During deployment, system profile apply fails due to iDRAC error
During deployment, OMIVV attempts to create configuration update job in iDRAC. However, the job creation may fail sometimes
and displays a message indicating that a Configuration job is already created.
Resolution: Clear the stale entries and retry the deployment. Log in to iDRAC to clear the jobs.
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 have 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 that are created from one modular server cannot be applied on other
modular servers in the same FX chassis because of NIC level restrictions.
Version Affected: 4.1 and later.
Resolution: System profile that is taken from an 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 and later
