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.
* You can assign upto a maximum of 10 Global Hotspares using Raidcfg. Use
The Dell(TM) OpenManage(TM) Server Administrator Storage Management
for assigning more than 10 Global Hot spares.
SYSCFG Issues:
* The Demand-based Power Management (DBPM) option does not work on
PowerEdge 1855 systems with BIOS versions earlier than A05.
* The option for "powerctl," which is "softshutdown," does not
work in Windows PE.
* 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.
* On PowerEdge 1950, 2950 systems with internal USB, BIOS setting
configuration for internal USB Port is possible only if User
Accessible/external (UA) USB ports are set to
"All Ports On." If UA USB ports are not set to "All Ports On"
and you try to configure the BIOS setting for the internal USB port
using SYSCFG, the configuration will appear to be successful
but the changes will not take effect after the next reboot. If
UA USB ports settings are changed from "All Ports On" to
"All Ports Off" or "Only Back Ports On," the USB port will
be automatically Set to "Off" during the next reboot.
* The "--formfactor" option on x9xx and xx1x systems display junk data.
