Problem Solution
IT Assistant is unable to perform a remote flash
BIOS update for the PowerEdge 300 system.
Server Agent 4.2.1 enables IT Assistant to
perform a remote flash BIOS update for the
PowerEdge 300 system.
Server Agent reports an error message that values
are incorrect for CPU voltage threshold values for
the PowerEdge 8450 system on systems with a
CPU speed of 700 MHz and higher.
Server Agent 4.2.1 reports correct CPU voltage
threshold values.
Server Agent 4.0 did not implement the 96 alert
parameter correctly in the local response agent.
Server Agent 4.2.1 correctly parses the %ALERT
parameter. The %ALERT parameter can now be
located anywhere in the command line and can
optionally be enclosed in double quotes when the
user wants to pass the alert message to the
command line as a single string.
