Release Notes

Server Administrator version 6.x for Linux will not have a functional Connection Service web GUI after
upgrading SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 using Service Pack 1. Also, the installed WS-MAN service for
OMSA will not function.
Resolution: To prevent this:
1. Before upgrading SLES 11 operating system, manually uninstall the OpenSource packages like
OpenWSMAN, SFCB, SFCC and LibCmpiCppImpl packages with --nodeps option.
2. Upgrade the SLES11 operating system using Service Pack 1.
If the system is upgraded and is facing issues, then, reinstall the following Server Administrator packages
from the install media:
rpm -Uhv srvadmin-iws-*.sles11.rpm --nodeps
rpm -Uhv srvadmin-itunnelprocider-*.sles11.rpm –nodeps
Versions Affected: 7.4 to 6.0
Issue 5:
Description: DRAC4 service failure message after YUM install. (391720)
RAC4 service startup displays failed to probe DRAC4 when Server Administrator installation is performed
using YUM or if all the RAC RPMs are installed from the Server Administrator DVD. This error message is
observed on a system (9G, 10G, 11G or 12G servers) that does not have a RAC4, but have installed RAC4
RPMs. However, there is no functionality impact.
Message observed is:
DRAC4 probe: DRAC4 pci device not found [FAILED]
Versions Affected: 7.4 and earlier
Issue 6:
Description: Unable to upgrade Server Instrumentation in Interactive mode when older Server
Instrumentation is installed from the custom folders. (062800) (062355)
The installation of Server Instrumentation will not be successful, if you have earlier, initially installed
Server Instrumentation using the custom folder and later try to upgrade it manually.
Resolution:
• It is recommended that you avoid mixing install methods. Mixing install methods will
cause loss of functionality and the upgrade will be unsuccessful. For example, if you have
used the custom folder to install Server Instrumentation, use the same install method to
upgrade Server Instrumentation.
• If the install methods are not mixed, then the upgrade will be successful.
Versions Affected: 7.2 A01 and later
Issue 6:
The Inventory Collector RPM (srvadmin-cm) requires the following RPMs to be preinstalled on servers
prior to 11G running supported 64-bit Linux operating systems.
