Important Notes
Notes for Server Administrator
On 12G systems with iDRAC7 1.30.30 and later versions, you can set the Platform Event
Destination as IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN.
Notes for Instrumentation Service
• On 11G systems, if conflicting BIOS settings exist while configuring BIOS setup options
through Server Administrator, the update attempt may fail at system reboot and none of
the BIOS setup options may be updated.
For example, when you configure Embedded SATA Controller to RAID and Boot Mode to
UEFI simultaneously (UEFI does not support RAID option), the conflict prevents the BIOS
configuration updates (at system reboot).
• 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.
