• BITS145720: App Crash (Xalan-c.dll crash) after successful WMI query of OMSA & Disney
classes concurrently

Important Notes
*BITS169696: When Server Administrator is installed on systems running the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7 OS, the OS may stop responding after Server Administrator services are started.
This issue is observed when Server Administrator services are started after the installation or
when Server Administrator services are started, by default after a system restart. However, this
issue is observed only on few servers.
Solution: Apply the latest Z-stream kernel patch on the system. The issue is resolved by the
kernel rpm - kernel-3.10.0-123.8.1.el7.x86_64.rpm.
Notes for Instrumentation Service
• 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 enabled memory redundancy enters a "redundancy lost" state, it may not
be clear which memory module caused it. To find the memory module that failed, see the
"switch to spare memory detected" log entry in the ESM system log.
