Config limitations

The limitations listed in this section are specific to the config application.

OneCLI may fail to restore settings in backup file for SR645 V3.
Users run the backup command to save the settings in the encrypted way for SR645 V3. However, the settings might not be restored in the backup file and the passphrase.
The state of LAN-over-USB is saved as “enabled” when using the config command “backup” to save the configuration with an encrypted way in in-band mode.
When users use the config command backup to save the configuration with an encrypted way in in-band mode, LAN-over-USB will be enabled and its state will be saved as enabled. When users perform the config command restore to recover from the saved configuration file, the LAN-over-USB state might still be displayed as enabled no matter what the initial state it is.
When using the config set command to modify the properties of the active account connecting to BMC, even the command succeeds, OneCLI still returns the failure result.
When running the config set command to modify the active account properties. For example,

  • Account name: OneCli.exe config set imm.loginid.3 test2 --bmc test1:PASSW0RD@host

  • Account password: OneCli.exe config set imm.password.3 Passw0rd --bmc test2:PASSW0RD@host

Even the command is executed successfully, OneCLI still returns the error message:
Failed to get update status due to BMC internal error.
BIOS settings are not saved in OS on SR635/SR655.

When running the OneCLI config command Onecli.exe config save --group BIOS --file save.txt in the OS on SR635/SR655, the command might return success, but no BIOS settings can be found in the save.txt file.

Add IPMI/SNMP interface for an existing account(without IPMI or SNMP) in batch mode.

It is required to provide the password for the specified account when adding IPMI or SNMP interface in IMM.Accessible_Interfaces.*. It is recommended to run the batch file containing both IMM.Accessible_Interfaces.* and IMM.Password.* in batch mode; otherwise, OneCLI will fail with error code 93(0x5D).

A BMC local user account is required in OneCLI out-of-band configuration.
It is recommended not to use OneCli config on configuration with LSI adapters
It is recommended not to use OneCli config on configuration with LSI adapters because it is difficult to do settings on LSI adapters and it may impact the RAID controller.
OneCLI shows failure to set BMC to shared mode but actually it succeeds
Using OneCLI config command to set "BMC.SharedNicMode" to "SharedOption_1" results in the error message "The SET command execute failure;" however, the configuration change is successful and the network interface of the BMC is changed to shared mode.
Not valid configuration settings are not saved
Some initial values for settings are not valid as defined in the XML and are not saved.
Restarting the BMC for config values to take effect
For some settings to take effect, users might have to restart the BMC. Users might also need to restart the BMC for any values that are set through the OneCLI config application and displayed in the BMC Web interface.
Some Flex System settings cannot be set with null string
For some Flex Systems, the IMM.IMMInfo_Contact, IMM.IMMInfo_Location, and IMMInfo_RoomId settings cannot be set with the value of null string.
Some settings might not match their default values
When using the comparedefault command, some settings might not match their default values, even though the loaddefault command was run before the comparedefault command.
OneCLI config might fail to get the set result
After the OneCLI config application sets some BMC network settings, it could cause a BMC connection section reset or an IP address change, resulting in the config application failing to get the set result.
OneCLI config does not restore/replicate some settings from the saved file
When running command restore and replicate of OneCLI config, users could meet the following actions:

  • Filter some settings to restore because the value is empty.

  • Skip some settings for this type of command. For example, VPD settings for command restore.

  • Ignore some settings which can’t be found on the target system.

OneCLI does not translate 1/0 to True/False for suppress-if sentence in the output of command showvalues
A DC cycle is mandatory for any setting change (except those related to BMC/IMM) to take effect after user run OneCLI to change that setting.
