Important Notes Until the HDDs and PCIe cards are mapped by using the CMC web interface, the shared hard disk drives (HDDs) and PCIe cards are managed by the CMC and are not visible to the operating system in the server modules. For instructions about mapping PCIe cards and managing the storage subsystem, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX Version 1.2 User's Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals. All the server modules must be turned off before updating the firmware for chassis infrastructure and SPERC. CMC firmware can be updated while the servers are turned on. Some advanced features require CMC enterprise license. For more information about the CMC licenses, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX Version 1.2 User's Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals. Before updating the storage component using the web interface, make sure that the browser’s Cookies are enabled. Known Issues When multiple CMCs are grouped using the multi-chassis management feature in an Internet Explorer browser, if you pause the mouse over the chassis graphics, it may incorrectly show 25 HDDs in a 12-HDD chassis. Select the individual CMC in the group to view the correct chassis graphics, or use alternate browsers. When you add a member Chassis to a Chassis group using the Multi-Chassis Management feature, you cannot specify the group members with an IPv6 address.
