During OS deployment on 14G, hardware profile apply fails
due to iDRAC error
During OS deployment on 14G server, a configuration update job is created in iDRAC when the hardware profile is applied. However, the
job fails sometimes and displays a message indicating that a Configuration job is already created.
Resolution: To clear the stale entries and retry the OS deployment, run the racadm jobqueue delete -i
JID_CLEARALL_FORCE command.
OMIVV RPM upgrade fails when proxy is configured with
domain user authentication
If OMIVV appliance is configured with proxy to reach the internet and proxy is authenticated using NTLM authentication, then the RPM
update fails due to the issues in the underlying yum tool.
Version Affected: OMIVV 4.0 and above
Resolution / Work around: Do Back up and Restore to update the OMIVV appliance.
Unable to apply System Profile that has PCIe card in the
FX chassis
The OS deployment fails on a target server if the source server has PCIe card information when using an FX chassis. The System profiles
on the source server has different fc.chassislot ID than the one on the target server. OMIVV tries to deploy the same
fc.chassislot ID on the target server but fails. The System profiles searches for exact instance( FQDD) while applying the profile,
which works successfully on rack servers (identical), but may have few restrictions in modular servers. For example, in FC640, the System
profiles created from one modular server cannot applied on other modular servers in the same FX chassis because of NIC level
restrictions.
Version Affected: 4.1 and later.
Resolution: System profile taken from a FC640 server in slot 1 of a FX2s chassis can only be applied on another FC640 server residing in
the slot 1 of another FX2s chassis.
Drift Detection shows noncompliant for Modular servers
that has PCIe card in the FX chassis
The System profiles searches for exact instance(FQDD) while comparing with the baseline, which works successfully on Rack servers
(identical), but may have few restrictions in Modular servers. For example, in FC640, the System profile (Baseline) created from one
modular server shows drift for other modular servers in the same FX chassis because of FQDD mismatches.
Version Affected: 4.1 and later.
Resolution: While creating System profile, clear the FQDDs that are not common with other servers.
Unable to deploy an OS on PowerEdge serves when the
iDRAC does not populate the MAC address of the selected
NIC
The OS deployment fails on PowerEdge Servers when the iDRAC does not populate the MAC address for the selected NIC port.
Resolution: Update the respective NIC firmware and iDRAC firmware to the latest version and ensure that the MAC address is populated
on the NIC port.
Version Affected: 4.3
