group: cfgNetTuning, object: cfgNetTuningNicSpeed
- CMC Firmware 1.0 and 1.10:
Allowed values: 10, 100, 1000 (default 1000)
- CMC version 1.20 and later:
Allowed values: 10, 100 (default 100)
* Modification of configuration objects cfgChassisRedundancyPolicy
and cfgChassisDynamicPSUEngagementEnable in the cfgChassisPower group
can in rare instances appear successful via the GUI and RACADM CLI, but
actually fail to take effect. To determine if a modification has failed,
review the raclog messages for the following entry:
Redundancy policy change denied - Power Management busy, retry after xy seconds.
To correct this issue, re-enter the modifications.
* During a server module power cycle, iDRAC may log a link tuning error that will
cause an amber LED and a red “X” on the iDRAC health page. To determine if a
link tuning error has occurred, review the iDRAC’s SEL log for the following entry:
LinkT/FlexAddr: Link tuning sensor failed to get, link tuning or flex address data from BMC/iDRAC
To correct this issue, perform a server module power cycle. (230455)

KNOWN ISSUES FOR USER INTERFACE ONLINE HELP
#####################################################################
This section provides additional information about known issues with
the CMC Firmware version 1.20 User Interfaces online help.
* The help for the Chassis - Power Management - Budget Status - System
Power Policy configuration section in the localized languages should read
as follows:
System Input Power Cap: Displays the user defined maximum power consumption
limit for the entire system (chassis, CMC, servers, I/O modules, power supply
units, iKVM, and fans). The CMC will enforce this limit via throttling or by
powering off lower priority blades. The value for system input power cap is
displayed in watts, BTU/h and percent units.
If the chassis power consumption exceeds the System Input Power Cap, then the
performance of lower priority servers is reduced until total power consumption
falls below the cap.
In cases where the servers are set to the same priority, then the selection of
the server for throttling, or power-off action, is based on the server slot
number order. For example, the server in slot 1 is selected first and the sever
in slot 16 selected last.
Surplus for Peak Performance: The surplus for peak performance value is the
difference between the System Input Power Cap and the sum of the Maximum
Input Power Allocated to Servers and the Maximum Input Power Allocated to
