Owner's Manual

 The "--devseq" option is present only if you have an available, bootable hard-disk partition. If this option is present
in the configuration file, but not present on your system, you will receive a usage error.
 You may need to reboot your system for certain options to be enabled. Dell recommends you use the "reboot"
command on shell prompt or press the "Ctrl+Alt+Del" keys.
 It is required to perform a warm reboot after applying the syscfg settings changes on Dell PowerEdge yx2x systems.
 If you perform operations that change the "--redmem" option, reboot your system immediately. This is applicable
to both command-line and "--infile" usage.
NOTE: Additionally, the "--redmem" option should not be issued with any other command and should be
immediately followed by a system reboot. This is important when you develop scripts that can alter the "--
redmem" setting.
 For options that use text strings such as username, password, hostname, and community string, using characters
such as <space>, "<," ">," "|," "=" on the command line can be misinterpreted by the command line parser and may
cause errors. To avoid such errors, use only alphanumeric characters.
 If you set the username using syscfg username option, Serial Over Lan (SOL) access for the corresponding user will
be enabled by default. You can disable SOL access for a user using "syscfg solaction --userid=<userid> --
action=disable" command.
 The maximum reliably supported baud rates (--solbitrate) are:
o 57600 for PowerEdge x9xx systems without Dell Remote Access Controller 5 (DRAC 5).
o 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 input multiple physical disks is "-ad=1:4,1:5,1:6" or
"-ad=1:4:0,1:5:0,1:6:0".
 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
 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.
 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.
