Release Notes

• S300 controller CachePolicy setting is Not Applicable. Hence VD created with different cachepolicy

settings from OROM utility will be displayed as "Not Applicable".

• RAIDCFG does not support Non RAID (Volume) mode on s100/s300/S110 controller.

• 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.

• When you install Windows 2008 R2 SP1 using WinPE 3.0, the interfaces of Mellanox ConnectX-3 Dual

Port 10 GbE DA/SFP+ network adapter do not display on WinPE 3.0 due to firmware limitation. To

resolve the issue on post OS, install the Out of Box drivers downloaded from dell.com/support.

• To boot to winPE3.x (32-bit and 64-bit) in BIOS boot mode on all Dell's 13th generation of PowerEdge

platforms, and Dell Precision 7910, disable USB3.0 and Memory Mapped IO.

• To boot to WinPE3.x (64-bit) in UEFI mode on all Dell's 13th generation of PowerEdge platforms, and

Dell Precision 7910, enable Load Legacy Video Option ROM.

• Software RAID S100 and S300 supported only on Windows 2008 32-bit operating system.

• Software RAID S110 and S130 supported only on Windows 64-bit operating system.

Installation Prerequisites

Before extracting Deployment Toolkit components, ensure that you have:

• A workstation that has 512 MB RAM

• A writable CD drive and CD-writing software (optional)

• Network access

• A minimum BIOS version is recommended on some of the platforms for all the DTK options to work

properly. In general, it is a good practice to use the latest ("n") version of BIOS firmware or the "n-1"

version that is available on "dell.com/support."
