in KBs. Do not specify any units of measure 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 display multiple physical disks is "-ad=1:4,1:5,1:6."
- If you change the controller mode from SCSI mode to RAID mode,
expect data loss to occur. Back up any data you want to save
before changing the modes.

KNOWN ISSUES
######################################################################
RAIDCFG Issues:
* If you delete a virtual disk on PERC 4I/M on Windows PE, you need
to reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
* You cannot delete a virtual disk on CERC SATA 2S when RAID 1 is
created with the "--clear" option. The virtual disk can be cleared
from the controller BIOS.
* Perform copy operations using the "XCOPY" command, because the
DOS "COPY" command may fail when copying across a network share.
The message "invalid file handle" may be displayed. This issue
is specific to R805 and R900 systems and is an intermittent
error that is usually caused by the network connection.
If the problem persists, check your network settings.
SYSCFG Issues:
* The Demand-based Power Management (DBPM) option does not work on
PowerEdge 1855 systems with BIOS versions earlier than A05.
* The suboption for "powerctl," which is "softshutdown," does not
work in Windows PE.
* On PowerEdge 700 systems, the console redirection option in the
BIOS has the arguments "off," "serial port 1," and "RAC;"
the equivalent arguments in DTK are "off," "serial port 1,"
and "serial port 2."
When the argument is set to "serial port 2" in DTK, the option
corresponds to "RAC" in the BIOS setup.
* The "--solbitrate" option in "solcfgparams" and the
"--mgscommbitrate" option in "serialcfgparams" accept a baud rate
of 57600, but tools such as "ipmish" and "solproxy" do not
function at that baud rate for PowerEdge systems.
