Server Administrator 8.1.
Release Type and Definition Server Administrator This document contains updated information for the "Server Administrator User's Guide" and any other technical documentation included with Server Administrator. NOTE: System Management software, including the Server Administrator (Server Administrator), is available only on the "Systems Management Tools and Documentation" DVD.
Software Requirements • Supported operating system and web browser. • TCP/IP connection on the managed system and the remote system to facilitate remote system management. • Supported systems management protocol standard. For more information, see "Supported Systems Management Protocol Standards". • The Server Administrator Remote Access Controller service requires remote access controller (RAC) to be installed on the managed system.
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-failed state.
• On systems prior to 11th generation PowerEdge server, Server Administrator slot page displays iDRAC information, but on 12th generation or later PowerEdge servers, the slot page does not display any iDRAC7 information. Known Limitations for Server Administator This section provides information on open issues and resolutions with this release of Server Administrator.
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. Limitations of Server Administrator on all Linux Operating Systems • DF275424 and DF332775: Domain users unable to login to Windows MN from Linux Web Server. o Negotiate authentication is not supported while remotely managing a Windows-based managed node from a Linux-based Server Administrator Web server.
• for virtual machines Description: In a Microsoft Hyper-V environment, the Server Administrator Network page may indicate network adapters that are connected to a network and display Ethernet statistics but, the IP address is displayed as 'Unknown'. This is because Hyper-V virtualizes adapters that are bonded to its virtual switch. The Server Administrator only discovers physical network adapters and displays their IP addresses that are fully-controlled by the operating system and not by hypervisors.
• DF103661: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 - Alert Action -> Execute Application For security reasons, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is configured to not to allow interactive services. When a service is installed as an interactive service on Microsoft Windows Server 2008, the operating system logs an error message in the Windows System log about the service being marked as an interactive service.
o o o o o Embedded Video Controller: Server Administrator provides options to enable or disable, but in F2 BIOS the option is grayed out. TPM Security: Server Administrator does not allow to change the settings, but F2 BIOS allows to change the settings. System Profile State: Server Administrator does not allow to make changes, but F2 BIOS allows to make the changes. Memory Testing: Server Administrator does not support this feature, but F2 BIOS supports this feature.
Web server, a blank page is displayed. To fix this issue, restore your original "keystore.db" file before importing a valid root certificate. To restore the "keystore.db" file, use both the basic operating system commands and the Server Administrator Command Line Instrumentation (CLI). Perform the following steps from your operating system command line: 1. Type: omconfig system webserver action=stop 2. Locate the "keystore.db.bak" file. The default path is "C:\program files\dell\SysMgt\apache-tomcat\conf".
• If you change the operating system Time Zone to a new time zone, Server Administrator session management does not display the time in the new time zone specified. Restart Server Administrator to display the accurate time for the time zone in the Session Management page. • DF78425: The Server Administrator Auto Recovery feature may execute the configured action before the time interval when the system is under heavy stress.
running the VMware ESXi operating system is reset without a graceful shutdown before the changes to the configuration file are updated to the disk, the user- defined thresholds become the default thresholds. • DF315853: Some Server Administrator CLI commands, function properly only when run from the elevated console window. It is recommended that you use the elevated console for running the CLI.
o 3. Rename the keystore.db.bak at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib/openmanage/apachetomcat/conf to keystore.db For 64-bit OS Delete the keystore.db file at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apachetomcat/conf Rename the keystore.db.bak at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apache-tomcat/conf to keystore.db Start the Web server.
o o o "racadm sslcertupload" "racadm sslcsrgen" "racadm fwupdate" • If the RAC configuration is reset to factory defaults using the "racadm racresetcfg" command, the RAC configuration tab in Server Administrator does not reflect the reset configuration settings until the system reboots. Also, the RAC configuration page in Server Administrator cannot be used to make any configuration changes until the system reboots. • The RAC does not support local RAC user IDs with special characters.
• To view the RAC Web-based interface when using Mozilla 1.6, you must configure your cookie settings to "Enable all cookies". • To enable all cookies, go to the menu options and click "Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security > Cookies", and then select "Enable all cookies". If you do not perform these steps, you cannot log on to the Web interface and a message appears indicating that your username and password are incorrect.
Workaround: Perform the following and manage the remote system from the web server. 1. Configure TCP Chimney offload to disable state by running the following command: netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled 2. Configure RSS (Receive Side Scaling) to disable state by running the following command: netsh 3.
Storage Management Service Known Limitations and Workarounds for Storage Management Service • With Chinese or Japanese language browser settings, using the Storage Management Service Advanced Create VDisk Wizard may occasionally result in text overflowing to the bottom of the side-by-side blue text boxes. • View slot occupancy report shows 4 HDD slots on backplanes with just two HDD slots for any server. • Physical disk clear operation is not available on PERC 8 family of controllers.
virtual disks in a single operation, however, the "Import Foreign Configuration" task may report successful completion even when inconsistent virtual disks are present and have not been imported successfully. Solution: If the "Import Foreign Configuration" task is unable to import an inconsistent virtual disk, then the physical disks that belong to the virtual disk continue to display a "Foreign" state after the "Import Foreign Configuration" task completes.
presence of multiple PCIe Extender cards on the system. • BITS124349: Firmware version for SAS 9207_8e, SAS 9206_16e, and SAS 9300_8e, will not be displayed on the Storage Management GUI and CLI. • BITS123999: SAS 9300_8e is not supported on systems running the VMware ESXi operating system. • BITS128355: The slot occupancy report displays single backplane ID and backplane name in the Storage Management GUI and CLI.
Installation Prerequisites Storage Management does not display controllers and their features on systems that do not meet the driver and firmware requirements. At Storage Management runtime, you can determine whether the system meets the firmware requirement or not, by checking the application log files for notifications on outdated firmware. At runtime, On SCSI controllers, Storage Management displays the firmware version at runtime while on SAS controllers it displays the firmware and driver versions.
• "The Web server on 1311 allows to delete "/" which implies that the web server will allow a remote user to delete the files in root on the server." • "The web server on 1311 may be susceptible to a 'www Infinite Request' attack." • "It is possible to make the remote thttpd server execute arbitrary code by sending a request like: GET If-Modified-Since:AAA[...]AAAA Solution: If you are using thttpd, upgrade to version 2.0. Else, contact the vendor for a patch or change the web server.
