Bare Metal Deployment Issues

This section deals with issues found during the deployment process.

Auto-Discovery and Handshake Prerequisites

•Prior to running auto-discovery and handshake, make sure that iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller firmware and BIOS versions meet the minimum recommendations.

•CSIOR must have run at least once on the system or iDRAC.

Hardware Configuration Failure

•Before initiating a deployment task, make sure the system has completed CSIOR and is not in the process of rebooting.

•It is highly recommended that BIOS configuration be run in Clone mode, so that the reference server is an identical system.

•Some controllers do not allow creation of a RAID 0 array with one drive. This feature is supported only on high-end controllers, and the application of such a hardware profile can cause failures.

Enabling Auto-Discovery On A Newly Purchased System

The auto-discovery feature of a host system is not enabled by default; instead, enablement must be requested at the time of purchase. If auto-discovery enablement is requested at the time of purchase, DHCP is enabled on the iDRAC and admin accounts are disabled. It is not necessary to configure a static IP address for the iDRAC. It gets one from a DHCP server on the network. To make use of the auto-discovery feature, a DHCP server or a DNS server (or both) must be configured to support the discovery process. CSIOR has already been run by factory process. For more information on
