• While modifying the warning threshold settings, the values are stored in the firmware as discrete
integer values and scaled for display. If the modified value is not a discrete integer, it may change
when saved.
• Fan redundancy can have the following states:
Fully Redundant - The sensors display this status if all the fans in the system are present and are in a
non-failure state.
Redundancy Lost - The sensors display this status whenever any system fan fails or is removed from the
chassis.
• If a system with memory redundancy enabled enters a "redundancy lost" state, it may not
be clear which memory module caused it. If you cannot determine which DIMM to replace,
see the "switch to spare memory detected" log entry in the ESM system log to find the memory
module that failed.
• If you run Server Administrator when the system is in "OS Install Mode", it may report the
memory incorrectly. To avoid this issue, you must disable "OS Install Mode" before running the
application.
• If you have to uninstall and reinstall the operating system SNMP service, then reinstall Server
Administrator, so that the Server Administrator SNMP agents are registered with the operating
system SNMP agent.
• Server Administrator Device Drivers for Linux
Server Administrator includes two device drivers for Linux: Dell Systems Management Base Driver
(dcdbas) and Dell BIOS Update Driver (dell_rbu). Server Administrator uses these drivers to perform
its systems management functions. Depending on the system, the application loads one or both of
these drivers. These drivers have been released as open source under the GNU General Public
License v2.0. They are available in Linux kernels from kernel.org starting with kernel 2.6.14.
Notes for Storage Management Service
• Detailed information on the Storage Management Service is available in the
Storage Management Service online help. After installing and launching Server Administrator,
you can access the Storage Management Service online help by selecting the Storage or
lower-level tree object and clicking the Help button on the global navigation bar.
Notes for Remote Access Service
• The remote access service is available on supported systems only in this release. It enables
remote access to a server that has lost its network connection or that has become unresponsive.
In the current release of Server Administrator, the Remote Access Service uses Integrated Dell
Remote Access Controller (iDRAC).
• iDRAC also has its own CLI that is accessed through the "racadm" command. You can add "racadm"
commands to a batch or script file to automate various user tasks. To limit the stress load
on the managed system and RAC, add "sleep" or "delay" commands of one or two seconds
between the individual "racadm" commands.
Corrected Problems
The following problems were reported in earlier releases of Server Administrator and have
been corrected in this release:
