Owner's Manual
The onboard SATA disks diagnostic tests are not supported. In the Dell Online Diagnostics GUI, the controller and
the tests are disabled and the message Diagnostic tests are not supported on the device displays in the
Configuration tab. On VMWare, running the pediags idedevdiag --show command does not enumerate the SATA
disks.
NIC Communication Test may fail if IPv6 is enabled.
If the memory and DRAC tests get disabled in Dell Online Diagnostics, restart the Systems Management Device
Driver service (instsvcdrv) to enable the memory and DRAC tests.
USB controllers are not supported on VMware ESX 4.1 Update 2.
On SLES 10 SP4 and RHEL 5.7 x64 systems, memory and serial port diagnostics are not available if OpenManage
version 6.3 or later is installed.
Resolution
: Uninstall OpenManage and reinstall Dell Online Diagnostics.
On VMware ESX 4.1 Update 2 and Citrix 6.0, the NIC Communication test is not available for paravirtualized
devices, such as vswif (Service Console).
On VMware ESX Classic, if USB DVDROM is removed while running the tests, the behavior of Dell Online Diagnostics
is unexpected and the tests do not complete. In this situation, the Abort functionality does not work.
Fibre Channel Adapters are not supported on VMware ESX 4.1 Update 2 and 64-bit Linux operating systems,
because the required drivers or utilities are unavailable.
On RHEL 6.1 network vendor tests from Broadcom and Intel are not supported.
For all Blade servers (PowerEdge M-series) diagnostics for serial port are not supported on Linux operating systems.
