● Issue 15: Hard disk option is not disabled in the Deployment wizard for all the servers that do not contain hard disk drives.

the hard disk option should be disabled on the Global Settings tab. However, the option is available for selection.
Version affected: 2.0 and later
Resolution/Workaround: None

Description: The Dual SD Module check box is disabled for server that has Internal Dual SD Module and no Hard Disk if you
open or create the hardware profile on the deployment template while navigating on the deployment wizard.
Version affected: 1.5 and later
Resolution/Workaround: If you see this behavior, perform the step to select the bare-metals, reselect the bare-metals, and
continue with the wizard.
● Issue 18: While applying RAID from reference server, the physical disk order is not maintained as it is in the reference server.

are applied to the same order of the physical disks as in the reference server.
Version affected: All
Resolution/Workaround: None
● Issue 19: Using OpenManage Integration to update an Intel Network card with the firmware version of 13.5.2 is not
supported.
Description: There is a known issue with Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers and some Intel Network cards with the
firmware version of 13.5.2. Updating some models of the Intel network cards at this version of firmware fails when the
firmware update is applied using the Lifecycle Controller.
Version affected: All
Resolution/Workaround: Customers with this version of firmware must update the network driver software using an
operating system. If the Intel Network card has a version of firmware other than 13.5.2, you can update using OpenManage
Integration. For more information, see http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2013/03/20/intel-
network-controller-card-with-v13-5-2-firmware-cannot-be-upgraded-using-lifecycle-controller-to-v13-5-6
NOTE:
When using the one-to-many firmware update, avoid selecting Intel network adapters that are at version 13.5.2, as this
fails and stops the update task from updating remaining servers.
● Issue 20: Firmware upgrade or downgrade of Broadcom NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter (BCM57712) from
firmware version of 6.2.x or earlier is not supported.
Description: Using the OpenManage Integration to upgrade a Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter
(BCM57712) from firmware version of 6.2.x or earlier, or downgrade to a firmware version of 6.2.x or earlier is not
supported.
Version affected: All
Resolution/Workaround: There is a known issue with the Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter (BCM57712)
where updating the adapter from firmware version of 6.2.x or earlier, or downgrade to a firmware version of 6.2.x or
earlier fails when the update is applied using the Lifecycle Controller. When attempting to perform this update using the
OpenManage Integration, the update may incorrectly show that it completed successfully. However, the firmware update
has failed and remains at the previous level. One way to successfully update the adapter software for the Broadcom
NetXtreme II 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter (BCM57712) is for customers to update the adapter firmware from an operating
system.
● Issue 21: Running firmware update may display an error message, The firmware repository file does not exist or is invalid.
