* 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.
* Due to a kernel issue, you need to reboot your PowerEdge 1855
system after creating a virtual disk on it, in order to use the
virtual disk that you created. This affects PERC 4/IM controllers.
(116779)
* You can assign upto 10 Global Hotspares using Raidcfg. Use
The Dell(TM) OpenManage(TM) Server Administrator Storage Management
for assigning more than 10 Global Hot spares.
* DTK does not support Non RAID (Volume) mode on s100/s300 controller.
* S300 controller Cachepolicy setting is "Not Applicable". Hence
VD created with different cachepolicy settings from OROM utility
will be displayed as "Not Applicable".
* USB keys should not be mounted to the /tmp directory. Inside the /tmp
directory, create a new directory and mount the USB to this.
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," "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
not indicate a problem with the hardware. Check the option value
and try again.
* The "--solbitrate" option in "solcfgparams" and the
"--msgcommbitrate" option in "serialcfgparams" accept a baud
rate of 57600, but tools such as "ipmish" and "solproxy" do not
function at this baud rate for PowerEdge x8xx systems.
* On PowerEdge 1950, 2950 and PowerVault NX 1950 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
