Changing Slot Name in M1000e Enclosure

Nixzoom,

What you will need to do is the following;

1 Log in to the CMC Web interface.

2 Select Server Overview in the Chassis menu in the system tree.

3 Click Setup - Slot Names. The Slot Names page displays.

4 Type the updated or new name for a slot in the Slot Name field. Repeat

this action for each slot you want to rename.

5 Click Apply.

To restore the default slot name (SLOT-01 to SLOT-16, based on the

server's slot position) to the server, press Restore Default Value.

You can also find this on pg 125 of this manual, if that helps as well - ftp.dell.com/.../dell-chassis-mgmt-cntrllr-v3.1_User%27s%20Guide_en-us.pdf

Let me know how it goes.

Thank you very much for this information -  7 years later;  this method still works with FX2 CMC and has save me oodles of time on a weekend to resolve.

Try to change the name of idrac from blade server, ssh to idrac IP log as root:
