Release Notes

Description: The Dual SD Module check box is disabled for server that has Internal Dual SD Module and no Hard Disk if you open or
create the hardware profile on the deployment template while navigating on the deployment wizard.
Version affected: 1.5 and later
Resolution/Workaround: If you see this behavior, perform the step to select the bare-metals, reselect the bare-metals, and continue
with the wizard.
• Issue 18: While applying RAID from reference server, the physical disk order is not maintained as it is in the reference server.
Description: After deploying Hardware Profile, the Virtual Disks are created on the physical server. However, the RAID levels are
applied to the same order of the physical disks as in the reference server.
Version affected: All
Resolution/Workaround: None
• Issue 19: Using OpenManage Integration to update an Intel Network card with the firmware version of 13.5.2 is not supported.
Description: There is a known issue with Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers and some Intel Network cards with the firmware
version of 13.5.2. Updating some models of the Intel network cards at this version of firmware fails when the firmware update is
applied using the Lifecycle Controller.
Version affected: All
Resolution/Workaround: Customers with this version of firmware must update the network driver software using an operating system.
If the Intel Network card has a version of firmware other than 13.5.2, you can update using OpenManage Integration. For more
information, see http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2013/03/20/intel-network-controller-card-with-
v13-5-2-firmware-cannot-be-upgraded-using-lifecycle-controller-to-v13-5-6
NOTE:
When using the one-to-many firmware update, avoid selecting Intel network adapters that are at version 13.5.2, as this fails
and stops the update task from updating remaining servers.
• Issue 20: Firmware upgrade or downgrade of Broadcom NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter (BCM57712) from firmware version
of 6.2.x or earlier is not supported.
Description: Using the OpenManage Integration to upgrade a Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter (BCM57712) from
firmware version of 6.2.x or earlier, or downgrade to a firmware version of 6.2.x or earlier is not supported.
Version affected: All
Resolution/Workaround: There is a known issue with the Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter (BCM57712) where
updating the adapter from firmware version of 6.2.x or earlier, or downgrade to a firmware version of 6.2.x or earlier fails when the
update is applied using the Lifecycle Controller. When attempting to perform this update using the OpenManage Integration, the
update may incorrectly show that it completed successfully. However, the firmware update has failed and remains at the previous
level. One way to successfully update the adapter software for the Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter (BCM57712) is
for customers to update the adapter firmware from an operating system.
• Issue 21: Running firmware update may display an error message, The firmware repository file does not exist or is invalid.
Description: While running the Firmware Update wizard, at the data center or cluster level, an error message may be displayed: The
firmware repository file does not exist or is invalid. This may be due to a daily background process that was unable to download and
cache the catalog file from the repository. This occurs if the catalog file is not reachable at the time the background process runs.
Version affected: All
Resolution/Workaround: After resolving any catalog connectivity issues that may exist, you can reinitiate the background process by
changing the firmware repository location, and then setting it back to the original location. Allow about 5 minutes for the background
process to complete and ensure that there is no @ character present in the credential provided for the CIFS share.
• Issue 22: An error occurs while installing the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter.
Description: While installing the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, the following error is displayed: Network card
'VirtualE1000' has a DVPort backing, which is not supported. This could be because the host does not support VDS or because
the host has not joined a VDS.
Version affected: All
Resolution/Workaround: Set the network interface to the VM Network during the OVF installation. After the virtual machine is
created, remap the networking to the VDS port group.
• Issue 23: The NIC connection status is not reflected correctly on Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers.
Description: Under the Dell Server Management tab, the Hardware Inventory Information > NICs section, the Network Interface
Cards may display incorrect connection status as "NO" on the Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers. This is due to a defect in
recent versions of the Lifecycle Controller firmware. This Lifecycle Controller defect will be addressed in a future Lifecycle Controller
firmware release.
