CMC Module. Before You Begin. Initial Setup Sequence. Configuring the CMC. Web-Based Interface. Switch Modules. Pass-Through Modules. Your system can include up to 16 half-height blades server modules , eight full-height blades, or a mixture of the two blade types see Figure , Figure , and Figure NOTE: To ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays in the enclosure must be populated at all times with either a module or with a blank.
See Figure You can change the default language and start-up screen for the LCD menu screens using this menu. From the Server Menu dialog box, you can highlight each blade in the enclosure using the arrow keys, and view its status.
An active blade is indicated by a green rectangle. If a blade has errors, this condition is indicated by an amber rectangle. An active module is indicated by a green rectangle. If a module has errors, it is indicated by an amber rectangle. Figure shows a fully configured enclosure. CMC daisy chaining can be utilized to minimize the number of network connections required for chassis enclosure management, such that only one or two network connections depending on whether or not redundant CMCs are installed are needed for up to four Me enclosures.
Follow these guidelines to daisy chain CMC modules from enclosure to enclosure:. Do not connect this cable directly to the management network. Figure shows four enclosures with redundant CMC modules installed. No cable is required in port STK on the fourth enclosure in line. The same cabling scheme is valid for the daisy chain of CMC modules in the secondary slot of the enclosures.
The optional Avocent iKVM analog switch module provides connections for a keyboard, video monitor , and mouse. It includes the following:. Use the iDRAC console interface to disable the sharing of the console session. The iKVM supports a video display resolution range from x at 60 Hz up to x x 65, colors at 75 Hz. The iKVM can also be accessed from the front of the enclosure, providing front or rear panel KVM functionality, but not at the same time.
It does not interrupt iDRAC video and console redirection. Doing so may damage the equipment. Welcome to ManualMachine. We have sent a verification link to to complete your registration.

About Your System Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions specific to cable type, refer to the cable manufacturer's documentation.
Repeat for the remaining transceivers as required. Connect the cables to the transceivers. The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented and that the end caps have been removed. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. Verify the correct operation of the converged network switch by typing the switchShow command from the workstation.
This command provides information about the switch module and port status. Verify the correct operation of the converged network switch in the fabric by typing the fabricShow command from the workstation. Back up the switch module configuration to an FTP server by typing the configUpload command and following the prompts.
These commands upload the converged network switch configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement converged network switch if necessary. Additionally the CEE configuration should be backed up on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch module.
This setting affects the configuration process for the FOS portion of the switch module. In NPIV aggregator mode, only a limited subset of the fabric operating system commands are available and all fabric-related service requests are forwarded to the fabric switches. Using the converged network switch CLI, verify the desired switch operating mode The switch module is shipped with Access Gateway Mode enabled :.
Log onto the switch module through an SSH or Telnet connection, using the admin account default password: password. If your converged network switch is currently configured in NPIV mode the factory default setting , you can enable the module for full fabric mode by disabling Access Gateway mode. When you do this, the module automatically reboots in full fabric mode.
Disabling NPIV mode is disruptive because the switch is disabled and rebooted. Always back up the current configuration before enabling or disabling NPIV mode. Enabling NPIV mode clears the security and zone databases. Back up the switch configurations.
Enter the following command to enable full fabric mode:. The switch module automatically reboots and comes back online in full fabric mode. The NPIV parameters, such as port mapping and failover and failback, are automatically removed. If your converged network switch is currently configured in full fabric mode you canenable NPIV mode using the following instructions The switch GUI also provides a method to change NPIV mode in the advanced menu, see the.
Enter the following command to enable NPIV mode:. Enter ag ——help command to display a list of all NPIV actions. Therefore at least one of the external FC ports must be connected to an external FC switch fabric in order for the internal ports connected to Converged Network Adapter's CNA's to be able to login to the FCoE ports on the switch module.
The connectivity of the switch module with the CNA's can be verified using the FOS commands switchshow and fcoe --loginshow. Perform these steps to back up the switch module configuration to an FTP server. Open a Telnet or SSH session to the switch module. Enter the following command to upload the basic configuration of the switch module:. Follow the prompts to upload the configuration. You are then prompted for a password. When you enter the ftp password, the copy procedure begins.
These commands upload the switch module configurations to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement switch module if necessary.
Dell recommends backing up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch module. Welcome to ManualMachine. We have sent a verification link to to complete your registration. Log In Sign Up. Forgot password?

Overview This Getting Started Guide is intended as an overview to help experienced installers unpack, install, and configure the Dell Mk quickly. FIGURE 1 Port Side of Mk Unpacking and installing the converged network switch If the converged network switch is installed in the blade server enclosure that is shipped to you, skip this section.
Dell Mk Getting Started Guide 3 of Configuring the converged network switch Use procedures in this section to configure the converged network switch to operate on a network and fabric. Modify the converged network switch Ethernet management IP address By default, the Ethernet management IP address for the converged network switch is configured as Connecting to the converged network switch management interface After succesfully setting the IP address of the switch module, a terminal emulator Telnet, SSH CLI connection can be established to the converged switch module, from a remote management workstation, through the Chassis Management Controller CMC Ethernet port.
Once in the command shell, enter the following command: enable 4. Then Enter the following command to enter configure mode: configure terminal 5. Enter the following commands: a. NOTE The internal ports are numbered 1 through 16 corresponding to the server blade slot positions.
Enter the following command to save the running config as the startup config: write memory Answer yes to overwrite the startup file. Dell Mk Getting Started Guide 11 of Connecting the converged network switch to the fabric 1. Orient a cable connector so that the key the ridge on one side of connector aligns with the slot in the transceiver e.
Using the converged network switch CLI, verify the desired switch operating mode The switch module is shipped with Access Gateway Mode enabled : Log onto the switch module through an SSH or Telnet connection, using the admin account default password: password.
Changing from NPIV aggregator mode to full fabric mode If your converged network switch is currently configured in NPIV mode the factory default setting , you can enable the module for full fabric mode by disabling Access Gateway mode. Dell Mk Getting Started Guide 13 of Log in using the default administrative account.
Login: admin Password: password 2. Enter the following command to disable the switch. Enter the following command to enable full fabric mode: ag ——modeDisable The switch module automatically reboots and comes back online in full fabric mode. Enter the following command to disable full fabric mode. Backing up the configuration Perform these steps to back up the switch module configuration to an FTP server.
