Known Issues and Frequently

Asked Questions

This chapter describes known issues with the Deployment Toolkit (DTK)

utilities and scripts, including answers to some frequently asked questions.

Known Issues

The following issues are organized by DTK utility or other function.

General Issues

• Virtual disk creation and/or deletion takes a long time on

Microsoft Windows PE.

RAIDCFG Issues

• If you delete a virtual disk on PowerEdge Expandable RAID controller

(PERC) 4/IM on Windows PE, you need to reboot the system.

• Due to a rounding limitation, for RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5,

RAIDCFG can accept a virtual disk size that is 1 MB greater than the

maximum allowable virtual disk size when creating a virtual disk. However,

RAIDCFG creates the maximum virtual disk size and does not give an

error. If you need the maximum allowable virtual disk size, it is

recommended that you do not provide the size in the CLI and let

RAIDCFG calculate the size for the RAID type.

• Before creating a virtual disk using RAIDCFG on Cost-Effective RAID

Controller (CERC) Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)

1.5/2S and CERC SATA 1.5/6CH, initialize the array disk(s) through the

controller BIOS.
