Release Notes

 On certain systems, user-defined thresholds set under Server Administrator become the
default thresholds after uninstalling Server Administrator.
 If 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.
 While 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.
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 clear which memory module caused it. 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 when the system is in "OS Install Mode", it may report the
memory incorrectly. To avoid this issue, you must disable "OS Install Mode" before
running the application.
 If you have to uninstall and reinstall the operating system SNMP service, then reinstall
Server Administrator, so that the Server Administrator SNMP agents are registered with the
operating system SNMP agent.
Server Administrator Device Drivers for Linux: Server Administrator includes two device
drivers for Linux: Systems - Management Base Driver (dcdbas) and BIOS Update Driver
(dell_rbu).
 Server Administrator uses these drivers to perform the systems management functions.
Depending on the system, the application loads one or both of these drivers. These drivers
have been released as open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0. They are
available in Linux kernels from kernel.org starting with kernel 2.6.14.
 CMC USB ports attached with blade is not enumerated by Server Administrator.
Notes for Storage Management Service
 Detailed information on the Storage Management Service is available in the Storage
Management Service online help. After installing and launching Server Administrator, you
can access the Storage Management Service online help by selecting the Storage or
lower-level tree object and clicking the Help button on the global navigation bar.
Notes for Remote Access Service
 The remote access service is available on supported systems only in this release. It enables
remote access to a server that has lost its network connection or that has become
unresponsive. In the current release of Server Administrator, the Remote Access Service
uses Integrated Remote Access Controller (iDRAC).
 iDRAC also has its own CLI that is accessed through the "racadm" command. You can add
"racadm" commands to a batch or script file to automate various user tasks. To limit the
stress load on the managed system and RAC, add "sleep" or “delay" commands of one or
two seconds between the individual "racadm" commands.
 On systems prior to 12G, Server Administrator slot page displays iDRAC information, but
on 12G systems, the slot page does not display any iDRAC7 information.
