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, make sure 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, make sure the system has completed CSIOR and is not in the process of rebooting.
● It is highly recommended that BIOS configuration 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
controllers, and the application of such a hardware profile can cause failures.
