User's Manual

A: Some operating systems are not supported with some RAID controllers. See the readme.text file in the root folder for

details.

Q: Where can I get information on support for storage controllers and operating systems?

A: Depending on the storage controllers on your system, some operating systems may not be supported. See readme.txt

in the root folder of the

Q: Why does the deployment fail when I configure the server along with Alert destination?

A: Alert destination accepts both IP address and string. Server's iDRAC alert destination format validation does not

accept strings with special characters and invalid strings. Even if they are accepted during the configuration, it may lead

to server deployment failure.

Q: I have a new Dell server and I could not boot into SBUU successfully.

A: Check if the firmware of the server components are the latest. If not, update the firmware using Dell OpenManage

Server Update Utility (SUU) and boot the server with SBUU.

Q: What is span length?

A: Span length enables you to select the number of array disks in a span for the nested RAID levels (RAID-10, RAID-50,

and RAID-60). The default (minimum permissible) span length value is 2 for RAID-10, 3 for RAID-50, and 4 for RAID-60.
