Known Issues Network limitation: On spanning tree-enabled network, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 / Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x operating system installation on Dell Power Edge systems might not be successful due to DHCP client time-out. Workaround: Add netwait=90 in the boot loader option of the suseinst.sh/ lininst7.shscript. For example, suseinst.sh, kernel/linux/linux autoyast=$DT_SUSE_AUTOINST install=$DT_OS_IMG_PATH netwait=90 lininst7.

Change hd0 to /dev/sdc 2. In grub config section, change /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda6 3. If installer reports any missing packages, delete the packages from autoinst.xml. Secure Boot limitation on UEFI mode: On installation of the operating system in UEFI mode when secure boot BIOS option is enabled, DTK ELI is not supported. This is due to the CentOS 6.5 core operating system limitation. Instrumentation Issues The "/opt/dell/srvadmin" directory in the DTK ISO image should be writable.
