iDRAC does not report the operating system
information
Description: PowerEdge servers with VMware ESXi 6.7 installed do not report the operating system information that is
installed in iDRAC.
Applies to: ESXi 6.7.x
Workaround: This is an expected behavior and it is recommended to set it manually by the following steps:
1. Run the command: vmware -vl
The output is: <OS Name> build <OS Version>.
2. Run the command:
esxcli hardware ipmi bmc set -n <OS Name> -v <OS Version>

affected:
All Dell EMC PowerEdge servers

FcoE, iSCSI, RoCE functionality are not available for
BCM5741x and QL411xx in ESXi 6.7
Description:
In ESXi 6.7 OS, FcoE, iSCSI and RoCE functionality are not available for BCM5741x and QL411xx family
devices, due to the unavailability of bnxtroce, qedf, scsi-qedil, and qedrntv drivers.
Applies to: ESXi 6.7.x
Workaround: This is an expected behavior with ESXi 6.7 A00 build because these drivers are not available.

affected:
All Dell EMC PowerEdge servers
Tracking number: 87053
Unsafe shutdowns counter of an NVMe device is
incremented for both soft and abrupt shutdowns
Description:
Unsafe shutdowns counter of a NVMe device is incremented for both soft and abrupt shutdowns.
Applies to: ESXi 6.7.x.
Workaround: This issue can be ignored because there is no data loss or corruption.
