Notes on using syscfg and racadm Commands
When a system is booted from SBUU, the /opt files system is linked to /tmp file system. Some functionality of syscfg and
racadm use /opt extensively. If user mounts any other device (like a USB drive) to /tmp and issues racadm or syscfg
commands, the files in /opt will no longer be visible and the commands will fail.
User is advised to create a temporary directory under under /mnt and mount the USB devices there instead of mounting to
/tmp
.
Open Issues and Resolutions
Issue 1
Description: If the SBUU GUI disappears and a blank screen appears, restart your system. This issue occurs if you right-click
to open a new browser window (from the Quick Reference Guide window) and select Quit from the File menu.
Issue 2
Description: Even after you select any language other than English under Select Language and Keyboard Type on the Home
page, the input language will be English. That is, the text you enter in the text fields in the GUI will appear in English.
Issue 3
Description: Do not use the Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) virtual media to run Firmware Update on the system. This
procedure breaks the virtual media connection, causing failure of the firmware update procedure.
Issue 4
Description: When you select the No Change option for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Activation, under Boot sequence and
security tab, the TPM activation token will not be saved to the .ini file.
Issue 5
Description: The "Digitally sign communications" enabled Windows share on a system running on Windows cannot be
accessed. To access the share, disable this feature on the Windows system.
Issue 6
Description: On Windows Server 2008 (32 and 64 bit), VMware ESX apply options page will not have OS ISO location specified,
as these installations require OS ISO at runtime, when the OS is getting installed. SBUU will boot to hard disk and ask for OS
ISO DVD and the user must supply it. These installations do not work on network. They are for standalone servers.
Issue 7
Description: When the user selects the Embedded NIC and/or Redundant Memory token in the BIOS section in the Hardware
Config page, the options shown for this token are a superset. If the user selects an option which is not supported in the
cuurrent system, applying Hardware Scripts will fail and if the Exit on Failure option is selected, the deploy operation will
stop.
