Issue 233109:
Description
In rare instances, iDRAC may lose connectivity with an internal memory component without generating any alert or log
entry. When this occurs, operations that require a soft reset such as racreset, racresetcfg, firmware update, and factory
reset may render iDRAC unresponsive until an AC power cycle is performed.
Resolution
The iDRAC can detect the connectivity problem and log a “SYS198” message to the Lifecycle Controller Log. In
addition, the iDRAC will block most operations that would involve or invoke a soft reset. With the exception of the
blocked operations, the iDRAC should function normally, but an AC power cycle must be scheduled as soon as
possible. When in this degraded state, if a blocked operation is attempted, an appropriate error will occur, but may be
different depending on the interface.
Versions/Systems Affected
All Dell PowerEdge systems with iDRAC8.
