Dell FX2 CMC shows I/O module is in Standalone mode

I have Virtual Cluster consisting 3 chassis of Dell FX2.

I faced that CMC Web console shows that I/O modules in Standalone mode and Standalone Role on one chassis of three (Onlly Main Chassis)

However, I've checked the stack configuration from the Command line interface for chassis switch.

The stacking is working and topology as it should be. 

Any Ideas why it shows standalone in CMC?

Please see pictures below

VictorKor,

There are a few things required to set it to Full Switch, which are listed below. Would you confirm them for me?

  • Purchase FN IOM Full-switch Software License  -  Dell Kit 634-BEZP
  • Download and Install OS9.9 for FN IOM  -  (Requires Pro-Support, which it looks like you have)
  • Download and Install CMC 1.3 for FX2  -  CMC offers link-in-launch for Blade I/O Manager, embedded GUI for FN IOM
  • Change FN IOM mode for default "standalone" to "full-switch"  -  Use CMC/Blade/I/O Manager or CLI to change the mode of the device
  • Reboot the device  -  Use the CLI to manage the device in full-switch mode

Let me know what you see.

Good day @DELL-Chris H 

Thanks for your suggestion, 

I think there is no need for IOA re-configuration to "Full Switch". We have 3 Dell FX2 Chassis connected in series. All FX2 IOA are connected and configured with a "Stacking mode". 

Chasis A (Master), Chassis B (Standby), Chassis C (Member)

Chassis B, C CMC - IOA mode shows as "Stacking" which is correct

Chassis A CMC - IOA mode shows as "Standalone" which is not correct.

Please find Screenshots below
