Release Notes

– racadm localauthenable
– omcong rac authentication
• Due to uctuations in the watchdog timer, the Last Crash Screen may not be captured when the Automatic System Recovery is
set to a value of less than 30 seconds. To ensure the correct functioning of the Last Crash Screen feature, set the System
Reset Timer to at least 30 seconds.
• DF132894: The cfgDNSServer1 and cfgDNSServer2 properties of group cfgLanNetworking may be set to identical values while
swapping addresses. Some performance may be lost temporarily during the swapping. The cfgLanNetworking group is
congured using theracadm cong command.
• The remote access controller uses FTP protocol to perform some of the Server Administrator commands. If a rewall is installed
in the system, it may cause these commands to fail.
The following Server Administrator CLI commands use FTP protocol to communicate with the RAC:
– omcong rac uploadcert
– omcong rac generatecert
The following racadm commands use FTP protocol to communicate with the RAC:
– racadm sslcertupload
– racadm sslcsrgen
– racadm fwupdate
• If the RAC conguration is reset to factory defaults using the racadm racresetcfg command, the RAC conguration tab in Server
Administrator does not reect the reset conguration settings until the system reboots. Also, the RAC conguration page in
Server Administrator cannot be used to make any conguration changes until the system reboots.
• The RAC does not support local RAC user IDs with special characters. When adding a local RAC user, use only alphanumeric
characters for the user name.
• While the RAC is being reset, the Instrumentation Service cannot read sensor data for certain systems. As a result, the voltage,
temperature, and other probes may not be visible on the Server Administrator home page until the RAC has completed resetting.
• The RAC may not send traps when your system is locked up. To enable traps to be sent when the system is locked, congure the
watchdog timer using the Server Administrator GUI. On the GUI, click the "Properties" tab and ensure that Auto Recovery is
selected. The default value of theAction On Hung Operating System Detection setting is None.None indicates that detection
will not be performed.
• RAC rmware 2.0 and later does not support passwords with special characters (non- alphanumeric) only for RAC user IDs
logging in using the Web-based interface (with Local RAC Authentication). You cannot log on to RAC, if you created RAC user
IDs using previous versions of the rmware or using Server Administrator that is running version 2.0 rmware on the managed
system.
Use one of these methods to correct this issue:
– Change your passwords before updating the rmware.
– Use the following CLI command to change the password: omcong rac users username=xx userpassword=yy where xx is
the original user ID and yy is the new password.
– Change the password through Server Administrator using the User tab. Make sure that the check box to change the
password is checked. Enter a new password, and then enter it again to validate the change.
* Use the racadm utility to change the password: racadm cong -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i
<usr_index> <new_pwd> where <usr_index> is the index of the user database entry to be modied and <new_pwd> is
the new password.
• Depending on your network and proxy congurations and whether you are using Mozilla browser, you may need to enter the
exact IP address of the RAC controller, you are trying to access in the No Proxy for eld of your browser.
Perform the following steps:
a. Open your Mozilla browser.
