Known Issues on Linux operating systems

Issue description: Server Administrator components get removed during an OS upgrade. (380137). During an OS upgrade, some of the

srvadmin packages may get removed.

Resolution: After an operating system upgrade, reinstall the Server Administrator since the srvadmin packages may not be applicable for

the upgraded operating system. Example: After upgrading SLES 10 to SLES 11, Server Administrator must be reinstalled as the SLES 10

srvadmin packages may not work with SLES 11.

Versions Affected: 8.4.0 and earlier

Issue description: Existing connection service lost after SLES 11 upgrade. (388955). Server Administrator version 6.x for Linux does not

have a functional Connection Service web GUI after upgrading SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 using Service Pack 1. Also, the installed

WS-MAN service for OMSA does not function.

Resolution: To prevent it:

1. Before upgrading SLES 11 operating system, manually uninstall the open-source packages like OpenWSMAN, SFCB, SFCC and

LibCmpiCppImpl packages with — nodeps option.

2. Upgrade the SLES11 operating system using Service Pack 1.

If the system is upgraded and is facing issues, then, reinstall the following Server Administrator packages from the install media:

rpm -Uhv srvadmin-iws-*.sles11.rpm --nodeps rpm -Uhv srvadmin-itunnelprocider-*.sles11.rpm –

nodeps

Versions Affected: 8.4.0 to 6.0

localhost:1311 to access Server Administrator.

otherwise encounter while using Virtual Media.

Versions Affected: 8.4.0 and earlier

Issue Description: YUM uninstall leaves services running. (410584)
