Configuration of NVRAM and drives mismatch (normal mismatch).
After a harddisk crash the NVRAM can be screwed up of a Dell PERC controller. To set the configuration from the disks to the nvram, do the following:
1. Run the BIOS utility (CTRL+M) to see the configuration,
2. Select Configure,
3. View/Add Configuration,
4. Select the desired Configuration,
5. If this is the configuration you want to use, escape and select Save.
After restarting the nvram has the latest config written to it.

Use the attached script to check multiple Dell Asset tags for warranty (place all asset tags in a file called: “DellServiceTags.txt”):
download: [wpdm_fileid=”5″]
When run it uses the service tags from the text file to create a csv file (results.csv). Below is an example off the results.csv file in excel.
