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.
* 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 a maximum of 10 Global Hotspares using Raidcfg. Use
The Dell(TM) OpenManage(TM) Server Administrator Storage Management
for assigning more then 10 Global hot spares.
* SW RAID controllers S100 and S300 will not be detected in the Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 with SP1 (32-bit).
* 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:
* Demand based power management (DBPM) option does not work on
PowerEdge 1855 with BIOS firmware 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.
