Release Notes

• 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 if 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 to "Off" during the next reboot.
• The legacy attribute values enable and 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.
RAIDCFG Issues
• You can assign up to 10 Global hot spares using Raidcfg. Use the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator Storage Management for assigning more than 10 Global hot spares.
• Raidcfg does not support Non RAID (Volume) mode on s100/s300/S110 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.
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:
#cfgRacTuneCtrlEConfigDisable=0
#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.
Windows PE Issues
• Running partcfg.bat may fail when virtual media is enabled. For the hard disk, partcfg.bat uses
the driver letter "c:". When virtual media is enabled, sometimes, the virtual device gets assigned
with the drive letter "c:" And, partcfg.bat execution fails. To run partcfg.bat successfully, either
disable the virtual media or use the diskpart command to assign a free driver letter for
partcfg.bat.
• Windows PE 3.0 and 4.0 for 64-bit do not support racadm.exe for DRAC 4.
