Release Notes

Except for AC power cord traps, SNMP traps for server instrumentation are not generated
when the state of the device sensor changes from unknown to normal. While migrating
the chassis of a PowerEdge M520, M620, or M820 server running Windows operating
system from M1000e to VRTX chassis, reboot the server after the new drivers are detected
and installed. If not, the DSM SA Data Manager service crashes on startup and OMSA
fails.(BITS125071)
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.
