Frequently Asked Questions

How do I troubleshoot a non-functional Chassis Management Controller (CMC)?

Connect a Serial cable to the CMC and use 'racadm getconfig -g cfglannetworking' to check network settings. If unsuccessful, physically remove and reinsert the CMC.

How can I check the current firmware versions for comprehensive updates?

Use RACADM with 'getversion', or navigate through the CMC Web Interface at Chassis Overview → Update.

What command do I run if the M1000e chassis only has a single CMC device?

Use the racadm racreset command to reset the CMC.
