The UID information for the Dell PowerEdge RAID
Controller H310 is displayed incorrectly
Description: The UID information for the Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller H310 is displayed incorrectly as
unknown.vmhba3 when the command localcli storage core adapter list is queried. This
issue is a cosmetic issue and can be ignored.
Applies to: ESXi 6.x
Systems
affected:
All Dell EMC PowerEdge servers that support PERC H310 controller.
Tracking number: 117210
Operating system takes more time to complete boot
when Intel DCPMM is configured in the interleaved
app-direct mode
Description: Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with the VMware ESXi operating system installed take more time to
complete boot when Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory (DCPMM) is configured in the interleaved
app-direct mode. The time taken to complete the boot depends on the capacity, configuration, and
the number of sockets on the server. Messages such as: Attempt to allocate zero bytes,
allocating 1 byte from the VMkernel log can be ignored. A similar issue is documented when the
VMware ESXi operating system takes a longer time to complete boot when DIMMs are configured in
non-interleaved sets. For more information, see Dell EMC DCPMM User's Guide.
Applies to: ESXi 6.7.x
Systems
affected:
Dell EMC PowerEdge servers that support Persistent Memory (PMEM)
Tracking number: 174273
The health status of the SD cards are not updated
under the Hardware Health tab
Description:
The health status of the SD card from the Dell Internal Dual SD Module (IDSDM) is displayed as
Unknown on the respective Hardware Health tabs of the VMware ESXi web client and the vCenter
web client.
Applies to: ESXi 6.7.x
Workaround: The iDRAC page displays the status of the IDSDM SD cards correctly.
Systems
affected:
All Dell EMC PowerEdge servers.
