Resetting DELL FX2 chassis CMC and config data

Hello

It will not affect other settings.

Thanks

Can we reset this CMC by clicking i button on that module Daniel? Or as shown in manual guide with Jumper on CMC Module. But currently we hard to find this jumper for that and a little bit delayed. So please help and guide me another rules. With Regards, Myat

I take that back, it does work as expected. just need to the be on the secure vlan that is allow access to idrac's.

BTW - I have found Dell techs to be some of the best i've worked with in my career.

same issue of finding a jumper, however, when I did and followed the procedure it did not work. So, any helpful hints on why it didn't work would help me out

 

Hi everyone,

After I config vLAN for Fx2s, I can't access to Web interface by ip 192.168.0.120. I've use Advanced IP Scanner but not have any ip for Web interface.

So, I think need reset to factory settings DELL CHASSIS MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER MODULE CMC FOR DELL POWEREDGE FX2S.

Please help me.

Thank so much,

Hello @Hailtu,

 

Please, check this article: Dell FX2 - How to set IP Address for the CMC?

 

You have a bunch of options for setting back the IP to what you need.

Dear Diego Lopez,

Dear Diego Lopez,

Thanks for help.

I've solved it with: Set the CMC IP address via the Sled HII
