Limitations

  • Omnia supports only diskless provisioning of servers.

  • Omnia supports nodes discovered only through the mapping file.

  • Dell Technologies provides support only for the Dell-developed modules of Omnia. Third-party tools deployed by Omnia are not covered by Dell support.

  • Containerized benchmark jobs are not supported on Slurm clusters.

  • All iDRACs must use the same username and password.

  • As per the RedHat documentation, Configuring InfiniBand and RDMA networks, on RHEL 8 and later, Mellanox InfiniBand adapters starting from ConnectX-4 and newer use Enhanced IPoIB mode by default, which supports datagram mode only. Connected mode is not supported on these devices.

  • The local_repo.yml playbook passes even when an incorrect GPG key is provided during repository configuration. GPG key validation is currently not enforced during Pulp remote creation. Although localrepo includes support for GPG keys, this functionality is not yet enabled in Pulp. This issue has been raised with the Pulp team for tracking: https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/issues/4241.

  • BuildStreaM does not support customization of catalog catalog_rhel.json or additional package installations.

  • BuildStreaM does not support retry of failed pipeline jobs.
