Failure to install an OS by using PXE
Symptom
The OS fails to be installed using PXE.
Solution
The server uses a new-generation chip for mLOM adapters, and the drivers provided with a lot of
OSs cannot identify these types of mLOM adapters.
To resolve the issue:
1. Install a network adapter-GE-4P-360T-B2-1 PCIe network adapter. Most systems integrate
network adapter drivers of this type.
2. Burn the driver of the mLOM adapter into the image of the system, and then use this image for
PXE installation.
3. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.
Failure to install a VMware OS when only mLOM
adapters are installed
Symptom
A VMware OS failed to be installed when only mLOM adapters are installed.
Solution
The server detects whether a network adapter exists before installing a VMware OS. If no network
adapter is detected, the OS will not be installed. The server uses a new-generation chip for mLOM
adapters, and the mLOM adapter driver is not integrated into VMware, so the server cannot identify
the mLOM adapter.
To resolve the issue:
1. Install a PCIe card that the VMware-provided drive can identify, for example, network
adapter-GE-4P-360T-B2-1, CNA-10GE-2P-560F-B2-1, or network
adapter-10GE-2P-520F-B2-1.
2. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.
HBA-H460-M1 storage controller drive can be
installed successfully only after two installation
operations
Symptom
The HBA-H460-M1 storage controller drive can be installed successfully only after two installation
operations.
Solution
This issue is caused by smartpqi driver and aacraid driver (provided with the card) conflict. Updating
smartpqi does not update aacraid.
• To resolve the issue for a Red Hat OS:
a. Use firmware with version 0.0.B826 or higher.
