Open Issues and Resolutions for LINUX Operating Systems
Issue 1
Description: When you are using the "Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation" DVD
through DRAC/iDRAC, SBUU may not eject the DVD before asking you to insert the operating system
media. It displays the error message, "Invalid media inserted."
To fix, unmount the DVD from DRAC/iDRAC; insert the correct operating system media and mount the
drive again.
Issue 2
Description: It has been observed that certain CD burning software fails to prepare the media to pass the
media check.
Open Issues and Resolutions for Windows Operating System
Issue 1
Description: The storage drivers for Microsoft Windows 2008 SP2 (64 bit) and Microsoft Windows 2008
R2 SP1 differ only in digital signatures. In Windows PE, you cannot insert similar drivers. Hence the latest
available driver for Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1 is inserted. Due to this, there might be a digital
signature issue.
Resolution: Download and install the corresponding DUP from support.dell.com.
Issue 2
Description: Due to a known issue, the H700 and H710 driver collision while installing any of the
Windows 2008 OS flavors through SBUU, a consolidated driver has been used. After the OS installation is
complete, the "Device Manager" may report the presence of an older version of the driver in the storage
controller.
Resolution: Use the Update Driver->Scan automatically for updated driver software or download and
install the corresponding DUP from support.dell.com.
