Release Notes

• If you change the operating system Time Zone to a new time zone, Server Administrator session management does not display the
time in the new time zone specified. Restart Server Administrator to display the accurate time for the time zone in the Session
Management page.
• DF78425: The Server Administrator Auto Recovery feature may execute the configured action before the time interval when the
system is under heavy stress.
The Auto Recovery feature can be set to execute an action (For example, system reboot) to recover a hung system. Since the Auto
Recovery timer is now an application-level timer instead of a kernel-level timer, heavy resource stress on the system may result in an
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. If the Auto Recovery feature has been enabled, increase the System Reset Timer
value to at least 120 seconds.
• Using the Internet Explorer browser, if you install Server Administrator on a system that includes an underscore in its host name, you
must use the IP address of the target system in the browser URL to launch Server Administrator, as Host names with underscores are
not supported. For example, (assuming Server Administrator is listening on port 1311):
https://192.168.2.3:1311.

• DF152755: The Server Administrator GUI does not respond when the alerts log has many events. If the Alert Log contains several
entries and if you try to navigate to another page, the Server Administrator GUI may take about 30 seconds to display the content.
• DF172125: Power monitoring probes are displayed on certain systems that do not support power monitoring. On certain systems that
do not support power monitoring, Server Administrator reports the two platform event filters related to a power monitoring as
System
Power Probe Warning and System Power Probe Failure. These two filters are not supported on these systems. That is, you can view
and configure these filters, but no action is taken.
• DF185770: Primary User Telephone Number does not accept symbols. On Server Administrator, under Asset Information > System
Information > Primary User Telephone Number configuration allows only alphanumeric characters.
• The selection of default option for the front panel LCD in Server Administrator displays the Model Name whereas the default is a
Service Tag on the physical LCD.
• If Server Administrator does not respond or is locked to your selections on the component tree, perform the following steps:
1. Click Preferences. The Preferences page appears.
2. Click Server Administrator. The items on the front page may respond to your click.
• DF277439: Persistence of Configuration and Log File Changes in VMware ESXi On systems running the VMware ESXi operating
system, the file system is ramdisk. Modifications made to the files within the file system are generally not persistent across reboots,
with the exception of designated configuration and log files. These files are updated to the disk periodically and on system shutdown. If
the system is reset without a graceful shutdown before the updated to the designated configuration are made and before log files are
updated to the disk, the changes are lost.
The following is an example of the effect of this behavior:
• On certain systems, the first time that the thresholds for a probe are changed after Server Administrator is installed; the current
threshold values for that probe are saved as the default threshold values by writing the values to a configuration file. When Set to
Default is performed after the first change of the thresholds, Server Administrator sets the threshold values to the values that
were saved in the configuration file as the default. If the system running the VMware ESXi operating system is reset without a
graceful shutdown before the changes to the configuration file are updated to the disk, the user- defined thresholds become the
default thresholds.
• DF315853: Some Server Administrator CLI commands, function properly only when run from the elevated console window. It is
recommended that you use the elevated console for running the CLI.
• Due to some limitations, you cannot log on simultaneously to multiple browser instances/tabs using SSO login, as only one session
remains active while the other sessions expire.
• DF549057: When an operating system is installed through USC, the BIOS attributes in Server Administrator are displayed as read-
only. You can edit the BIOS attributes 18 hours after the operating system installation.
Workaround: To enable editing of the Server Administrator BIOS attributes, launch Lifecycle Controller while booting.
• BITS040169: In case of Boot/HDD/UEFI sequence, if they are read-only, then toggle buttons (+ and -) and submit button are not
visible. On the BIOS setup page, dependencies may exist between the various attributes for Bios settings. Setting an attribute value
may change the state of the dependent attributes to non-editable or editable. For example, changing the Boot Mode to UEFI from the
Boot Settings page does not allow you to configure the Boot or Hard-Disk Drive Sequence in the BIOS Boot Settings page. When the
page is non-editable, the toggle buttons on the page allows toggling the order of the boot sequence. However, settings cannot be
configured since Apply button will not available to submit the settings.
• BITS050574: On 11th generation and 12th generation of PowerEdge servers running the Linux OS, the omreport system summary
command displays
RAC Command Interface as 7.1.0. "RAC Command Interface" is a DRAC4 RPM and its version is 7.1. It is installed
as a dependent package for iDRAC6 and iDRAC7 Command Interface packages.
