Dell VRTX Mezzanine Mismatch

Hello, thanks for choosing Dell.
You can see Node 1 is the odd one out among all 4 nodes. So I would ask you to plug that out first and let us know what you see? Wish you a good one.

Could this be related to having 10g nics and 1g switch, i wouldn't think so since they are communicating at 1g.

idrac 7.0.0.0, cmc 3.41 and bios 2.18.1 are all up to date, that was the first thing i did. I have the R1-2401 1gb switch installed, the cmc can see all the network adapters installed in fabric a for each blade. And nothing is installed in fabric b or c on any blade.

I would start with verifying the VRTX and M640 are up to date, after that then I would confirm the hardware you have adheres to the guidelines laid out on page 34 and 35 here. 

Here's what i've tried.
Node 2, 3 4 only same result
Node 2 only same result
Node 1 only same result
It doesn't seem to matter if multiple blades are installed or not. I get this on every blade.

Hello would this help?

the configuration seems mismatched with the chassis.

The Blades for the VRTX are named MxxxP and not only Mxxx. They tell us a long time ago that there are differences.... but iam not sure.

I have my doubt that your 10G NIC conntects to the 1G internal switch. We always used a config which "matched".

When i was attaching photos to the previous post it accidently hit the accept as solution button.

So i have an os installed on all 4 blades and they run, they show connected via the switch interface.

All 4 blades are saying model: PowerEdge M640 (VRTX)

Thank you

could this be because i don't have mezzanine passthrough in the 2 mezzanine cards? currently there's nothing in the b/c fabric slots.

None of that makes any sense. 4 Blades, all 4 having the same exact problem no matter what slot of the chassis they are in. They have Dual 10g nic in fabric a but fabrics b/c are empty. There are no pci cards in the chassis. They all have Boss S1 cards installed that are working.

Thank you, sorry I missed you stating 8 risers. I am leaning towards the issue being the slot for riser F, as it persists even when swapped, but another thing you can try is swapping the CPUs and see if there is a change to the error or not. If not then you may want to consider the slot as the culprit.

I apologize for that, I accidentally posted to the wrong page, so the previous message had nothing to do with your issue. As far as the article, based on it it does appear that you are correct in your determination the 2 passthrough mezzs would be needed.

Sorry again for the misunderstanding.
