The following subsections list the known issues with this release of
Systems Build and Update Utility.
* On Dell PowerEdge systems with internal USB, BIOS setting
configuration for internal USB Port is possible only if User
Accessible/external (UA) USB ports are set to "All Ports On".
If UA USB ports are not set to "All Ports On" and user tries to
configure BIOS setting for internal USB Port using Server
Administrator GUI or CLI, the configuration will appear to be
successful but the changes will not take effect on next reboot.
If UA USB ports settings are changed from "All Ports On" to "All
Ports Off" or "Only Back Ports On", the USB will be automatically
set to "Off" during the next reboot.
* System Build and Update Utility (SBUU) will not boot through DVD under
BIOS in UEFI mode.
======================================================================
KNOWN ISSUES ACROSS ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS
======================================================================
* Systems Build and Update Utility does not support RAID
configuration on any system with a SAS 5/iR or SAS 6/iR controller
connected to one hard drive. To install Systems Build and Update
Utility on a system with the SAS 5/iR or SAS 6/iR controller, ensure
at least two hard drives are connected.
* Systems Build and Update Utility does not support RAID
Configuration on any system with a SATA 2s controller connected to
one hard drive. To install Systems Build and Update Utility on a
system with the SATA 2S controller, set the hard drive configuration
to "Native Mode" in the BIOS setup or configure RAID using the
"Ctrl+A" option.
* If a USB flash device is connected to the system, Systems Build and
Update Utility may fail to install the operating system. To resolve
the issue, perform one of the following actions:
- Remove the USB flash device.
- In the BIOS setup, under "Boot Order," move the "USB Device"
selection to the end of the list.
* The "View Hardware" feature in Systems Build and Update Utility
does not provide information on devices that are connected to the
chassis. The current listing of devices is not complete and does not
include devices such as Fibre Channel cards and Dell Remote Access
Controller 5 (DRAC 5).
* On PE1800 the "view hardware" feature in Systems Build And Updates
Utility does not show the CERC SATA 2s device when it is set to ATA
mode. This is due to the current limitation of CERC SATA 2s; it has
the same PCI device ID for both ATA and RAID mode.
