 Time stamps are converted to the user’s local time zone and the Dell Management Plug-in
displays Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time offsets.
 If you run a security scanner tool (such as Nessus) against the Server Administrator Web
server, certain security warnings against port 1311 running the Server Administrator Web
server may be displayed. These warnings have been investigated by Dell engineering and are
determined to be false positives.
 If the proxy settings are provided in the configuration, then the proxy settings are used to
access the Repository URL provided in the Administration Portal. However, if the URL to the
Update Repository is an internal URL, then disable the proxy setting. If you do not disable the
internal proxy setting, then the appliance attempts to connect to the URL with the proxy.
 A hardware profile created using a reference server with a certain BIOS version could cause
deployment to fail. Some BIOS versions do not give accurate information for certain BIOS
settings, such as the Embedded NIC1 and NIC2 settings. When a server with BIOS version is
used as a reference server in a hardware profile, the fields are ignored both by the UI and by
deployment. A problem could arise, however, if the settings in question are required to have
a certain value for deployment to complete successfully.
The solution to this issue is to use a server with an up to date BIOS as a reference server for a
hardware profile.
Note: Servers being used for deployment should also have updated BIOS. If deployment tries to apply
settings to a server with problematic BIOS, deployment fails. Currently the BIOS version is not checked
for compliance, but it is displayed on the server compliance page. Warnings are displayed on the
hardware profile reference server and BIOS settings pages, as well as when they select a deployment
template with an affected hardware profile during deployment.
To resolve this issue, use one of the following BIOS versions:
