27 Why are the NIC Blink LED attributes always set to NULL after the job
is completed?
A blink LED NIC attribute is a one time setting that you are able to set,
but once SSIB task is complete, it will set the current value back to null.
The purpose of this attribute is to blink the NIC LEDs for a certain
amount of time (seconds).
28 How many attributes can I set through the SetAttribute() method.
You can set only one attribute through the SetAttribute() method. To set
two or more attributes in one method invocation, use the
SetAttributes()
method on the services for the component being configured.
29 Why do I see some other attributes being set when a different attribute is
set?
There are few attributes in BIOS and NIC that have dependencies. When
you set a specific attribute, all the dependent attributes are modified
based on their dependency. This is an expected behavior.
BIOS Dependencies — TPM, Power Management, AC power recovery,
and Embedded NIC.
NIC Dependencies — VLAN Mode and WakeONLAN attributes.
30 Can I set VLanMode and VLanID in the same Task?
You cannot set the VLanMode and VLanID attributes involving
dependencies in the same task. You must set the parent attribute
(VLanMode) as the first set operation, the child attribute (VLanID) as a
second set operation and then commit the job.
31 Why is Remote Services not working correctly after updgrading iDRAC
from version 1.3 to 1.5?
Flash the BIOS, USC and iDRAC in this order, so that Remote Services
works correctly. If builds are flashed in the wrong order, iDRAC must be
reset again for it to work correctly.
