Purely additive : not one line of the existing README is changed or removed. 303bee7 and 8edc5dc have since covered the EOL context, latest vs dev-latest, UNCERTIFIED_DRIVES and the _FILE variables, so none of that is here. What is left is what is only answerable today by reading the Dockerfile or by asking. Which PowerEdge generations OMSA 11.1 still recognises, read out of the syslist.txt inside srvadmin-omilcore rather than inferred from Dell's EOL page, which reads as a floor and is a ceiling. Why the image is amd64 only. What --privileged, --cgroupns private and the /lib/modules mount are each for, since the run command asks for all three without saying. That the web interface is https on a self-signed certificate named after a container ID, so two browser warnings on the first visit are expected. And troubleshooting by symptom, because somebody reading it has a symptom. The dell_rbu entry earns that section on its own : the error looks fatal, is cosmetic on most hosts, and is genuinely fatal on XCP-ng, and the way to tell which case you are in is whether 1311 answers.

+78 lines, and purely additive: not one line of your README is changed or removed.
The first version of this was +337 and rewrote the file. 303bee7 and 8edc5dc have since covered the EOL context,
latestvsdev-latest,UNCERTIFIED_DRIVES, the_FILEvariables and dropping the port publish — so all of that is gone from here rather than restated in different words.What is left is what is currently only answerable by reading the
Dockerfile, or by asking you:srvadmin-omilcoreshipssyslist.txt, andCheckSystemTyperefuses to start the data engine on a system identifier absent from it. Read out of the exact RPM this image installs, that file carries the whole 13th generation (0602=PET630among them) and reaches back into the 11th. The table says so, and says plainly that recognised is not supported and that storage is the half most likely to have rotted;--privileged,--cgroupns private, and the three sets of kernel modules the/lib/modulesmount exists to supply, one line each. The run command asks for all three today without saying what they do, so the first thing anyone trying to narrow the grant does is guess;omconfig preferences webserverregenerates it for a real name;dell_rbuentry earns the section: the error looks fatal, is cosmetic on most hosts, and is genuinely fatal on XCP-ng, and the way to tell which case you are in is whether 1311 answers. Separating it from the modules OMSA actually reads through is what turns "it comes up and every table is empty" into a different problem from "it does not come up".Authored by me with
