6.0 LIMITATIONS
---------------The following limitations are applicable to this version of IBM
ServerGuide:
o One final reboot is recommended to finish hardware installation after the
Windows installation completes. For instance, yellow exclamation marks may
be present on the Intel(R) Ethernet Mezzanine Adapter due to the device
driver being unable to start. This issue is resolved by a reboot.
o A yellow exclamation mark may be present next to IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
when there is no physical internal DVD drive connected. Despite the warning,
the device is still functioning properly.
To solve this problem,
from uEFI setup, change the mode from AHCI to IDE as below.
* Goto uEFI setup (F1)
* System setttings
* Device & I/O Ports
* Configure the onboard SATA <Select IDE>
* Save and reboot.
o When using ServerGuide in a multi-node server configuration, the
server summary report screen does not indicate a multi-node
configuration. However, the number of processors reported will
be consistent with the hardware.
o ServerGuide does not support installing to any USB storage device.
o When using a MegaRAID controller in System x3850 M2/System x3950 M2 for the
onboard drives, all RAID configurations need to deleted before any attempt to
use the LSI SAS 1078 onboard controller with the same onboard drives.
o When installing to drives attached to an IBM iSCSI Server TX adapter (30R5201
),
you may not be able to create a 100 GB partition. The workaroud is to create
a
partition of a different size (eg 110 GB).
o On x3850 M2 and x3950M2, the Microsoft IPMI device driver is required and is
the only supported IPMI driver. In Windows 2003, the Microsoft IPMI device dr
iver
is only supported on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2.
To install the Microsoft IPMI driver on an installation of Windows Server 200
3 R2:
1) In Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs.
2)
3)
4)
5)
o All iSCSI adapters require Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 or higher for the driv
er
to function properly.
o All Fiber channel adapters require Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 or higher for
the
driver to function properly.
o Service Pack 1 or higher is recommended for Windows Server 2003 installs on
System x3105. Installs done without a Service Pack will complete, but two yel
low
warnings are in the Device Manager under 'Other Devices':
PCI Memory Controller
SM Bus Controller
o Partitioning screen appears to hang
When using ServerGuide to partition disks of 300 GB or larger, the partitioni
ng
may take 15-20 minutes for the process to complete.
o RAID configuration for LSI-SAS adapters
For LSI 1064/1064e/1078 SAS controllers or an IBM SAS HBA controller and LSI
1020/1030 SCSI ServerGuide is unable to remove any logical volumes including
RAID arrays on the adapters due to the limitation of the adapters.
To avoid any problems with RAID configuration, use the Ctrl+C menu on system
POST prior to using ServerGuide to remove all logical volumes.
o Critical Error during RAID Configuration of adapter LSI 1078 SAS IR on the
x3850 M2/x3950 M2
For the LSI 1078 SAS IR controller, the total number of disks in a RAID array
cannot exceed six. To avoid any problems with RAID configuration of the LSI
1078
SAS IR controller, reduce the number of disks to six or select the RAID Defau
lts
option of ServerGuide instead of a specific RAID level.
o Critical Error during RAID Configuration
While performing RAID configuration on adapters with previous raid configurat
ions,
the process may fail with a critical error.
To resolve this problem, click back and retry the RAID configuration or click
Exit to restart the server and retry ServerGuide installation.
o "No operating system found" during Windows installation
When performing a Windows installation, ServerGuide attempts to install Windo
ws
to the first disk on the system presented by the diskpart command line utilit
y.
Due to limitations of the system, when multiple storage adapters are present
on the system, the first disk presented by the diskpart utility is not always
the first disk on the system.
To avoid this problem, please remove any or all storage adapters that are not
required for the Windows installation.
o "Windows cannot locate the disk and partition specified in the unattend answe
r
file's <ImageInstall> setting" during Windows 2008 installation
When performing a Windows installation, ServerGuide attempts to install Windo
ws
to the first disk on the system presented by the diskpart command line utilit
y.
Due to limitations of the system, when multiple storage adapters are present
on the system, the first disk presented by the diskpart utility is not always
the first disk on the system.
To avoid this problem, please remove all storage adapters or disks that are n
ot
required for the Windows installation.
o "Windows can not prepare the computer to boot to the next phase of the instal
lation"
during Windows 2008 installation When performing a Windows installation, Serv
erGuide
attempts to install Windows to the first disk on the system presented by the
diskpart command line utility. When multiple storage adpaters are present on
the
system, the first disk presented by the diskpart utility is not always the fi
rst
disk on the system.
To avoid this problem, please remove all storage adapters or disks that are n
ot
required for the Windows installation.
o Installing any Windows Server 2003 64-bit version with Service Pack 2 to SATA
drives connected to IBM SAS HBA on x3455 or performing Windows Server 2003 64
-bit
version with Service Pack 2 installation on x3655
To install any Windows Server 2003 64-bit version with Service Pack 2 to SATA
drive(s) connected to SAS HBA part number 25R8060 on a System x3455, the plan
ar
SATA controller must be disabled in the BIOS. Likewise, to install one of the
se
Operating Systems on System x3655 the onboard SATA controller must be disable
d.
To do this:
1)
2)
3)
4)
by pressing F1
and I/O Ports" menu
disabled
exit
After the OS is installed, you may reenable the SATA controller, but in order
for
it to work you will need to install the drivers found in the C:\drv\SATA dire
ctory.
Note: Installing an OS to external storage is not supported with this adapter
.
o Windows Server 2008 and 2012 x64 requires 1024 MB or greater of system memory
.
o Windows 2008 Japanese keyboard information:
The Windows 2008 unattended install process does not properly set the keyboar
d
type to the Japanese (106/109 key) keyboard type, even if it was selected in
the Windows 2008 install screen.
To set the keyboard type to Japanese (106/109 key) keyboard in Windows 2008
after installation has completed, run C:\jpkbd106.reg and then reboot the sys
tem.
o When installing Windows 2003 with an IBM 10GbE PCIe SR Server Adapter (P/N 42
C1760)
in the system, you may find a yellow bang in Device Manager under "Other Devi
ce"
for the "Ethernet Controller"
To resolve this problem,
1) Create an account at:
http://www.netxen.com/support/downloads/drivers_software.asp
2) Log into the account with the OEM set to 'IBM'.
3) Once you have logged on, download the zip file containing the driver.
4) Unzip the driver package.
5) To install the driver, right click on the "Ethernet Controller" in Device
Manager and select "Update Driver..."
6) On the first screen of the wizard select "Install from a list or specific
location (Advanced)".
7) On the next screen click the checkbox "Include this location in the searc
h:"
and use the browser button to navigate to the unzipped driver directory.
8) The correct subdirectory will either be win2k3\x64 or win2k3\x86 dependin
g
on if you are running a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows respectively.
9) After you have selected the correct driver directory then continue to sel
ect
next to navigate through the rest of the Hardware Update Wizard.
o ServerGuide does not support the use of the following iSCSI Server Adapter (7
3P3601).
o The Brocade 8Gb Single and Dual Port fibre adapters (46M6049 and 46M6050) are
only
supported as data drives. OS installations through these adapters are not sup
ported.
o A yellow exclamation mark may be present on a "Memory Module" in the Device
Manager after installing Windows Server 2008 when using the maximum amount
of memory supported with that version of Windows. This occurs as a result of
memory mapped devices. Despite the warning, the device is still functioning p
roperly.
Refer to the Cause section of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929605 for more
information.
o When performing a Windows 2008 installation, the "Where do you want to instal
l
Windows?" screen may appear during the Windows Setup portion of the installat
ion.
Press "Next" on this screen to continue with the installation since ServerGui
de
has already formatted and partitioned the drives. Performing any formatting o
r
partitioning at this screen could cause the OS installation to fail.
o 3GB SAS expander kit may cause "IBM ESXS SAS EXP BP SCSI Enclosure Device" to
show up in Windows Server 2003 Device Manager with a yellow question mark if
the firmware is lower than revision 0.58. Please run the latest UXSP for your
system, or at minimum install the firmware found at the following link so the
expansion adapter shows properly in Device Manager:
https://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MI
GR-5079655&brandind=5000008
o Installing Windows Server 2003 to a system with a fibre adapter installed fai
ls.
When installing Windows Server 2003 to a system with a fibre adapter,
the installation may fail with the error message "QL2300.sys is corrupted." o
r
"elxstor.sys is corrupted."
To sucessfully install Windows Server 2003 to a system with a fibre adapter,
you must use Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
o When performing a Windows Server 2008 installation, ServerGuide does not dist
inguish
between a Windows Server 2008 x86 disc and a Windows Server 2008 x64 disc dur
ing the
"Search OS Media" step. If the wrong version of Windows Server 2008 is insert
ed then
ServerGuide will attempt to perform the installation and fail.
o When installing to a drive that previously used GPT partitioning the operatin
g system
installation may fail. This failure is caused by an incomplete cleanup of the
drive by
Diskpart. To resolve this issue restart the system and retry the Windows inst
allation.
o A popup may be displayed while ServerGuide is running stating "You must resta
rt
your computer to apply these changes. Before restarting, save any open files
and close all programs." If this occurs, click the button labeled "Restart La
ter"
and continue the installation with ServerGuide.
o Windows Server 2003 Installs with a 49Y4220 or 42C1780 iSCSI adapter will
fail without one of the following Microsoft hotfixes:
1) Hotfix for x86 32-bit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957910
2) Hotfix for x86 64-bit : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943295
When installing with the iSCSI adapter present but not intended as the boot
device, the hotfix can be run after the Windows installation to allow the
device driver to start, and remove the yellow exclamation marks in device
manager. If the Windows installation will be done to storage connected to
the 49Y4220 or 42C1780, the hotfix must be slipstreamed into your OS files
or the installation will not complete. Please refer to the following
knowledge base article for slipstream help:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814847
Hints and tips for this hotfix:
1) Use the entire contents of the Windows Server 2003 disc, rather than
copying just the i386 directory.
2) In step 9 it is recommended that you add to the new information to the
existing svcpack.in_ rather than deleting it and creating a new file.
If you choose to create a new file, it must be name svcpack.in_,
not svcpack.ini. The information in the [Version] field must also match
the version of Windows you are using for your installation, not the
information shown in the article.
3) The article pertains to Windows 2000 Server and Server 2003 32-bit
installations, so the steps are slightly different for the 64-bit
slipstream process. For instance, substitute the AMD64 directory
wherever the article uses the i386 directory.
o When installing Windows 2003 without Service Pack 2 included,
the "Everyone" group does not have the same permissions it would have if a re
tail
install was performed.
To grant the "Everyone" group the same permissions as a retail install, perfo
rm
the following steps:
1) Open Windows Explorer, right click on the C:\ drive, and select "Properti
es"
from the drop down menu
2) Select the "Security" tab in the "Properties" window and click the "Add..
." button
3) In the field to enter the object name enter "Everyone" and click OK
4) Click the "Advanced" button on the "Security" tab in the "Properties" win
dow
5) In the "Advanced Security Settings" window, select the "Everyone" group a
nd
click the "Edit..." button
6) In the "Permission Entry" window select the option "This folder only" in
the
drop down menu for the "Apply onto" field.
7) Click the "OK" button in each window to apply the new security settings
o ServerGuide may present a message stating that there was an internal error wi
th
"savestat /reset" on some uEFI systems with older uEFI versions. To prevent t
his,
make sure your uEFI levels are updated to the latest version. If the error i
s
displayed on the last screen of ServerGuide before the reboot into the unatte
nded
portion of the OS installation, it will not have any adverse effects on the
completion of the OS installation.
o When using ServerGuide to perform RAID configuration, a best practice is to
ensure that all the disks connected to the RAID controller are the same size.
o While performing a Windows installation you might encounter the following err
or message:
"Windows cannot locate the disk and partition specified in the unattend answe
r file's
<ImageInstall> setting". This error can occur for different reasons including
the
installation drive having previously been formatted as a GPT drive or having
a
different OS previously installed on the system.
To resolve this issue, first restart the system and retry the Windows install
ation.
If this does not resolve the issue then delete all partitions and formatting
on the
drives in the system and retry the Windows installation. If this does not res
olve the
issue, and the system has multiple storage adapters,
please see the next limitation for additional steps to try.
o When performing a Windows installation, ServerGuide attempts to install Windo
ws
on the first disk of the system presented by Microsoft's diskpart utility. Du
e to
the limitations of the system, when multiple storage adapters are present on
the
system, the first disk presented by the diskpart utility is not always the th
e
first disk on the system.
To avoid this problem, please remove all storage adapters and/or disks that a
re
not required for the Windows installation.
o When installing Windows 2008 with Director Agent 6, you might encounter the e
rror
message "wscancfg.exe has stopped working". This error can occur when any ser
vice
program needed by Director Agent 6 is not active. At that time, you can close
the
error message box directly to continue installing Windows 2008 & Director Age
nt 6.
o Lan Over USB device will always be enabled after the Windows 2008 x64 version
,
which is on a disc containing both Windwos 2008 x64 and Windows 2008 x86 imag
es,
is installed by SG x86. If needed you can disable it in device manager.
o After Windows 2008 os installation completing on system x iDataPlex dx360 M3
Type 6391 with an NVIDIA Graphics Adapter, there might be one yellow warning
in the Device Manager under 'Display adapters': Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
you can install the driver found at the following link to remove the yellow w
