 Quick Deploy of Profiles to slots
 Manage server settings through Profiles — backup, restore, and replicate
 Support all available settings for server profile replication
 Default credential check and display of warning to user through GUI, CLI, and SNMP alert
 Blocking User and IP address after unsuccessful login attempts
 Starting iDRAC using DNS name
 Additional WS-Man support for OMPC
Fixes
Fixed an issue when creating a RAID 10 virtual disk with less than the full memory capacity and using
more than two HDDs in a span, which could result in the size of virtual disk being incorrect.
Important Notes
 Until the HDDs and PCIe cards are mapped by using the CMC web interface, the shared hard disk
drives (HDDs) and PCIe cards are managed by the CMC and are not visible to the operating
system in the server modules. For instructions about mapping PCIe cards and managing the
storage subsystem, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX Version 1.2
User's Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
 All the server modules must be turned off before updating the firmware for chassis infrastructure
and SPERC. CMC firmware can be updated while the servers are turned on.
