PowerEdge VRTX shared storage FAQ
How do you manage and provision your shared storage in PowerEdge VRTX ?
All of the management for the shared storage is done in the Chassis Management
Controller (CMC). OMSS will see the storage adaptor but can not manage it.
How are events in Shared Storage reported?
They are NOT visible to the OS on a server but come from the CMC.
How do I update my Shared Storage?
You must use CMC to update it.
How can I configure my Shared Storage?
You can use the CMC GUI, racadm, or WSMAN interfaces.
Can Virtual Disks be assigned to multiple blades?
YES, but they need to be part of Windows Failover Cluster or formatted as VMware’s
VMFS.
If I don’t add the server to the cluster – What can happen? (shared storage)
You can cause data-corruption by over-writing your data because it is not aware that two
or more system are writing to the same Virtual Disk.
Can CMC manage my storage local to the server node?
No, You will need iDRAC7 / LC or OMSA / OMSS to do it.

PCIe Mezzanine
• The PCIe Mezzanine card provides the interface between server
nodes and PCIe switches.
• Mezzanine cards occupy the Fabric B and C mezzanine card slots.
• No other mezzanine cards, such as Ethernet, Fibre Channel or
InfiniBand are allowed in servers configured for the VRTX system.

Single PCIe Mezzanine card

Dual PCIe Mezzanine cards

GPU Support
• GPUs on VRTX support VDI/Flex (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)
architectures. GPU cards in VRTX must be actively cooled.

• The GPU power cables on VRTX are the standard 2x3 which can
provide an additional 75W per cable. The Riser will support the
following maximum scenarios:
• Up to three single-wide GPGPU cards at 150W
• One double-wide GPGPU card at 225W + one single-wide

PowerEdge VRTX I/O FAQ
How do you make a PCIe slot available to a server node in PowerEdge VRTX ?
The assignments are made via the Chassis Management Controller (CMC)

How do I manage adapters in the PCIe slots?
Once mapped to a server via the CMC management of the adapter is done from that
server’s iDRAC7 or OpenManage Server Administrator

Are there best practices to maximize the performance of PCIe adapters?
A whitepaper will be available at launch

VRTX CMC – FAQ
•

Is the CMC code for VRTX the same as M1000e?
–
–

•

What are the features new for VRTX?
–
–
–
–

•

–

Chassis configuration profile propagation (new 4.3)
Boot order capture in BIOS profile (new 4.3)
Save & Restore of BIOS profiles to local hard drive (new 4.3)
All settings blade configuration capture and replication (new 4.4)
Slot based assignment of blade configuration profile, i.e. settings are applied when the blade is
inserted (new 4.4)
Check for default credentials with warning to user

Are a mixture of VRTX and M1000e supported in multi-chassis?
–

•

Shared storage and PCIe mapping features
More informative error messages with more options for selecting resulting alerts
Express CMC license option for single site SMB customers that lowers price at the expense of
enterprise features. Details on next slide
Express CMC independent of iDRAC7 Express/Enterprise option for servers

Notable features of M1000e not present in VRTX @ RTS
–
–
–
–
–

•

Built off of the same code base but unique firmware images for VRTX, M1000e
The VRTX code was built off of the 4.1 version so M1000e features delivered after that won’t
be picked up until a future Plasma release

No, all members of a cluster must match the lead chassis

What management is possible across the 9 chassis in multi-chassis?
–
–

Monitoring and inventory are available for multi-chassis
1:Many BIOS/FW update and BIOS configuration replication are within a chassis only

Features not licensed by reduced-cost Express CMC
Feature

Description

Redundant CMC

Second chassis management controller (CMC) for improved availability

Blade update

Enables updates to components on a blade/disables the ability

Remote syslog
Active Directory and LDAP
PK Authentication
Single Sign-on

Ability for the CMC to log messages to a remote syslog service.
Active Directory and LDAP for login authentication
PK Authentication for SSH
Single Sign-On for LDAP. Requires Active Directory/LDAP feature to be enabled.
This is the Integrated Windows Authentication feature using OS logon credentials
and not the simple token based local single sign on.
Two-Factor Authentication with smartcards. Requires Active Directory/LDAP
Remote File Share (RFS) option maps a file from a NFS/CIFS share on the network
to one or more blades through the iDRAC to deploy or update an operating system.
When connected, the remote file is accessible as if it is on the local system. When
using the CMC interface, the CMC passes the NFS/CIFS credentials to iDRAC to
initiate RFS.
Enables server node BIOS configuration capture & 1-to-many config. replication
Enclosure level power capping.
Enables/disables the ability to manage multiple chassis from a single CMC. This
needs to be licensed on both the master and the member devices.

Two-Factor Authentication
Remote File share

Advanced Configuration
Advanced Power Management
Chassis grouping
Enclosure level backup
Flex Address
Dynamic Power Supply

assignment (VRTX specific)
Geo Mapping in OM Essentials

Enables/disables the ability to perform backup of CMC settings. Restore is
available by default
Flex Addresses can be used. Requires the installation of an SD card which
contains the flex addresses
Ability to put power supply into a "hot spare" mode for greater power efficiency
Enables/disables the ability to assign PCI slots and virtual functions(shared
storage) to a specific blade. When disabled, the CMC will have a fixed assignment
of PCI slots to blades.
After inputting location information for the VRTX units this feature enable
Essentials to dynamically place the systems on a map along with their status
