Configuring Server FlexAddress
For information about configuring FlexAddress for servers, see
CMC Web
Interface. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise License.
Configuring Remote File Share
The Remote Virtual Media File Share feature maps a file from a share drive on the network to one or more servers through CMC to
deploy or update an operating system. When connected, the remote file is accessible similar to a file that you can access on a local
server. Two types of media are supported: floppy drives and CD/DVD drives.
To perform a remote file share operation (connect, disconnect, or deploy), you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator
or Server Administrator privileges. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise license.
To configure the remote file share:
1.
In the left pane, click Server Overview → Setup → Remote File Share.
2.
On the Deploy Remote File Share page, type appropriate data in the fields. For more information about the field descriptions,
see the Online Help.
3.
To connect to a remote file share, click Connect. To connect a remote file share, you must provide the path, user name, and
password. A successful operation allows access to the media.
Click Disconnect to disconnect a previously-connected remote file share.
Click Deploy to deploy the media device.
NOTE: Before you click the Deploy button, make sure that you save all the working files, because this action restarts
the server.
When you click Deploy, the following tasks are executed:
•
The remote file share is connected.
•
The file is selected as the first boot device for the servers.
•
The server is restarted.
•
Power is supplied to the server if the server is turned off.
Configuring Profile Settings Using Server Configuration Replication
The server configurations replicating feature allows you to apply all profile settings from a specified server to one or more servers.
Profile settings that can be replicated are those profile settings which can be modified and are intended to be replicated across
servers. The following three profile groups for servers are displayed and can be replicated:
•
BIOS — This group includes only the BIOS settings of a server. These profiles are generated from CMC for PowerEdge VRTX
version 1.00 and later.
•
BIOS and Boot — This group includes the BIOS and the Boot settings of a server. These profiles are generated from CMC for
PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later.
•
All Settings — This version includes all the settings of the server and components on that server. These profiles are generated
from
– CMC for PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later
– 12th generation servers with iDRAC7 1.00.00 or later and Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 or later
– 13th generation servers with iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller 2.00.00.00 or later
The server configurations replication feature supports iDRAC7 and later servers. Earlier generation RAC servers are listed but are
grayed out on the main page, and are not enabled to use this feature.
