Important Notes
Notes for Server Administrator
On 12th generation or later PowerEdge server with iDRAC7 1.30.30 and later versions, you can set the Platform Event Destination as IPv4,
IPv6, or FQDN.
Notes for Instrumentation Service
• On 11th generation or later PowerEdge server, if conflicting BIOS settings exist while configuring BIOS setup options through Server
Administrator, the update attempt may fail at system reboot and none of the BIOS setup options may be updated.
• For example, when you configure Embedded SATA Controller to RAID and Boot Mode to UEFI simultaneously (UEFI does not support
RAID option), the conflict prevents the BIOS configuration updates (at system reboot).
• 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-failed state.
○ Redundancy Lost — The sensors display this status whenever any system fan fails or is removed from the chassis.
• If a system with memory redundancy enabled enters a redundancy lost state, it may not be clear which memory module caused it. If
you cannot determine which DIMM to replace, see the switch to spare memory detected log entry in the ESM system log to find
the memory module that failed.
• If you run Server Administrator when the system is in OS Install Mode, it may report the memory incorrectly. To avoid this issue, you
must disable OS Install Mode before running the application.
• If you have to uninstall and reinstall the operating system SNMP service, then reinstall 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 to a blade are 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)
