Release Notes

• 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.
b Click Edit.
c Click Preferences.
d Click Advanced in the left sidebar.
e Click Proxies in the left sidebar.
f Enter the RAC IP address in the No Proxy for: eld.
g Click OK and then close the browser.
• To view the RAC Web-based interface when using Mozilla 1.6, you must congure your cookie settings to Enable all cookies.
• To enable all cookies, go to the menu options and click Edit > Preferences > Privacy & Security > Cookies, and then select Enable all
cookies. If you do not perform these steps, you cannot log on to the Web interface and a message appears indicating that your
username and password are incorrect.
• DF384362: Redundancy Status displays as Not Applicable in ESXi even when NICs are teamed. On VMware ESXi systems, NIC
teaming status may not display up in the Server Administrator network section. This is an expected behavior due to the operating
system limitation and has no functional impact to the system.
• DF384061: Self-signed certicate does not enable the compatibility listener in Windows 2008 R2 managed node. On a Windows 2008
R2 managed node, a valid CA signed certicate is required to create compatibility mode WinRM Listener. You cannot create a
compatibility mode listener with a self-signed certicate.
• DF380725: On Internet Explorer or Firefox Web browsers, you cannot attach les to an e- mail if the lename contains non-ASCII
letters. To attach les to an e-mail, rename les to contain ASCII characters.
• On 12th generation of PowerEdge servers, Server Administrator displays the Embedded Systems Management (ESM) or hardware
logs. However, when the maximum limit for number of logs that can be recorded is reached, the existing oldest logs are overwritten.
But for 11th generation of PowerEdge servers or prior, when the maximum limit is reached, the information logging is stopped.
• DF523827: On Citrix XenServer 6.0 or later, if the Alert on Console alert action is congured from the Server Administrator CLI or GUI,
the alert message may not be displayed in a readable format.
• BITS113585: Server Administrator does not log CPU or CMOS Battery Probe Alerts and does not send SNMP traps.
• To resolve this issue, stop the USB arbitration service and run the Inventory Collector. To stop the USB arbitration service:
a Run the ps aux|grep usb command to check if the USB arbitration service is running.
b Run the chkcong usbarbitrator o command to prevent the USB arbitration service from starting during boot.
c After the USB arbitrator service is stopped, reboot the server to allow the Inventory collector to run.
