Release Notes

Versions/Systems Affected
All Dell PowerEdge systems with iDRAC8 and out-of-band enabled PERC storage controllers.
Issue 7:
Description
When enclosures connected in the redundant path are re-wired (connections are switched) to result in a non-redundant
path, the reported connected port value of the enclosures may not be accurate.
Resolution
Power cycle the server.
Versions/Systems Affected
All Dell PowerEdge systems with iDRAC8 and out-of-band enabled PERC storage controllers.
Issue 8:
Description
When a storage enclosure is disconnected or accidentally removed, the corresponding status of its components (that is,
EMM, PSU, fan, and temperature sensors) is reported as critical.
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 9:
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 10:
Description
For storage configuration operations (example, virtual disk creation, assign hot spare, foreign configuration operations,
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.
