The following
are the known limitations for deploying virtual I/O identities on
target servers:
On Broadcom network adapters, OpenManage Essentials
does not support boot from ISO for installing the operating system
on a SAN along with the virtual I/O identity deployment. However,
if an operating system is already installed on the SAN, after deployment
of virtual I/O identities, the server can boot from the SAN.
For PowerEdge FC430, FC630, and FC830 sleds, the PCIe
cards (FC and iSCSI) in the shared PCIe slots of the PowerEdge FX2s
chassis are supported for stateless deployment. However, if the PCIe
cards are mapped, replacement can be performed only to an exactly
similar sled in the same slot with the same PCIe mapping in another chassis.
If the PCIe cards are not mapped, replacement can be performed on
any similar sled.
For performing stateless deployment on blade servers,
the FlexAddress mode must be disabled on the blade server to prevent
the host chassis from assigning I/O identity attributes. Even if the
FlexAddress mode is enabled, OpenManage Essentials overrides the FlexAddress
mode.
While performing a stateless deployment on a server
with a QLogic Converged Network Adapter, OpenManage Essentials generates
different attribute values for the virtual MAC (vMAC) and virtual
FIP (vFIP) MAC attributes. However, only the value of the vMAC attribute
is deployed for both the vMAC and vFIP MAC attributes. If you create
a zone for SAN boot before the deployment, ensure that the zone is
created based on the vMAC address generating virtual WWPN (vWWPN)
and virtual WWNN (vWWNN). For example, 20:00:vMAC for vWWNN and 20:01:vMAC
for vWWPN.
Intel NIC cards do not support unique iSCSI initiator
name for each port. OpenManage Essentials deploys the same IQN value
for all ports in the Intel NIC card.
