Actions
Check CMC to verify that the SD card was properly
inserted. In a redundant CMC configuration, ensure that the
CMC with the SD feature card installed is the active CMC
and not the standby CMC.
No action required.
Remove the SD card; locate and install the SD card for the
current chassis.
The feature card can be moved to another chassis or can
be reactivated on the current chassis. To reactivate on the
current chassis, enter racadm racreset until the CMC
module with the feature card installed becomes active.
