Release Notes

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.
• For creating RAID0 on any SWRAID controller minimum two hard-disks to be connected.
• SwRAID does not support blink/unblink operation.
• 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.
• RAIDCFG operations can not be performed on HBA330 and AHCI non-raid mode.
Known Issues
SYSCFG Issues
• In DRAC , 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 unknown.unknown.n-1.
• On R815, syscfg power --profile option allows to set apc. Though apc is not supported on R815, syscfg does not throw an error
message.
• 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.
• The option for powerctl, which is softshutdown, does not work on Windows PE.
• 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.
• Intel(R) Gigabit 4P I350-t rNDC card x32 driver shows the following warning message “Windows cannot verify the publisher of this
driver software” on Win7 x32, while injecting due to expired certificate.
RAIDCFG Issues
• If both the software and hardware RAID is enabled, raidcfg will show the same controller ID for both the controllers. Disable either
software raid or insert the hardware raid other than PCIe slot 0 in the server.
• 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 S140 controller.
• On Software RAID Controller, NVMe PCIe-SSD add-on card is not supported.
• Lockdown Mode enabled will not impact with Raidcfg functionality.
• On Dell PERC H740 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.
