- If you set the username using syscfg username option, SOL access
for the corresponding user will be enabled by default. You can
disable SOL access for a user using "syscfg solaction
--userid=<userid> --action=disable" command.
- Three additional filters have been added for PEFCFGPARAMS
(PCP) for PowerEdge x9xx series systems. These filters are
for battery warning ("batterywarn"), battery failure
("batteryfail"), and a filter for the presence of the
power supply in the system ("powerabsent").
* RAIDCFG:
- When creating virtual disks, the chunk (stripe) size is always
in KB. Do not specify any units for the chunk size.
- When providing multiple physical disks for the "create
virtual disk" command, do not separate the disks with spaces.
For example, "-ad=1:4, 1:5" causes an error. The correct way
to input multiple physical disks is "-ad=1:4,1:5,1:6" or
"-ad=1:4:0,1:5:0,1:6:0".
- If you change the controller mode from SCSI to RAID mode,
expect data loss to occur. Back up any data you want to save
before changing the modes.

KNOWN ISSUES
######################################################################
RAIDCFG Issues:
* You cannot delete a virtual disk on CERC SATA 2S when RAID 1 is
created. The virtual disk can be cleared from the controller BIOS.
* Because of an issue in the kernel, for PowerEdge 1855 systems,
you must reboot your system after you create a virtual disk, to
use the created virtual disk. This only affects PERC 4/IM
controllers.

SYSCFG Issues:
* Demand based power management (DBPM) option does not work on
PowerEdge 1855 with BIOS firmware versions earlier than A05.
* The suboption for "powerctl," "softshutdown," causes your system
to reboot. If you use a customized kernel with Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support, this option
will work as designed.
* Using the "solcfgparams" option may produce an error message saying
"Hardware subsystem error" when an invalid value is used. This does
