Owner's Manual
VLAN objects (cfgNicVLanEnable, cfgNicVLanId, and cfgNicVLanPriority) displayed using the local
RACADM command "racadm getconfig -g cfgLanNetworking" or VLAN objects generated in the
configuration file using the local RACADM command "racadm getconfig -f <file name>" do not
contain the leading "#" symbol which indicates that they are read-only.
Operating System Installation Issues
Installation of legacy Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems may fail due to lack of support for new hardware.
You should modify the '%post' section of "ks.cfg" to update to a newer version of the kernel or install the drivers
from this section.
The default root password for Linux installation is "root123." This could be changed to be encrypted in the
template "ks.cfg" provided.
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system installation may fail on systems equipped with multiple RAID
and/or SCSI controllers, whether installed on the system board or in PCI slots. This failure may occur when using
"Server Setup" or performing a manual installation. When two or more RAID or SCSI controllers are present, install
Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only one configured RAID or SCSI controller. Configure the other controllers after
you install the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system.
When deploying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 11 on PowerEdge M915 using DTK automated script
(autoinst.xml), do the following:
1.
In device map section, <device_map_entry>
<firmware>hd0</firmware>
<linux>/dev/sdc</linux>
</device_map_entry>
change hd0 to /dev/sdc
2.
In grub config section, change /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda6
If installer reports any missing packages, delete those packages from autoinst.xml
Instrumentation Issues
The "/opt/dell/srvadmin" directory in the DTK ISO image should be writable. This enables the instrumentation
services to work properly.
The file "omreg.cfg" should be present in the "/etc/" directory for the tools to function properly. This is applicable
if DTK is being customized to fit in an embedded Linux environment other than the Dell-provided embedded Linux.
