34 Setup and Use
Issues and Resolutions
• Issue : Repeated reboots of systems configured in Shared Network mode.
Resolution: While deploying an operating system on a system with iDRAC
configured in a shared network mode, the Windows PE environment
startup may fail on the network drivers, causing the system to restart
before reaching the task sequence. This is because the network does not
assign IP addresses fast enough. To avoid this issue, ensure that you enable
Spanning Tree and Fast Link on the network switch.
•
Issue : System does not show up in a collection.
Resolution : If a system does not show up in a collection, verify whether the
log file contains the following error message: "Lifecycle Controller in use."
If it contains the error message, perform the following steps:
a Ensure that the system is not in Power On Self Test (POST) state. A
system is in POST state after it is powered on and until it boots to an
operating system through any media.
b Power off the system and wait for ten minutes for it to show up in the
collection.
•
Issue : The Create Lifecycle Controller Boot Media option fails.
Resolution : Ensure that the source and destination paths used are local
paths. For example,
C:\<folder name> .
•
Issue : The Boot to vFlash option fails.
Resolution : On a rack and tower server, ensure that it has iDRAC version
1.3 firmware or newer. On a blade server, ensure that it has iDRAC version
2.2 or newer.
•
Issue : Advertisements do not appear in the DLCI for ConfigMgr Reboot to
WinPE
screen.
Resolution : Ensure that you advertise against the exact collection you plan
to deploy to, as advertisements against a parent collection will not apply to
the child collection(s).
•
Issue : While deploying Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 from ConfigMgr SP1
R2 with Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) 1.1, you
receive the error message "
Operation failed with 0X80070002. The system
cannot find the file specified
."
