Resolution

The I/O module may have taken more time to boot than was expected or the I/O module did not boot.

Verify the I/O Module is turned on using CMC Web Interface or RACADM CLI and retry the operation. Otherwise, reinsert the I/O Module and retry the operation. If the problem persists, contact technical support.

CMC is unable to obtain the CPU information from the server specified in the message. This occurs if there is no communication between CMC and iDRAC.

Do the following: 1) Reset iDRAC. 2) Reset CMC. If the issue persists, contact your service provider.

CMC is unable to obtain the memory information from the server specified in the message. This occurs if there is no communication between CMC and iDRAC.

Do the following: 1) Reset iDRAC. 2) Reset CMC. If the issue persists, contact your service provider.

CMC is unable to obtain the link tuning or flex address information for the newly installed hardware (server, Input Output Module, or Mezzanine card), or is unable to send the link tuning or flex address information to iDRAC.

Make sure that the currently installed CMC firmware is the latest. Otherwise, update the CMC with the latest CMC firmware and retry the operation.

Unable to turn on the server specified in the message, because the available power is lesser than the requested power.

In the CMC Web interface, verify the available power and server power requirements. If sufficient power is available, retry the operation. Otherwise, increase the power cap value.

Unable to retrieve information about the firmware on server in slot <slot number>, because there is no communication between Chassis Management Controller (CMC) and iDRAC.

1.Reset iDRAC by using the graphical user interface (GUI): Click Chassis Overview > Troubleshooting > Reset Components. In the Reset Server section, from the Reset drop-down menu, select iDRAC Reset corresponding to the server iDRAC to be reset, and then click Apply Selection. Or, reset iDRAC by running the following command at the command line interface (CLI): racadm racreset -m server-n. 2.Reset Chassis Management Controller (CMC) by using the GUI: Click Chassis Overview > Troubleshooting > Reset Components, and then click Reset/Failover CMC. Or, reset CMC by running the following command at the CLI: racadm racreset.For more information about the syntax and parameters used, see the iDRAC 8/7 v2.30.30.30 RACADM CLI Guide and the Chassis Management Controller Version 5.0 for Dell PowerEdge M1000e RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available on the support site.
