Back Ground Activity task progress in HII does not
report real-time status
Issue:
Back Ground Activity (BGA) task progress in HII does not report the real-time status of running tasks.
Probable Cause:
This is an expected firmware behavior, and there is no functionality loss.
Corrective Action:
It is recommended that you check the BOSS-S1 CLI for status.
NOTE:
BOSS-S1 Command Line Interface (CLI) and Dell EMC Open Manage Storage Services only report events for the tasks
that are completed.
Virtual disk state will be generated twice
Issue:
Events related to virtual disk state will be generated twice in BOSS-S1 CLI and Open Manage Storage Services
(OMSS).
Probable Cause:
This occurs when Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers perform a cold reboot.
Corrective Action:
These events can be safely ignored as there is no functionality loss.
Character limitation while naming a virtual disk
Issue:
Limitation in the number of characters while creating a virtual disk name
Corrective Action:
It is recommended that you use maximum of 10 characters while naming the virtual disk.
VMFS datastore is disabled on the 14th generation of
PowerEdge systems that are shipped with VMware
ESXi installed on BOSS-S1
Issue:
Installation of ESXi on a BOSS-S1 device does not have VMFS datastore enabled by default, and disables VMFS if
you use a custom image for installation. This issue occurs when using ESXi version 6.5.x or later on the BOSS-S1
card.
Corrective Action:
When you have VMware ESXi installed on BOSS-S1, it is recommended that you use the BOSS-S1 device only as a
boot device and disable VMFS if you are installing a custom image. For more information, see

Physical disk not visible to operating system
Issue:
One or both physical disks are not appearing for use by an operating system.
Probable Cause:
A physical disk will not be presented to the operating system in the following scenarios:
•
There is RAID metadata on the physical disk and no RAID metadata on the controller.
•
The BOSS-S1 controller has RAID metadata on it and the physical disk does not have the RAID metadata on it.
Corrective Action:
If the RAID metadata is on the controller, follow the steps listed in
Clear Controller Configuration
.
If the RAID metadata is on the physical disk, follow the steps specified in
