Issue 12: ESX / ESXi deployment fails on servers having a PERC S300 boot controller.
Description: Deployments of Dell Management Plug-in using different ESX/ESXi versions on Dell
PowerEdge servers with the PERC S300 boot controller failed. The Dell Customized ESX/ESXi operating
systems do not carry the driver for the PERC S300 boot controller, which causes the boot
controller/HDD not to be recognized during operating system installation.
Resolution/Workaround: Servers with PERC S300 boot controllers are not supported for Dell
Management Plug-in deployments.
Version Affected: All.

there is no earlier Dell Management Plug-in registered and the vCenter locale is one of the supported
locales. The issue happens since some SQL scripts failed to execute during RPM update.
Resolution/Workaround: It is recommended that you take backup before performing any RPM
upgrade. Install the previous version of plugin prior to the upgrade and restore the DB. Now repeat
the process of upgrade using RPM upgrade.
