Release Notes

Resolution : Use su - to become a super user to run the pediags command. On SUSE Enterprise Server 10, with
ArpArmor enabled and when you run network diagnostics on a console, warning messages display indicating a
violation of policy.
• Multiple USB devices, when connected to a deep hierarchy of bus powered USB Hubs, causes the Linux USB device
driver sub-system to become unresponsive. This prevents Dell Online Diagnostics from launching in the GUI mode.
Resolution : Perform the following steps:
1.
Disconnect the top-level hub connected to the system.
2.
Connect external power supply (if supported) to this hub.
3.
Disconnect all the devices from the hub.
4.
Reconnect the hub to the server.
5.
Reconnect the devices on server ports (if available) and to other higher level hub ports having external
power supply, if required.
• If the SCIM RPM is installed, keyboard navigation may not function correctly while selecting the Selection Options.
• POST Result test is not available on systems running on Linux operating systems and having an IDE Virtual CD Drive
with ide-cd driver module.
Resolution : See the PSQN No. F25CF0642DD7B211E030030ABD6273EA.
• The onboard SATA disks diagnostic tests are not supported. In the Dell Online Diagnostics GUI, the controller and
the tests are disabled and the message Diagnostic tests are not supported on the device displays in the
Configuration tab. On VMWare, running the pediags idedevdiag --show command does not enumerate the SATA
disks.
• On Enterprise Linux servers, Broadcom NIC test cases fail when NICs are teamed. This is a known limitation on
Linux and Failover is expected as per bonding module design.
Resolution: Select and run Broadcom NIC test cases individually.
• On some servers in the absence of AMEA card on iDRAC, upon starting Dell Online Diagnostics at command prompt
(using startDiags.sh) or after running rac package at command prompt (using pediags rac --show), the note. This
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller

upgrade your version of iDRAC displays.
