PSOD is not seen in the host when the NMI option is
selected in the iDRAC UI
Description: In the iDRAC UI of Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with AMD EPYC processors, below the Configuration
tab, select the Power Control option, and then select NMI(Non-Masing Interrupt). On selecting the
option NMI on the idrac page, the server crashes the PSOD. However, the PSOD is not seen in the yx5x
PowerEdge servers with AMD EPYC processors due to a bug in AMD IOMMU.
Applies to: ESXi 6.7.x
Workaround: Disable IOMMU in the BIOS.
Systems
affected:
yx5x PowerEdge servers with AMD processors

Auto-negotiation value shown as false though it was
set with 100G
Description:
With vSphere web client, auto-negotiation value is shown as false although the configure speed was set
to 100G.
Applies to: ESXi 6.7.x
Workaround:
Use the Mellanox mlxlink tool available at www.mellanox.com/page/management_tools to read the link
speed value.
Systems
affected:
All Dell EMC PowerEdge servers
Tracking number: 114799
The hardware label for PCIe devices is shown as Not
appropriate
Description:
On Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with AMD processors, the hardware label for PCIe devices in ESXi
Direct Control User Interface (DCUI) is shown as N/A. But the vCenter Server and other esxcli
commands show the appropriate values.
Applies to: ESXi 6.7.x and ESXi 6.5 U3
Workaround:
There is no workaround. This issue can be ignored as it is a cosmetic issue, and there is no functionality
loss.
For more information about the PCIe device info, use vCenter Server or the esxcli command: esxcfg-
nics -l.
