* The RACADM command line tool uses TFTP to transfer image files for all
firmware updates. Only the default port for TFTP (69) is supported.
(157754)
* Clearing the CMC log may take up to one (1) minute to complete. (152860)
* If the CMC is on a private network without access to the Internet
and you are using Internet Explorer 6 SP 2 or Internet Explorer 7,
you may experience delays of up to 30 seconds when using remote
RACADM commands. (161019)
* Some USB-to-serial adapters generate a large number of spurious interrupts
when plugged in. If the adapter is connected to the CMC's serial port
when this happens, the CMC may become overloaded while attempting to service
these interrupts and may reboot. This problem is exacerbated when the
serial cable is very long, causing voltage levels to drop and noise on the
serial line to increase. To avoid this issue, Dell recommends first connecting
the USB-to-serial adapter into the USB port, before connecting to the CMC.
Dell also recommends disconnecting the adapter from the CMC before rebooting
or performing other power management functions on a system that is attached
to the CMC. (180373)
* If you setup Active Directory (AD) on the CMC using extended schema and the
built-in Administrator privilege object, and then attempt to login to the
CMC User Interface using this AD account, after a successful AD login, the
user name and privilege level displayed on the right-hand side of the User
Interface just beneath the log out link is displayed as a custom user rather
than the privilege as created on the AD side (example: Administrator,
power user). (183449)
* Using the RACADM command line utility, if you attempt to set the DNS
CMC Name or DNS Domain Name without the proper rules, (Rules: A string
of upto 63 (for CMC Name) / 254 (for DNS Domain Name) alphanumeric
characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and hyphens ), the utility may display a non-
specific error message (ERROR: Unable to perform requested operation).
Enter a valid string for the above mentioned names.(173204)
* A 'racadm config' operation may fail, due to configuration property
definition changes across firmware versions. For example, if the set of
allowable values for a configuration property has been changed, and
a snapshot of the prior values (from 'racadm getconfig') is used in
a 'racadm config' operation on a newer version of firmware, the prior
values may no longer be accepted, and thus cause the racadm config
operation to fail.(229764)
To resolve this issue, comment out the prior value in the captured file,
and restart the 'racadm config' operation.
The following lists the racadm property definitions that differ, depending
on the CMC firmware version:
