Do not use underscore in the hostname
Description
CAUTION: It is recommended not to use underscore in the hostname, the
Open Manage Server Administrator (OMSA) portal may not work.
Workaround/
Solution
For the new host name to take effect, manually change the hostname through the
operating system and restart the appliance.
On rebooting your appliance a random drive letter is
assigned to the Repository VD
Description After provisioning and rebooting the appliance the drive letter for the repository
disk changes after Remount of Volumes.
Workaround/
Solution
If the letter is assigned to the volume, it can be removed using the Disk
Management tool. However, if the repository has already been expanded using the
assigned letter, the repository becomes unreachable. To workaround this issue:
1. Go to Repositories tab.
2. Click fix repository paths button.
3. For the failed repository, replace the unreachable paths (that contain the
removed volume letter) with a valid path.
4. Save changes and run the repository check.
Dell DL Appliance Applications fail with an error during
the Recovery and Update Utility

Workaround/
Solution
Contact support. RUU is an important tool that introduces many changes to the
environment, if some of the steps cannot be executed, the system might be left in
an inconsistent state.
