FAQ

1.  What is OS10

OS10 (Operating System 10) represents the next-generation operating system for the Dell Networking portfolio of data center, campus and branch switches. At launch, based on features and functionality, OS10 will be positioned for advanced operators of large-scale data centers seeking a high degree of programmability and customization in a DevOps framework. As such, OS10 will co-exist along with Dell Networking’s current software offerings namely OS6 for campus and branch switching products and OS9 for data center switching products.

2. Why is Dell introducing OS10?

We are bringing OS10 to the market to ultimately advance the software capability of our networking systems in data centers, campus and branch environments, evolving our current OS9 and OS6 code bases. In data centers, this means specifically new levels programmability (i.e. CPS, CMS) combined with the latest open networking capabilities (i.e. SAI).

3.  How does the introduction of OS10 affect our relationship with Cumulus?

The introduction of OS10 will have no bearing on our relationship with Cumulus. Cumulus has been and will continue to be a very strong and valued Open Networking partner of Dell. We are aligned in our pursuit to disrupt the Networking industry, bringing unprecedented levels of choice and capability to customers of any size.

4.  How committed is Dell to Open Networking if they are developing their own OS?

Dell is the pioneer and leader in Open Networking and we remain 100% committed to this initiative. We firmly believe that Open Networking is the only path forward for customers looking to maximize choice and capability in their infrastructure. The introduction of OS10 must be viewed as independent, yet complementary, to Open Networking.

Dell has been supplying networking equipment for over a decade and has amassed thousands of data center, campus and branch networking customers. Today, our customers have run OS9 and OS6 software. It has been our goal, based on customer input, to look to both evolve and merge these code bases over time. From this perspective, independent of Open Networking, we’re introducing OS10. At the same time, OS10 being a modern operating system has adopted many Open Networking features such as leveraging an unmodified open Linux kernel for easy programmability and customization and adopting ONIE and SAI specifications for platform and silicon independence. In this manner, OS10 is complementary to Open Networking.

iDRAC8 Home

What is iDRAC?

The integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller is embedded within every Dell PowerEdge™ server and provides functionality that helps IT administrators deploy, update, monitor, and maintain Dell servers with no need for any additional software to be installed. The Dell iDRAC works regardless of operating system or hypervisor presence because from a pre-OS or bare-metal state, iDRAC is ready to work because it is embedded within each server from the factory.

If you are new to iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller, check out the "how to" videos we have on youtube.com here.

The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make server administrators more productive and improve the overall availability of Dell servers. iDRAC alerts administrators to server issues, helps them perform remote server management, and reduces the need for physical access to the server.

Download the iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller Specification Sheet here.

iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller Technology Licensing Summary

Dell provides three main offerings: Basic Management, Express, and Enterprise. As in Dell’s 11th generation servers, Basic Management (called BMC in 11th generation) is the default for servers 200-500 series. For 600 series and above, iDRAC Express is the default offering that is part of the base configuration. It does not require a license to be installed, backed up, or managed. Express offers embedded tools, console integration, and simplified remote access.

However, most IT administrators want a deeper, more inclusive solution that allows them to manage servers as if they were physically near the server, and this is available by upgrading to the Enterprise license level, which is fully digital. Dell also stores a copy of the key and makes it available to you in an online License Management portal (https://www.dell.com/support/licensing/).

Ubuntu Server Hardware Certification Details

[ This article was written by Kent Baxley, Canonical Field Engineer ]

The Dell Linux Engineering team works closely with Canonical to test and certify Ubuntu Server LTS releases on PowerEdge and PowerEdge-C servers. Here are details of the different components and tests that we run:

Before running the certification test suite, the server must be able to automatically enlist, commission, and deploy the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server operating system via a Metal-As-A-Service (MAAS) server.

In addition to being compatible with MAAS, the following subsystems are tested:

Hard disks (RAID and non-RAID)

• Storage devices (HDDs, RAID LUNs) are I/O Load tested using Open Source tools such as bonnie++.
• Verify system storage performs at or above baseline performance.
• Test the hard disk's SMART Capabilities, if applicable.
• Detect and display disks attached to the system.
• Run hdparm timing of cache reads as a benchmark.
• Run hdparm timing of device (non-cache) reads as a benchmark.
• Checks disk stats, generate some activity and recheck stats to verify they've changed. 

CPU

• Test for clock jitter.
• Test that the CPU can run at its max frequency using Ubuntu's Firmware Test Suite (fwts cpufreq).
• Test offlining CPUs in a multicore system.
• Test the CPU scaling capabilities using Ubuntu's Firmware Test Suite (fwts cpufreq).
• Check CPU topology for accuracy
• A general stress test is performed for to verify that the system can handle a
• Sustained high load for a period of time. This utilizes the test tool “stress”, available in the Ubuntu Universe repository.

Memory

• Check the amount of memory reported in meminfo against the size of the memory modules detected by DMI.
• A general stress test is performed to verify that the system can handle a sustained high load for a period of time. This utilizes the test tool “stress” available in the Ubuntu Universe repository.

Network

• Detect available network controllers.
• Run network bandwidth testing on all detected Ethernet devices.

Floppy Drives

• Detect any installed drives and test inserted media.

Optical Drives (CD/DVD)

• Detect any installed drives and run read tests against inserted optical media.

USB

• Detect and show any USB devices attached to the system
• Automated testing of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports by performing file read/write and compare operations on inserted USB media.

Power Management

• Verify that the Real-time clock (RTC) device functions properly, if present.
• Check to see if CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in the kernel (simple regression check).

Virtualization

• Test to ensure that a cloud image boots and works properly with the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor on CPUs that support Virtualization.

Miscellaneous Tests

• Run Ubuntu's Firmware Test Suite (fwts) automated tests to ensure there are no potential firmware or BIOS bugs that could interfere with proper system function.
• Run basic in-band connectivity tests against a BMC / iDRAC using ipmi, verifying that IPMI works.
