What's New?

Initial Release

Fixes

Not applicable



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, until the HDDs and PCIe cards are mapped by

using the CMC web interface. For instructions about mapping PCIe cards and managing the

storage subsystem, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX Version 1.0

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 on.



Some advanced features require CMC enterprise license. For more information about the CMC

licenses, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX Version 1.0 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.

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.
