Release Notes
– Encription Ciphers list has been updated as per OWASP Apache Tomcat Security Standards.
– Supports NVDIMM (Non Volatile DIMM) monitoring in PowerEdge 14G servers.
– Supports System Conguration Lockdown Mode in PowerEdge 14G servers.
– Supports “Full Power Cycle” capability under BIOS settings which enables DC Power cycle followed by AC Power cycle of the
auxiliary components (includes iDRAC, CPLD, etc.).
– Server Administrator Shared Service which is used to invoke the Inventory Collector would be disabled by default during installation
of Server Administrator. In order to invoke Inventory Collector explicitly customer should enable it through Server Administrator
command line interface.
– Server Administrator ESXi VIB leverages the ESXi OS Live installation capability so that a host OS reboot will not be required post
installation or removal of the VIB.
Storage Services
– Support for "Prepare To Remove" operation for PCIe SSD devices through PERC S140 controller.
– Support for setting the critical threshold and warning threshold for available spare and alert generation.
– Support for the following Intel Clidale devices are added: P4500, and P4600
– Support for CAPONE V2 (BOSS) device.
– Support for Ubuntu 16.04.3 operating system.

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 conicting BIOS settings exist while conguring 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 congure Embedded SATA Controller to RAID and Boot Mode to UEFI simultaneously (UEFI does not support
RAID option), the conict prevents the BIOS conguration updates (at system reboot).
• On certain systems, user-dened 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 rmware as discrete integer values and scaled for display. If
the modied 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 nd 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.
