Known Limitations and Workarounds
Limitation 1: DF 384362
Description: "Redundancy Status" shows as "Not Applicable" in ESXi even when NICs are teamed.
On VMware ESXi systems, NIC teaming status may not show up in the Server Administrator network section.
This is an expected behavior due to operating system limitation and has no functional impact to the
system.
Limitation 2: DF 384061
Description: Self-signed certificate does not enable the compatibility listener in Windows 2008 R2
managed node.
Workaround: On a Windows 2008 R2 managed node, a valid CA signed certificate is required to create
compatibility mode WinRM Listener. You cannot create a compatibility mode listener with a self signed
certificate.
Limitation 3: DF 165588
Description: Blank page is displayed after the browser is refreshed using <F5> or by clicking the browser
"Refresh" button.
Workaround: Server Administrator UI may show a blank page after the browser is refreshed, using <F5> or
by clicking the browser "Refresh" button in Internet Explorer Version 7.0. This is a known issue and there
is an article and fix provided by Microsoft. The Knowledge Base article number is KB933006 and a fix has
been provided as security update 933566 (MS07-033):Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer.
Limitation 4: DF 319132
Set operation in Server Administrator is blocked if a single sign-on is used to log in.
Workaround: Internet Explorer 8 has a new security feature called "Loopback security check" which
prevents NTLM-based authentication from the local machine. This feature blocks users from performing
any set operation in Server Administrator if they are logged in using single sign-on (SSO), (clicking Server
Administrator desktop icon) on Internet Explorer 8.
Limitation 5: DF 380725
Description: On IE or Firefox Web browsers, you cannot attach files to an e-mail if the filename contains
non-ASCII letters.
Workaround: To attach files to an e-mail rename files to contain ASCII characters.
Limitation 6:
Description: On yx2x servers, Server Administrator displays the Embedded systems management (ESM) or
hardware logs; however, when the maximum limit for number of logs that can be recorded is reached, the
existing oldest logs are overwritten. But for yx1x servers or below, when the maximum limit is reached,
the information logging is stopped.
