Release Notes

Resolution
If the storage enclosure is disconnected accidentally, reconnect it to get back to normal state. If it is
intentional, perform iDRAC8 reboot or server power cycle to remove the enclosure entries from the
consoles.
Versions/Systems Affected
All Dell PowerEdge systems with iDRAC8 and out-of-band enabled PERC storage controllers.
Issue 10:
Description
After performing storage operations on PERC through Option-ROM (CTRL-R) or before a system reset
(warm boot), the corresponding events are not recorded in Lifecycle log. SNMP traps are generated and
the corresponding inventory changes are not reflected in the iDRAC8 Web interface or RACADM.
Resolution
To update the storage inventory, perform a server power cycle (cold boot).
Versions/Systems Affected
All Dell PowerEdge systems with iDRAC8 and out-of-band enabled PERC storage controllers.
Issue 11:
Description
For storage configuration operations (example, virtual disk creation, assign hot spare, and so on) that are
executed real-time (that is, not requiring a server reboot), the corresponding job status may be displayed
as failed even though the operation was successful.
Resolution
View the Lifecycle Controller Logs to check whether there are any relevant messages indicating the
success of the individual configuration operations. Alternatively, view the refreshed inventory of the
storage subsystem using any of the iDRAC8 interfaces and verify if the applied configuration has taken
effect. Do not combine multiple configuration operations within the same real-time job instead perform
each configuration as a separate job.
Versions/Systems Affected
All Dell PowerEdge systems with iDRAC8 and out-of-band enabled PERC storage controllers.
Issue 12:
Description
In some scenarios, typically when a PCIe SSD is removed from a server slot and a different PCIe SSD is
inserted quickly (that is, within 5-10 seconds) into the same slot, the server fan speeds may not get
optimally configured to accommodate the thermal profile or tier of the inserted PCIe SSD.
Resolution
Power cycle the server.
Versions/Systems Affected
All Dell PowerEdge systems with iDRAC8 and PCIe SSDs.
Issue 13:
Description:
When using CIFS mount using host IPv6 address to perform firmware update, the update job may be
unsuccessful. A typical CIFS IPv6 address of the form 2620:14c:804:23a0:a410:8014:8dab:5e4c as part of
update xml mail because the mount command does not connect to the share drive.
