Release Notes
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.
•
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 12th generation of PowerEdge servers, Server Administrator slot page displays
iDRAC information, but on 12G systems, the slot page does not display any iDRAC7 information.
