Configuring Sled Network Uplink; Deploying Remote File Share; Configuring Server Flexaddress - Dell PowerEdge FX2 User Manual

Configuring sled network uplink

You can configure the Sled Network Uplink only on the PowerEdge FM120x4 sleds that contain an internal network switch.
To configure the Sled Network Uplink, go to Chassis Overview → Server Overview → Setup → Sled Network Uplink
Select one of the following values for Sled network uplink configuration Property:
• Standard (aggregated): Uplink configuration where all four IOM uplink ports are configured in a single trunk group and all LOMs
are mapped to that group. This is selected by default.
• Network adapter isolation (enhanced security): Uplink configuration similar to standard, but routing between local nodes is not
allowed.
• Isolated networks: Uplink configuration where each node's LOM1 is mapped to IOM A1 and LOM2 is mapped to IOM A2.
• Enhanced Network Adapter Isolation: Uplink configuration for enhanced security in multi-tenant configurations. This
configuration isolates the individual network adapters with a dedicated IOM port mapped to the LOM of each node. Only the
LOM1 on each node is operational.
NOTE: While downgrading from CMC version 1.3 or later, if the Sled network uplink configuration is set to Enhanced
Network Adapter Isolation, then the Sled network uplink configuration is blank in CMC 1.2 or earlier versions. In the CLI,
the invalid value '4', is displayed as the output for the command:
$ getconfig –g cfgRacTuning –o cfgRacTuneSledNetworkUplink

Deploying 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 CMC for Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s 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.
