Release Notes

ManualsBrandsDell ManualsActive System ManagerOpenManage Server Administrator Version 9.3.2

• 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)

Notes for Storage Management Service

Detailed information on the Storage Management Service is available in the Storage Management Service online help. After installing and

launching Server Administrator, you can access the Storage Management Service online help by selecting the Storage or lower-level tree

object and clicking the Help button on the global navigation bar.

Notes for Remote Access Service

• The remote access service is available on supported systems only in this release. It enables remote access to a server that has lost its

network connection or that has become unresponsive. In the current release of Server Administrator, the Remote Access Service uses

Integrated Remote Access Controller (iDRAC).

• iDRAC also has its own CLI that is accessed through the racadm command. You can add racadm commands to a batch or script file to

automate various user tasks. To limit the stress load on the managed system, and RAC, add sleep or delay commands of one or two

seconds between the individual

racadm commands.

• On systems prior to 11th generation PowerEdge server, Server Administrator slot page displays iDRAC information, but on 12th

generation or later PowerEdge servers, the slot page does not display any iDRAC7 information.

Known Issues for Server Administrator

This section provides information on open issues and resolutions with this release of Server Administrator.

Issues of Server Administrator on VMware ESX Operating

Systems

• DF354388: Remote Server Administrator Web Server connection to a managed node hangs, if a redundant virtual disk containing

syslog dumps fails.

• If you configure the syslog to store logs on a remote virtual disc (VD), and remove the remote VD without reconfiguring the syslog

to a valid location, the Server Administrator web server screen stops responding.

• To continue using the Server Administrator Web server, restart the management services on the managed node.

• BITS072069: On ESX/ESXi Operating Systems, Server Administrator configuration changes are not persisted after an unclean

shutdown.

• If the server abruptly reboots, configuration changes to Server Administrator Preferences are not retained on VMware ESX or

ESXi operating systems. Once an hour, VMware runs a scheduled backup to update any configuration changes to the installed

applications (VIBs). For more information, refer to the Knowledge Base article at -

http://Kb.vmware.com/kb/2001780

• BITS119710: On systems running the VMware ESXi operating system, the TOE status of a network controller is not available.

• On ESXi 5.5 and later operating systems, NIC cards using Native drivers display limited information on Server Administrator.
