Release Notes

NOTE:
Windows 10 Operating system is support only on Dell Precision R7910 server.
NOTE: For the list of supported operating systems and Dell servers, see the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix at
dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
Important Notes
This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/).
DTK operating system deployment limitation:
DTK does not support operating system deployment, when multiple boot VDs exist on a single controller or when the server has
multiple boot controllers. If multiple boot controllers exist on the server, the boot VD must be created on any one of the
controllers, and the boot VD must be set as first boot device in system BIOS.
NOTE: During booting WInPE ISO image for Windows PE 4.0, Windows PE 5.0 and Windows PE 10.0 user will not be
prompted for entering any key to continue.
SYSCFG
● Some options may not be present on all systems, which may be due to the BIOS version or hardware feature set. The usage
information generated by running SYSCFG without arguments shows only those options that are valid for your system.
● The --devseq option is present only if you have an available, bootable hard-disk partition. If this option is present in the
configuration file, but not present on your system, you will receive a usage error.
● It is required to perform a warm reboot after applying the SYSCFG settings changes on Dell PowerEdge 12th generation of
PowerEdge systems.
● If you perform operations that change the "--redmem" option, reboot your system immediately. It is applicable to both
command line and "--infile" usage.
NOTE:
Additionally, the --redmem option should not be issued with any other command and should be immediately
followed by a system reboot. This is important when you develop scripts that can alter the --redmem setting.
● For options that use text strings such as username, password, hostname, and community string, using characters such as
<space>, "<," ">," "|," "=" on the command line can be misinterpreted by the command line parser and may cause errors. To
avoid such errors, use only alphanumeric characters.
● If you set the username using syscfg username option, Serial over LAN (SOL) access for the corresponding user will be
enabled by default. You can disable SOL access for a user using syscfg solaction --userid=<userid> --action=disable
command.
● 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 displayed in help message for BIOS options for Dell’s
12th generation of PowerEdge systems.
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 input multiple physical disks is "-ad=1:4,1:5,1:6" or "-
ad=1:4:0,1:5:0,1:6:0".
● If you change the controller mode from SCSI to RAID mode, data loss may occur. Back up any data you require before
changing the modes.
● Use the slots 0-3 of the system to create a boot VD or assigning hot spare (dedicated or global) on Dell PERC S130
controller. If you use any other slots, the system encounters issues during wake up from hibernation.
