Bare-metal deployment issues
This section deals with issues found during the deployment process.
Auto discovery and handshake prerequisites
● Prior to running auto discovery and handshake, ensure that iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller firmware and BIOS versions meet
the minimum recommendations.
● CSIOR must have run at least once on the system or iDRAC.
Hardware configuration failure
● Before initiating a deployment task, ensure that the system has completed CSIOR and is not in the process of rebooting.
● BIOS configuration should be run in clone mode so that the reference server is an identical system.
● Some controllers do not allow creation of a RAID 0 array with one drive. This feature is supported only on high-end
