Important Notes
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.
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.
Limitations
