Troubleshooting

This section contains troubleshooting information for DSDP.

Health of PCI device drivers shows critical

Post OS deployment, the health of the PCI device drivers shows critical for latest iDRAC9-based PowerEdge servers under Device

Manager > Other devices.

Workaround: Ensure that you download the latest PCI device drivers from the dell.com/support site, and update.

Uninstalling Dell EMC Server Deployment Pack using the

Control Panel

When uninstalling DSDP using the Control Panel, if uninstallation fails with the following error message:

“Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\Windows

\Installer\Dell_EMC Server Deployment Pack v4.1 for Configuration Manager.msi”

Then to uninstall DSDP, double-click the DSDP setup executable or use the command line method.

Installing Dell EMC Server Deployment Pack when one or

more SMS providers are down

You cannot install DSDP successfully when one or more SMS providers are down. You can verify if the SMS providers are running in the

Configuration Manager.

To verify the status of the SMS providers in the Configuration Manager, click Monitoring > Overview > System Status >

Component Status. The status of the components is displayed on the right-hand side. Ensure that the SMS providers are up and

running.

Deploying OS on 13th generation of PowerEdge platforms

using WinPE 3.0

As the drivers for USB3.0 are not available in WinPE 3.0, the OS deployment may fail if the BIOS config settings for USB 3.0 Setting and

Memory Mapped I/O above 4 GB are enabled.
