available, bootable hard-disk partition. If this option is
present in the configuration file, but not present on your
system, you will receive a usage error.
- Some options need warm reboot for requested settings, the
recommended method is "exit" command on command prompt.
- If you perform operations that change the "--redmem"
option, reboot your system immediately. This is applicable
to both command-line and "--infile" usage.
NOTE: Additionally, the "--redmem" option should not be issued
with any other command and should be immediately followed
by a system reboot. This note is important when you
develop scripts that can alter the "--redmem" setting.
- For options that use text strings such as username,
password, hostname, and community string, using characters
such as <space>, "<," ">," "|," "=" on the command line can be
misinterpreted by the command line parser and may cause errors.
Use only alphanumeric characters to avoid these errors.
- If you set the username using the syscfg "username" option,
SOL access for the corresponding user will be enabled by
default. You can disable SOL access for a user using the
"syscfg solaction --userid=<userid> --action=disable" command.
- The maximum reliably supported baud rates (--solbitrate) are:
- 19200 for PowerEdge x8xx systems.
- 57600 for PowerEdge x9xx systems without Dell Remote
Access Controller 5 (DRAC 5).
- 115200 for PowerEdge x9xx systems with DRAC 5.
If you enter an unsupported baud rate, you may receive an error,
"Parameter out of range."
* RAIDCFG:
- When creating virtual disks, the chunk (stripe) size is always
in KBs. Do not specify any units of measure for the chunk size.
- When providing multiple physical disks for the "create
virtual disk" command, do not separate the disks with spaces.
For example, "-ad=1:4, 1:5" causes an error. The correct way
to display multiple physical disks is "-ad=1:4,1:5,1:6."
- If you change the controller mode from SCSI mode to RAID mode,
data loss may occur. Back up any data you require
before changing the modes.
