Tracking number 136224 Deployment and Configuration Job created multiple times for some sleds during Quick Deploy and Attach operation for sleds Description In MCM Setup, the "Deployment and Configuration" job is created multiple times for some sleds during Quick Deploy and Attach operation. Jobs fail due to the duplicate deployment. Workaround Ignore the failed deployment jobs. The duplicate jobs do not result in any issue.
OME-Modular takes up to 30 minutes to fetch network IOM inventory Description When you insert a new network IOM into a chassis and do not refresh inventory, OME-Modular may take up to 30 minutes to fetch inventory data. Workaround Refresh inventory on the new IOM manually or wait until the next default inventory task is complete.
Member chassis displays error message on promoted lead chassis Description Sub system health and inventory calls for compute sled on the member chassis are failing from the promoted lead. Workaround Identify the member chassis where the compute sled is located and offboard the chassis. Then, perform the onboard task for the same chassis.
7 Limitations 1. OME–Modular is supported only on TLS 1.2 and later. Versions earlier than 1.2 may or may not work. Also, support for earlier versions of TLS is not provided. 2. When going to the console for the first time, a blinking cursor is not displayed in the text fields. This is owing to an issue in Chrome. For details and status, see bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=740652. 3.
