from the
original FlexAddress pool of 208.
Activating FlexAddress
FlexAddress is delivered on a Secure Digital (SD) card that must be inserted
into the CMC to provide the chassis-assigned WWN/MAC IDs. To activate
the FlexAddress feature, perform several required updates; if you are not
activating FlexAddress, these updates are not required. The updates, which
are listed in the following table, include server module BIOS, I/O mezzanine
BIOS or firmware, and CMC firmware. You must apply these updates before
you enable FlexAddress. If these updates are not applied, the FlexAddress
feature may not function as expected.
NOTE: All systems purchased after June 2008 have the correct firmware versions
installed.
