Release Notes

instead of a kernel-level timer, heavy resource stress on the system may result in an
inaccurate measurement of a short keep alive interval (less than 120 seconds), and the
configured action may be triggered.
The issue is more prevalent in systems that have only one CPU with hyper-threading
unsupported/disabled or systems that are subjected to persistent stressful conditions such
as, resource depletion and CPU running at 100% usage with significantly more threads
than normal usage.
The Auto Recovery feature is not enabled by default. If the Auto Recovery feature has been
enabled, increase the System Reset Timer value to at least 120 seconds.
 Using the Internet Explorer browser, if you install Server Administrator on a system that
includes an underscore in its hostname, you must use the IP address of the target system
in the browser URL to launch Server Administrator, as Hostnames with underscores are
not supported. For example, (assuming Server Administrator is listening on port 1311):
https://192.168.2.3:1311.

 DF 152755: The Server Administrator GUI does not respond when the alerts log has many
events. If the Alert Log contains several entries and if you try to navigate to another page,
the Server Administrator GUI may take about 30 seconds to display the content.
 DF 172125: Power monitoring probes are displayed on certain systems that do not support
power monitoring. On certain systems that do not support power monitoring, Server
Administrator reports the two platform event filters related to power monitoring as
"System Power Probe Warning" and "System Power Probe Failure". These two filters are
not supported on these systems. That is, you can view and configure these filters, but no
action is taken.
 DF185770: Primary User Telephone Number does not accept symbols. On Server
Administrator, under Asset Information->System Information->Primary User Telephone
Number configuration allows only alphanumeric characters.
 The selection of default option for front panel LCD in Server Administrator displays the
Model Name whereas the default is Service Tag on the physical LCD.
 In case Server Administrator does not respond or is locked to your selections on the
component tree, perform the following steps:
1. Click “Preferences”. The Preferences page appears.
2. Click “Server Administrator”. The items on the front page may respond to your click.
 DF277439: Persistence of Configuration and Log File Changes in VMware ESXi On systems
running the VMware ESXi operating system, the file system is ramdisk. Modifications made
to the files within the file system are generally not persistent across reboots, with the
exception of designated configuration and log files. These files are updated to the disk
periodically and on system shutdown. If the system is reset without a graceful shutdown
before the updated to the designated configuration are made and before log files are
updated to the disk, the changes are lost.
The following is an example of the effect of this behavior:
o On certain systems, the first time that the thresholds for a probe are changed
after Server Administrator is installed; the current threshold values for that
probe are saved as the default threshold values by writing the values to a
configuration file. When "Set to Default" is performed after the first change of
the thresholds, Server Administrator sets the threshold values to the values
that were saved in the configuration file as the default. If the system running
the VMware ESXi operating system is reset without a graceful shutdown
before the changes to the configuration file are updated to the disk, the user-
defined thresholds become the default thresholds.
