Owner's Manual

If you set the username using the syscfg "username" option, SOL access for the corresponding user will be enabled
by default. You can disable SOL access for a user using the "syscfg solaction --userid=<userid> --action=disable"
command.
The maximum reliably supported baud rates (--solbitrate) are:
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 KBs. Do not specify any units of measure 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 display multiple physical disks is "-ad=1:4,1:5,1:6."
If you change the controller mode from SCSI mode to RAID mode, data loss may occur. Back up any data you
require before changing the modes.

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 up to 10 Global Hotspares using Raidcfg. Use The Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage
Management for assigning more than 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".
On Dell PERC H310 controllers, conversion of a RAID Capable Disk to Non-RAID disk and vice versa is not supported
using raidcfg.
