Resolution/Workaround: If you see this behavior, perform the step to select the bare metals, reselect the bare metals, and
continue with the wizard.
Versions Affected: 1.5 and later
Issue 25: While applying RAID from reference server, the physical disk order is not maintained as it is in the reference server.

Issue 27: 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 Intel network cards at this version of firmware fails when the firmware
update is applied using the Lifecycle Controller.
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.aspx
NOTE:
When using the one-to-many firmware update, avoid selecting Intel network adapters that are at version 13.5.2, as
this will fail and stop the update task from updating remaining servers.
Version Affected: All
Issue 28: Firmware upgrade or downgrade of Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gigabit 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.
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 will have failed and
remain 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.
Version Affected: All
Issue 29: Running firmware update may display an error message “The firmware repository file does not exist or is invalid”.
Description: While running the Firmware Update wizard, at the datacenter or cluster level, an error message may be displayed
“The firmware repository file does not exist or is invalid.” This may be due to a daily background process that was unable
to download and cache the catalog file from the repository. This occurs if the catalog file is not reachable at the time the
background process runs.
Resolution/Workaround: After resolving any catalog connectivity issues that may exist, you can re-initiate the background
process by changing the firmware repository location, and then setting it back to the original location. Allow about 5 minutes for
the background process to complete.
Version Affected: All
Issue 30: An error occurs while installing the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter.
Description: While installing the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, the following error is displayed:
“Network card 'VirtualE1000' has a DVPort backing, which is not supported. This could be because the host does not support
VDS or because the host has not joined a VDS.”
