Users Guide

Yes. The domain forest function level must be in Native mode or Windows 2003 mode. In addition, the groups among Association
Object, RAC user objects, and RAC Device Objects (including Association Object) must be universal groups.
Can these Dell-extended objects (Dell Association Object, Dell RAC Device, and Dell Privilege Object) be in dierent domains?
The Association Object and the Privilege Object must be in the same domain. The Dell-extended Active Directory Users and
Computers Snap-In allows to create these two objects in the same domain only. Other objects can be in dierent domains.
Are there any restrictions on Domain Controller SSL conguration?
Yes. All SSL certicates for Active Directory servers in the forest must be signed by the same root certicate authority-signed
certicate, because CMC only allows upload of one trusted certicate authority-signed SSL certicate.
The Web interface does not launch after a new RAC certicate is created and uploaded.
If Microsoft Certicate Services is used to generate the RAC certicate, the User Certicate option may have been used instead of
Web Certicate, when creating the certicate.
To recover, generate a CSR, create a new Web certicate from Microsoft Certicate Services, and then upload it by running the
following RACADM commands:
racadm sslcsrgen [-g] [-f {filename}]
racadm sslcertupload -t 1 -f {web_sslcert}
IOM
After a conguration change, sometimes CMC displays the IP address as 0.0.0.0.
Click the Refresh icon to see if the IP address is set correctly on the switch. If an error is made in setting the IP/mask/gateway, the
switch does not set the IP address and returns a 0.0.0.0 in all elds.
Common errors are:
• Setting the out-of-band IP address to be the same as, or on the same network as, the in-band management IP address.
• Entering an invalid subnet mask.
• Setting the default gateway to an address that is not on a network, which is directly connected to the switch.
Event and error messages
After you downgrade the CMC rmware from the latest CMC version to earlier versions, why does the Chassis Log displays
the following message for some of the logs?
USR8513 - MessageID missing from message registry.
What you see is a new message introduced in the current rmware that older rmware cannot interpret. For more information about
the message ID, see the Event and Error Messages Reference Guide under OpenManage Software at www.dell.com/
openmanagemanuals.
