information generated by running SYSCFG without arguments shows
only those options that are valid for your system.
- The "--devseq" option is present only if you have an
available, bootable hard-disk partition. If this option is
present in the configuration file, but not present on your
system, you will receive a usage error.
- You may need to reboot your system for certain options to be enabled.
Dell recommends you use the "reboot" command on shell prompt
or press the "Ctrl+Alt+Del" keys.
- If you perform operations that changes the "--redmem"
option, reboot your system immediately. This is applicable
to both command line and "--infile" usage.
NOTE: Additionally, the "--redmem" option should not be
issued with any other command and should be
immediately followed by a system reboot. This is
important when you develop scripts that can alter
the "--redmem" setting.
- For options that use text strings such as username,
password, hostname, and community string, using characters
such as <space>, "<," ">," "|," "=" on the command line can be
misinterpreted by the command line parser and may cause errors.
To avoid such errors, use only alphanumeric characters.
- 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.
- The maximum reliably supported baud rates ( --solbitrate ) are:
- 19200 for PowerEdge x8xx systems.
- 57600 for PowerEdge x9xx systems without Dell Remote
Access Controller 5 (DRAC 5).
- 115200 for PowerEdge x9xx systems with DRAC 5.
If you enter an unsupported baud rate, you may receive an
error, "Parameter out of range."
* 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".
