"Parameter out of range."
The legacy attribute values enable/disable are also supported for 12G systems for backward compatibility. In
future releases these arguments might be deprecated. Try to use the values displayed in help message for BIOS
options for 12G server.
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.
Upgrading From Previous Versions
When upgrading from a previous release of the DTK, ensure that you create environment for the new DTK version separately
from the previous version of DTK. This step is necessary because the environments and requirements for the new DTK
ersions are completely
different.

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.
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".
