Release Notes

When Server Administrator is installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 operating system, inventory
collector service fails and the following error message is displayed:
libstdc++.so.5 is required to run the Inventory collector
When the inventory collector service fails, management station does not report the inventory of the
system (information on hardware, software, firmware, and so on).
To resolve this issue, manually install the following RPMs:
— Procmail
— compat-libstdc++.i686
— libxml2.i686
Do not install these RPMs, if you do not need the functionality of the inventory collector.
Issues for Server Administrator running on all supported Operating Systems
• Due to resource non-availability, inventory collection may terminate unexpectedly and restart. If this occurs,
the folder
C:\Temp\invcol may be left as an artifact.
The presence of this folder does not affect functionality of the inventory collection. The folder can
be deleted if required.
• After installing Server Administrator from the command prompt, issuing an "omreport" or "omconfig"
command from the same prompt can cause an error. Open a new command prompt and issue commands
from the new window.
• If the command log page in the Server Administrator GUI displays an error message indicating that the
XML is malformed, you must clear the command log from the CLI using the "omconfig system cmdlog
action=clear" command.
• After a "Reset to Defaults" operation of the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller, the first user
configuration operation will fail if it is a single user configuration item (such as enabling or disabling a user
or changing user name). Always change a combination of two user configuration items (such as enabling or
disabling a user and changing user name) concurrently during your first configuration operation.
• While browsing through IT Assistant, if the SNMP protocol is disabled and the CIM protocol is enabled, the
redundancy status is shown as "lost" even though the system has full redundancy. To confirm the correct
state of the system, use the Server Administrator user interface.
• The "Format or Split Mirror" operation may fail on a RAID 1 virtual disk on a CERC SATA 1.5/6ch
controller.
Dell is working to resolve this problem.
• When issuing the Server Administrator command line "omreport system version -outc <filename>", ensure
that you specify an absolute path name for the output file, for example, "c:\out.txt"; otherwise, the output file
will be empty.
• Issuing the "omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog -fmt tbl" command on the CLI can result in XML
parsing errors if the size of the log is very large. Use the GUI or the "omreport system
esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog" CLI command to view the contents of the log.
• For complex "omconfig" CLI commands that contain multiple set commands in one command line, the CLI
may report a success status for the command even if part of the command failed. To avoid this issue, run
only one command per command line. The current settings can be confirmed by performing the
corresponding "omreport" command.
• Some complex "omconfig" CLI commands that contain multiple set operations have been modified to avoid
the above problem. If, while executing a CLI command you receive the message
Error! Illegal
combination of parameters
, modify your command into several simpler commands. Each command
should change only one setting.
• When running Server Administrator on a system with a Traditional Chinese operating system, the Server
Administrator pages are displayed in Simplified Chinese. To view the Server Administrator in English, go to
your browser language preference page and change the language to English.
• Log files saved from Server Administrator are saved in zip format. For best results, it is recommended to
open this zip file using WinZip. Using the Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP embedded "Compressed
(zipped) Folder" utility is not recommended.
