H355 JBOD Target ID 0 Missing After PD Replacement

Certain Dell qualified Seagate Exos X24 SAS drives have undergone a hardware revision. As a result, replacement drives may ship with firmware revisions ending in A (SWSA, SYSA, or SUSA), while existing drives may be running firmware revisions ending in 9 (SWS9, SYS9, or SUS9). This behavior is expected and supported. The firmware difference reflects a hardware revision and does not indicate a problem with the drive, a firmware mismatch, or a requirement to update existing drives. Key Point: Customers do not need to update existing SxS9 drives to SxSA firmware. SxS9 firmware remains the correct firmware family for original hardware revisions.

Hardware Diagnostics are embedded tools installed in the pre-OPERATING SYSTEM of your server to check hardware is working as designed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Physical Drives replacement in RAID Server and MD Arrays

Dell PowerEdge 17G servers add support for iDRAC shared mode network access on select Broadcom and Intel PCIe network adapters beginning with iDRAC10 firmware versions 1.30.60.50. This enhancement allows the iDRAC to share connectivity through supported host network adapters without requiring a dedicated iDRAC network port. Following the public release of iDRAC10 version 1.30.60.50, several issues are identified in environments using iDRAC shared mode on supported adapters. These issues affect iDRAC network failover behavior and connectivity under certain operating conditions.

PowerEdge 15G, 16G, and 17G Servers Do not upgrade to Nuvoton NPCT7xx TPM firmware version 7.2.4.0 without first reviewing your TPM key usage. Firmware version 7.2.4.0 introduces a change to the ECC key derivation process that renders externally stored ECC child keys created on version 7.2.3.1 or earlier unusable. Environments that rely on these keys must unbind and re-provision them before performing the firmware update, or key access may be permanently lost. RSA keys are not affected. Due to the risk of ECC key incompatibility, the TPM firmware DUP packages have been removed from the platform catalog to prevent unintended upgrades. Administrators should complete any required ECC key remediation before updating TPM firmware.

This article explains what a predictive drive failure (error code PDR16) means, why it occurs, and provides step-by-step instructions to troubleshoot and resolve the issue. It covers recommended actions such as backing up data, updating firmware, and replacing the disk if necessary to ensure storage health and prevent data loss.

Dell OpenManage Enterprise (OME) uses a multi-step process to discover and onboard servers through iDRAC. The discovery process begins with a basic network reachability check (ICMP ping) followed by protocol-level communication (Redfish or WS-Man). If any step in this chain fails, the discovery will not succeed.

This article explains how to access and use Jobs and Logs in Dell Repository Manager (DRM) for troubleshooting purposes. It covers the Jobs page, where every DRM action is recorded with a timestamp, the location of the drmservice-0.log file on both Windows and Linux, and how to use the built-in Save and Email Logs feature to export a zipped copy of all logs directly from the DRM UI.

A PowerEdge server may experience CPU throttling to approximately 600 MHz while operating in Cold Redundancy mode. LiteON PSU firmware incorrectly asserts an OCW-related SMB Alert, causing Power Manager Policy to apply CPU power-limiting constraints.

This article describes how to enable, use, and disable Field Service Debug (FSD) mode in OpenManage Enterprise for advanced troubleshooting under Dell Support guidance. FSD provides SSH and SCP access to the appliance and must only be used in conjunction with an active Dell Support engagement. Verbiage may differ on pre-OME 4.7 versions.
