Table 12-1. Resolved Issues for Server Agent Version 4.2.1
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.
Intermittent incorrect fan probe readings of zero
RPMs cause faulty alerts to be generated. Invalid
fan probe readings also compromise the usability
of Server Agent.
Server Agent 4.2.1 prevents false alerts for fan
probes based on incorrect readings of fan RPM
values. This update also addresses usability issues
caused by these incorrect fan RPM values. The
incorrect fan RPM readings originate on
PowerEdge systems that report systems
management information to the management
console using Server Agent version 4.0.
Seven-character service tags display incorrectly. Formerly, certain combinations of characters and
numbers in the seven-character service tag either
did not display correctly or did not display at all.
Server Agent 4.2.1 displays service tags correctly.
False power supply fan readings. Server Agent
reports high power supply fan RPM readings. The
readings exceed the upper failure threshold and
are reported as failures.
Server Agent 4.2.1 corrects the problem of false
fan probe alerts.
