* Server Administrator GUI Response Time
On Dell PowerEdge x9xx and later systems, the response times
for some parts of the OMSA GUI and CLI have increased to several
seconds because some of the BMC/iDRAC data is no longer cached
by Server Administrator. The data must be retrieved from the
BMC/iDRAC when requested by the user.
The following Server Administrator GUI pages are of note:
- Server Administrator home page on log in
- Remote Access -> Users
- Alert Management -> Platform Events
The amount of time varies by hardware system and operating system.

NOTES FOR THE INSTRUMENTATION SERVICE
======================================================================
* On certain systems, user-defined thresholds set under Server
Administrator become the default thresholds after uninstalling
Server Administrator.
After you change the threshold value of a probe on certain systems
running Server Administrator and then uninstall Server Administrator,
the changed threshold value becomes the default threshold value.
* When 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.
OR
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 apparent which memory module is the
cause. 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 while the system is in "OS Install
Mode", memory may be reported incorrectly by Server Administrator.
