Issues for Server Administrator running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Operating Systems
Issue 1: When starting Server Administrator from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux console, kernel log
messages may appear. To avoid these messages, perform the following steps:
1. Edit the "/etc/sysconfig/syslog" file and modify KLOGD_OPTIONS to KLOGD_OPTIONS="-c 4".
2. Restart "syslog" by executing "/etc/init.d/syslog restart".
Issue 2: When using the Mozilla browser on Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems, the font and type
size on the Server Administrator global navigation bar appear different from the default font and type size
that application uses.
Issue 3: For systems running a supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, kernel driver
messages such as "AAC_ChardevOpen" may be displayed in the console at the login prompt. These
messages are displayed in the console when the driver initialization is delayed by the installation of Server
Administrator services and can be ignored.
Issues for Remote Access
NOTE: The Remote Access Service is supported on xx1x systems only.
The following subsections list the currently known issues regarding implementation and operation of your
RAC and the Remote Access Service in Server Administrator.
Issues for all Operating Systems
Issue 1: Server Administrator user interface and commands related to "local authentication enable" are not
applicable for RAC firmware 3.20.
The Active Directory authentication feature replaces the "local operating system authentication" feature in
this version of firmware. Due to this change, the following commands return errors:
- "racadm localauthenable"
- "omconfig rac authentication"
Issue 2: Due to fluctuations in the watchdog timer, the "Last Crash Screen" may not be captured when the
Automatic System Recovery is set to a value of less than 30 seconds. To ensure correct functioning of the
"Last Crash Screen" feature, set the System Reset Timer to at least 30 seconds.
Issue 3: DF132894: The cfgDNSServer1 and cfgDNSServer2 properties of group cfgLanNetworking may be
set to identical values while swapping addresses. Some performance may be lost temporarily during the
swapping. The cfgLanNetworking group is configured using the "racadm config" command.
Issue 4: The remote access controller uses FTP protocol to perform some of the Dell OpenManage
commands. If a firewall is installed in the system, it may cause these commands to fail.
The following Server Administrator CLI commands use FTP protocol to communicate with the RAC:
"omconfig rac uploadcert"
