Description

Workaround

First Version Affected

CSCwq61388

On Cisco UCS C-Series M6 servers running CIMC 4.3.5 or later, enabling VMD in BIOS with multiple NVME drives can cause storage subsystem initialization to exceed 15 minutes, leading to Intersight Server Profile deployment failures. Disabling VMD or reducing the number of drives can resolve the issue. Earlier firmware versions may not be affected.

  • If VMD is not needed, disable it.

  • If disabling VMD is not possible, use the minimum number of NVME drives for setup, as more drives slow down system startup.

On Microchip-based storage cards, the Virtual Drive (VD) shows as "Inoperable" even when all disks are online because the firmware automatically changes drive assignments to optimize performance, ignoring user settings from management tools.

Use arcconf output to check drive assignments in spans. Firmware may override management tool settings for better performance.

After installing U3 Micron drives with capacities of 3.8TB or larger in JBOD mode behind the UCSX-X10C-RAIDF controller, Linux OS fails to boot due to BIOS errors related to loading the EFI boot image.

This issue occurs specifically on Cisco UCS X-Series M8 servers equipped with Intel® processors and affects multiple Linux distributions. The problem does notoccur when the drives are configured in RAID 0.Microsoft Windows® and Linux OS boot successfully on smaller capacity drives or when using RAID 0.

Install the OS on drive configured in RAID.
