Fixed Issues/def

Issue 1

Description

After you apply newer firmware on H200i storage controllers, there is a delay of 2 to 3 minutes before
reboot.

Issue 2

Description

The drivers exposed by USC are present in a read-only device labeled OEMDRV, and the device is active for
18 hours. In a Microsoft(r) Windows(r) and Linux environment, the drivers are automatically installed and
no further action is required. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4.8 only, the drivers are not automatically
installed and you have to install the drivers manually after the OS installation has been completed.
