When creating an ISO file for Intelligent Disaster Recovery (IDR) on a Dell PowerEdge Server, with the Perc4e RAID controller or the SATA RAID controller, the following error may occur:
Perc 4e RAID controller: Error opening registry key . .
This solution has not be validated by Dell yet. I am waiting for a review from Dell Technical.
"Error opening registry key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_016E1028&REV04\5&18f62fd7&0&700010" occurs when creating IDR ISO image on a Dell PowerEdge server running Windows 2003 server. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Details: When creating an ISO file for Intelligent Disaster Recovery (IDR) on a Dell PowerEdge Server, with the Perc4e RAID controller or the SATA RAID controller, the following error may occur:
Perc 4e RAID controller: Error opening registry key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_016E1028&REV04\5&18f62fd7&0&700010 on \\SERVER. The system cannot find the file specified.
- OR -
SATA Raid Controller: Error opening registry key System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_9005&DEV_0285&SUBSYS_02911028&REV_01\5&8a033a5&0&02E818 on \\SERVER. The system cannot find the file specified.
This error occurs because IDR looks at the following key for information about the RAID controller:
Perc 4e RAID controller: HKey_Local_Machine | System | CurrentControlSet | Services | MRAID35X | Enum | 0
- OR -
SATA Raid Controller: HKey_Local_Machine | System | CurrentControlSet | Services | CERCSR6 | Enum | 0
When Dell released a new driver set, the 0 value encompasses an old value that does not exist, and the 1 value represents the correct registry value.
Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.
To work around this issue, the values must be swapped.
1. Rename the value: HKey_Local_Machine | System | CurrentControlSet | Services | MRAID35X | Enum | 0 to HKey_Local_Machine | System | CurrentControlSet | Services | MRAID35X | Enum | 0old
2. Rename the value: HKey_Local_Machine | System | CurrentControlSet | Services | MRAID35X | Enum | 1 to HKey_Local_Machine | System | CurrentControlSet | Services | MRAID35X | Enum | 1old
3. Create a new String value, named 0. Copy the contents of 1old into this value. 4. Create a new String value, named 1. Copy the contents of 0old into this value.
