virtual disk information at the data center, cluster, and host level. On verification, the host level inventory displays valid data
whereas in some situations, at the data center and cluster level, invalid data is displayed along with the valid set of data.
Version affected: 3.0 and later
Resolution/Workaround: This issue is infrequent, and you can press the Refresh option in the same screen to display valid
data.

● Issue 15: 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.
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 16: 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 17: 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 data center or cluster level, an error message may be
