Release Notes
• The selection of default option for the front panel LCD in Server Administrator displays the Model Name whereas the default is a
Service Tag on the physical LCD.
• If Server Administrator does not respond or is locked to your selections on the component tree, perform the following steps:
1. Click Preferences. The Preferences page appears.
2. Click Server Administrator. The items on the front page may respond to your click.
• DF277439: Persistence of Configuration and Log File Changes in VMware ESXi On systems running the VMware ESXi operating
system, the file system is ramdisk. Modifications made to the files within the file system are generally not persistent across reboots,
with the exception of designated configuration and log files. These files are updated to the disk periodically and on system shutdown. If
the system is reset without a graceful shutdown before the updated to the designated configuration are made and before log files are
updated to the disk, the changes are lost.
The following is an example of the effect of this behavior:
○ On certain systems, the first time that the thresholds for a probe are changed after Server Administrator is installed; the current
threshold values for that probe are saved as the default threshold values by writing the values to a configuration file. When Set to
Default is performed after the first change of the thresholds, Server Administrator sets the threshold values to the values that
were saved in the configuration file as the default. If the system 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.
• Due to some limitations, you cannot log on simultaneously to multiple browser instances/tabs using SSO login, as only one session
remains active while the other sessions expire.
• DF489034: Intel TXT configuration fails due to Virtualization technology dependency.
• If the current Virtualization Technology attribute setting is Disabled (Virtualization Technology is part of the Processor Settings group
on the BIOS setup page); the Intel TXT attribute configuration fails on the Server Administrator user interface (System > Main
System Chassis > BIOS > Setup > System Security). To resolve this issue, configure Virtualization technology setting to Enabled
and reconfigure the Intel TXT attribute, if it is configurable.
• DF549057: When an operating system is installed through USC, the BIOS attributes in Server Administrator are displayed as read-
only. You can edit the BIOS attributes 18 hours after the operating system installation.
Workaround: To enable editing of the Server Administrator BIOS attributes, launch Lifecycle Controller while booting.
• DF552204: On Mozilla Firefox browsers (versions 10, 11 and 12), Server Administrator fails to launch if IPv6 address is used.
This is a known issue. For more information, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633001.
• BITS040169: In case of Boot/HDD/UEFI sequence, if they are read-only, then toggle buttons (+ and -) and submit button are not
visible. On the BIOS setup page, dependencies may exist between the various attributes for Bios settings. Setting an attribute value
may change the state of the dependent attributes to non-editable or editable. For example, changing the Boot Mode to UEFI from the
Boot Settings page does not allow you to configure the Boot or Hard-Disk Drive Sequence in the BIOS Boot Settings page. When the
page is non-editable, the toggle buttons on the page allows toggling the order of the boot sequence. However, settings cannot be
configured since Apply button will not available to submit the settings.
• BITS050574: On 11th generation and 12th generation of PowerEdge servers running the Linux OS, the omreport system summary
command displays RAC Command Interface as 7.1.0. "RAC Command Interface" is a DRAC4 RPM and its version is 7.1. It is installed
as a dependent package for iDRAC6 and iDRAC7 Command Interface packages.
• If a new certificate imported to Server Administrator is not active after restarting the Web server, restore the previous certificate. To
restore the previous certificate, do the following:
1. Stop the Web server.
2. Perform one of the following as applicable:
○ On systems running Windows:
▪ Delete the file keystore.db at <installed directory>\Dell\SysMgt\apache- tomcat\conf\
▪ Rename the file keystore.db.bak at <installed directory>\Dell\SysMgt\apache- tomcat\conf\ to
keystore.db
○ On systems running Linux:
▪ For 32-bit OS
- Delete the keystore.db file at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib/openmanage/apache- tomcat/conf
- Rename the keystore.db.bak at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib/openmanage/apache- tomcat/conf to
keystore.db
▪ For 64-bit OS
- Delete the keystore.db file at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apache- tomcat/conf
