Release Type and Definition Server Administrator This document contains updated information for the Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide and any other technical documentation included with Server Administrator.
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. The recommended screen resolution is at least 1024 x 768 Software Requirements ● Supported operating system and web browser. ● TCP/IP connection on the managed system and the remote system to facilitate remote system management. ● Supported systems management protocol standard.
○ Intel Fortville 10GbE SFP+ OCP3.0 2P ○ Intel 2.i350 1GbE OCP3.0 2P ● Supported new feature: ○ Support for Java Runtime Environment 11.0.4. ○ Support new BOSS-S1 events (PDR221,PDR222,PDR223,PDR224) in Storage Management. ○ Added EEMI messages to include the Part Number of the failing component. ○ Support Sanitize Cryptographic Erase for NVMe drives in Linux and ESXi operating systems. ● QLogic SNMP agent is no longer bundled with Server Administrator windows installer.
● 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.
● JIT-129751: Server Administrator and Storage Management AppLaunch are missing in OpenManage Essentials. Restart DSM SA Data Manager service to resolve this issue. 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.
Description: In a Microsoft Hyper-V environment, the Server Administrator Network page may indicate network adapters that are connected to a network and display Ethernet statistics but, the IP address is displayed as 'Unknown'. This is because Hyper-V virtualizes adapters that are bonded to its virtual switch. The Server Administrator only discovers physical network adapters and displays their IP addresses that are fully-controlled by the operating system and not by hypervisors.
● Some complex omconfig CLI commands that contain multiple set operations have been modified to avoid the above problem. While running a CLI command if the message, Error! Illegal combination of parameters is displayed, modify your command into several simpler commands. Each command should change only one setting. ● When running Server Administrator on a system with a traditional Chinese operating system, the application pages are displayed in simplified Chinese.
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.
￭ ￭ Delete the file keystore.db at \Dell\SysMgt\apache- tomcat\conf\ Rename the file keystore.db.bak at \Dell\SysMgt\apachetomcat\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.

Storage Management Service The following section describes the issues and workaround in Server Administrator Storage Management. Known Issues and Workarounds for Storage Management Service ● With Chinese or Japanese language browser settings, using the Storage Management Service Advanced Create Virtual Disk Wizard may occasionally result in text overflowing to the bottom of the side-by-side blue text boxes.
Description: When using the "Create Virtual Disk" wizard from the Storage Management graphical user interface (GUI), you may notice decreased performance when using Internet Explorer 9.x or 10.x on a system with multiple physical disks. The MD1000/MD1400/MD1420 storage enclosures that are heavily populated with mixed SAS and SATA physical disks. Solution: Use a supported web browser other than Internet Explorer 9.x or 10.
● JIT-10452 (BITS236815): Occasionally, the virtual disk creation process on PERC 9 hardware controllers may fail on GUI and CLI. Workaround: Restart the server to resolve this issue. ● BITS055347: On systems running the ESXi 5.1 or later operating system, the “Device Name” for all virtual disks will be displayed as a blank. This is an expected behavior on systems running the ESXi 5.1 or later operating system.
● ● ● ● Critical Threshold for PCIe SSDs is set to %1" respectively, instead of "The Available Spare Warning Threshold for PCIe SSDs is set to " and "The Available Spare Critical Threshold for PCIe SSDs is set to ". JIT-80079: On a system with S140 controller, when prepare to remove operation is performed on a non-RAID NVMe drive, the Virtual disk bus protocol for the VD associated with that drive is shown as SATA, instead of PCIe SSD.
● JIT-113370: RAID 10 virtual disk creation using intelligent mirroring fails, as the support is not available from this release of OpenManage. ● JIT-117535 : On the Web Server the Command Line Interface commands does not display the correct exit codes for all subqueries when Server Administrator services is not running. ● JIT-110132 : When the enclosure is hot plug-in to the 12GBPS HBA controller observes an additional physical disk id in alert log page.
Make sure to choose the proper disk following RAID-10 guidelines. ● JIT-151463 : On RHEL 7 and SLES 15 under Storage for the HBA330 controller, the Slots Occupancy Report does not display the empty slots available that do not contain a disk drive. ● JIT-153490 : The Slot Occupancy Report displays as 12 slots instead of 8 slots on PowerEdge R7515 systems with 8 SAS or SATA or 16 NVMe backplane configurations on a PERC controller.
