Owner's Manual
USB keys should not be mounted to the /tmp directory. Inside the /tmp directory, create a new directory and
mount the USB to this.
On Dell PERC H310 controllers, conversion of a RAID Capable Disk to Non-RAID disk and vice versa is not supported
using raidcfg.
SYSCFG Issues
In DRAC 5, the --virtualmedia and --vflash options do not work if there is an active virtual media session.
Disconnect the virtual media using the DRAC GUI. Log into DRAC. Click Media > Virtual Media > Disconnect.
The syscfg --bootseq command detects CD-ROM with SAS/SATA controllers as unk.emb.1.
On R815, syscfg power --profile option allows to set to apc, though apc is not supported on R815. syscfg does not
throw an error message.
The option for "powerctl," which is "softshutdown
" causes your system to reboot. If you use a customized kernel
with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support, this option will work as designed.
The "--solbitrate" option in "solcfgparams" and the "--mgscommbitrate" option in "serialcfgparams" accept a baud
rate of 57600, but tools such as "ipmish" and "solproxy" do not function at that baud rate for PowerEdge systems.
On PowerEdge 1950, 2950 and PowerVault NX 1950 systems with internal USB, BIOS setting configuration for
internal USB Port is possible only if User Accessible/external (UA) USB ports are set to "All Ports On." If UA USB
ports are not set to "All Ports On" and you try to configure the BIOS setting for the internal USB port using SYSCFG,
the configuration will appear to be successful but the changes will not take effect after the next reboot. If UA USB
ports settings are changed from "All Ports On" to "All Ports Off" or "Only Back Ports On," the USB port will be
automatically set to "Off" during the next reboot.
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 shown in help message for BIOS
options for 12G server.
RACADM Issues
If you use virtual media to boot into Windows PE, executing certain RACADM commands may cause Windows PE to
crash.
After generating the rac configuration file using the "racadm getconfig -f <file_name>" command, comment out
the following properties in the configuration file before you update a configuration using the "racadm config -f
<file_name>" command:
o
#cfgRacTuneCtrlEConfigDisable=0
o
#cfgRacTuneLocalConfigDisable=0
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.
