Dell EMC OpenManage Release Notes Version 9.3.1 This document describes the new features, enhancements, and fixed issues in Server Administrator 9.3.1.
Platforms Affected For a complete list of supported Dell PowerEdge systems and supported Operating systems, see the Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Software Support Matrix available in the required version of OpenManage Software at dell.com/openmanagemanuals. What is Supported Hardware Requirements • • • • Minimum of 2 GB RAM Minimum of 512 MB free hard drive space Administrator rights Monitor with a minimum screen resolution of 800 x 600.
• • • • • • • • • • • Mellanox ConnectX-5 Dual Port 25 GbE SFP28 PCIe Adapter Mellanox ConnectX-5 Dual Port 25 GbE SFP28 OCP 3.
• • • • 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.
Issues of Server Administrator on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating Systems • • • • When starting Server Administrator from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux console, kernel log messages may appear. To avoid these messages, perform the following steps: 1. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file and modify KLOGD_OPTIONS to KLOGD_OPTIONS="-c 4". 2. Restart syslog by executing /etc/init.d/syslog restart.
• • • • • BITS054513: On a system running Windows, while running CLI commands using telnet from a system running Linux, the telnet session may terminate if the amount of data being transferred is huge.
• • • • • • For complex omconfig CLI commands that contain multiple set commands in one command line, the CLI may report a success status for the command even if a part of the command failed. To avoid this issue, run only one command per command line. The current settings can be confirmed by performing the corresponding omreport command. Some complex omconfig CLI commands that contain multiple set operations have been modified to avoid the above problem.
inaccurate measurement of a short keep alive interval (less than 120 seconds), and the configured action may be triggered. The issue is more prevalent in systems that have only one CPU with hyper-threading unsupported/disabled or systems that are subjected to persistent stressful conditions such as, resource depletion and CPU running at 100% usage with significantly more threads than normal usage. • • • • • • • The Auto Recovery feature is not enabled by default.
• • Rename the file keystore.db.bak at \Dell\SysMgt\apache- tomcat\conf\ to keystore.db On systems running Linux: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Delete the keystore.db file at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apache- tomcat/conf Rename the keystore.db.bak at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apache-tomcat/conf to keystore.db 3. Start the Web server.
Issues of Server Administrator on all Operating Systems • The Server Administrator user interface and commands related to local authentication enable are not applicable for RAC firmware 3.20. The Active Directory authentication feature replaces the local operating system authentication feature in this version of firmware.

Dell EMC OpenManage Release Notes Version 9.3.1 The following section describes the issues and workaround in Server Administrator Storage Management.
• Description: The Import Foreign Configuration task can only import virtual disks that have consistent data. A virtual disk with inconsistent data cannot be imported. When importing multiple virtual disks in a single operation, however, the Import Foreign Configuration task may report successful completion even when inconsistent virtual disks are present and have not been imported successfully.
• BITS148893: When creating a virtual disk on PERC S130 (software RAID) controller, if you do not select the first option under Assign Dedicated Hot Spare a message appears: DHS not assigned to VD. When you create a virtual disk on a software RAID controller using the Create Virtual Disk wizard, the GUI control only verifies the first available option under DHS, leaving the other options unverified even if it is selected.
Description: In PERC S140 advanced wizard, virtual disk creation fails if a combination of NVMe and HHHL addin cards(AIC) are present. This issue is observed if the PCI slot ID of the add-in card (AIC) matches with the NVMe drive slot number. However, if only NVMe drives are used, you can successfully create the virtual disks. This is because the GUI code is unable to differentiate the slot ID/ number in Create Virtual Disks Advanced Wizard. NOTE: This issue does not cause any data loss.
• JIT-106970:After change controller mode operation is performed, two alerts that are generated have the same alert ID and description. • If the controller name is not displayed in the alert message, check the controller information for mapping the controller ID and controller name. • JIT-106295: Critical and warning a lert is not displayed on Enhanced Event Message alert for Physical Device and Controller ID on Available Spare threshold.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • JIT-120251: The foreign physical disks connected to the system, on reaching the maximum number of supported virtual disk by the controller is displayed on the Import Preview page as Orphan Drive. JIT-117872: On performing the unblink operation on physical disk connected to 12Gbps SAS HBA, observing both health and activity LEDs light turn off. JIT-121226: Storage Management is enumerating connector health status as HHHL AIC status in SWRaid NVMe configuration.
NOTE: This option should be set to Trusted sites. 5. Click the Custom Level button. 6. For Windows 2003, perform the following: • a. In Miscellaneous, select the Allow META REFRESH radio button. b. In Active Scripting, select the Enable radio button. c. Under Active scripting, select the Allow scripting of Microsoft web browser controls radio button. 7. Click OK and restart your browser. To allow Single Sign-on for Server Administrator, perform the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
The amount of time varies depending on the hardware and operating system.
