DLCI for
System Center Configuration Manager 2012 does not support operating
system deployment on Dell PowerEdge R330, R230, T330, and T130 Platforms.
When you
deploy Red Hat Enterprise Linux or ESXi OS on servers having iDRAC
on shared Lan on Motherboard (LOM), the deployment may fail. To resolve
this, disable STP on the PowerEdge switches (ports connecting to the
Shared LOM port directly) and enable Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP), PortFast, or FastLink on those switches.
If the Windows
PE environment is unresponsive while running an operating system deployment,
the system may have run out of memory. By default, Windows PE allocates
32 megabytes (MB) of writeable memory, known as scratch space. You
can increase the scratch space up to 512 MB.
Before upgrading
to DLCI version 3.3, ensure that all the scheduled firmware update
jobs are either completed or deleted.
During installation
of DLCI, the Configuration Manager credentials specified are not validated.
Installation succeeds, and an error in import.log indicates the same.
Use Dell Provision Service (DPS) configure utility (import.exe) to
specify the correct credentials before proceeding with discovery of
servers.
The Advertise
option does not display in an existing task sequence after uninstalling
and reinstalling DLCI for Configuration Manager. To advertise the
task sequence, edit the task sequence and correct if there are any
errors.
If Active
Directory (AD) authentication is used for communicating with iDRAC
on modular servers, ensure that the iDRAC version is upgraded to 3.32.
Affected version: DLCI 3.3 with 11G iDRAC 3.30 (or earlier).
If the host
system has the Lifecycle Controller version 1.5, ensure that while
configuring user name as part of the iDRAC configuration, the user
name length is fewer than 16 characters. Affected version: DLCI 3.3
with 11G Lifecycle Controller 1.5.
If the host
system is Dell’s 11th generation of the PowerEdge server and has the
Lifecycle Controller version 1.5, Redundant Array of Independent Disk
configuration of H200 controller using DLCI 3.3 does not work correctly.
Upgrade to the Lifecycle Controller firmware version 1.5.1. Affected
version: DLCI 3.3 with 11G Lifecycle Controller 1.5.
While applying
minimum bandwidth on the Qlogic Partitionable NIC cards, if the summation
of minimum bandwidth on all partitions of a port reaches more than
100 the apply operation fails. Ensure that you apply ‘0’ on all partitions
as minimum bandwidth before applying any other values.
BIOS Configuration
fails when it is completed for the second time if Dell’s 11th generation
of the PowerEdge server has either 1.9 (monolithic) or 3.4 (modular)
version of the iDRAC firmware. Ensure that you upgrade the iDRAC firmware
level to 1.92 (monolithic) or 3.42 (modular).
Dell recommends
that you delete and reimport the server from Configuration Manager
before installing a Non-Windows operating system on the server which
is already having Windows OS installed and Configuration Manager client
configured.
If you deploy
the Windows server operating systems on Dell’s 11th generation of
the PowerEdge servers where drivers were already applied from Lifecycle
Controller, then few device drivers may not work or are unavailable.
As a workaround, manually update drivers or in Task Sequence in the
server where you deployed the OS, as a fallback for the option Apply
Drivers from the Lifecycle Controller use option Apply Driver Package.
Before installing
the DLCI version 3.3, if the servers were discovered or imported,
then after installation must rediscover or reimport the servers. The
Node ID Property is displayed on the Dell out-of-band controllers
properties page.
DLCI Auto
discovery does not work with iDRACs (version 2.10.10.10) Transport
Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 protocol. As a workaround, ensure that you
have TLS 1.1 available in the system where you have installed DLCI.
DLCI Auto
discovery does not work with iDRACs (version 2.10.10.10) TLS 1.2 custom
certificate.
Ensure that
the password does not contain an @ character in it, while using CIFS
share. Else, firmware update may fail.
Auto-discovery
job fails with iDRAC version 2.30.30.30 and later, if DPS is installed
on Windows 2016. For resolutions, see
