Notes
* When you deploy an operating system on a target system with iDRAC configured in a shared network mode, the Windows
PE environment may fail to startup on the network drivers, causing the system to restart before reaching the task
sequence.
* If the Lifecycle Controller of a system is in use, the system is not discovered.
* If the iDRAC version is older than the supported versions in any of the target systems, the Boot to vFlash option in the
Deploy Operating Systems workflow may fail.
* When you are deploying an operating system using the Launch Config utility, the advertisements of the task sequence are
not displayed on the screen.
* If the target system has an older version of BIOS that does not support a particular method, the following error message is
displayed in the DLCTaskManager.log file:"Installed BIOS version does not support this method".
* If the Lifecycle Controller of the target system is locked by another process, the following error message is displayed in
the DLCTaskManager.log file: "Lifecycle Controller is being used by another process".
* If you do not enter the service tag name of the target system correctly, the discovery and handshake fails and the
following error message is displayed: "[Server Name] - Handshake - getCredentialsInternal():[Server Name]: NOT
AUTHORIZED: No credentials returned".
* To deploy Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating systems using the Apply Drivers from LC option, ensure that there is a
fallback step to install drivers from ConfigMgr else the deployment fails.
* During Discovery and Handshake, the DPS.log displays an empty "Site code:" followed by a cryptography exception.
* During Discovery and Handshake, the DPS.log displays numerous messages "createDellCollecions() Either Connection Mgr
param is NULL or Collection not yet created".
* The System Viewer utility does not display the latest RAID configuration. To view the latest configuration re-launch the
System Viewer utility.
* The modular systems cannot use the hostname in the path to the Common Internet File System (CIFS) share but monolithic
systems can use the hostname. Use the IP address instead of hostname.
