- Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator 9.4 Release Notes
Critical Threshold for PCIe SSDs is set to %1" respectively, instead of "The Available Spare Warning Threshold for PCIe SSDs
is set to <value>" and "The Available Spare Critical Threshold for PCIe SSDs is set to <value>".
● 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-97576: On systems running Vmware ESXi operating systems for BOSS controller, an alert is displayed as rebuild
completed which requires service restart to log the alerts.
● JIT-94666: For Non-RAID drives attached to SWRAID controller enumerates for virtual Disk layout as Non-RAID. Whereas
on Storage Management GUI, when you click on virtual disk name the physical drives does not display as Non-RAID.”
● JIT-96670: On systems running VMware operating systems if the sfcbd-watchdog is stopped abruptly before completion of
the SNMP traps for storage task is logged. Semaphore leak is observed.
Workaround: Run the sfcbd-watchdog until SNMP traps for storage task is completed.
● JIT-96484: Auto Config RAID 0 task fails and displays improper error message, when there are no free drives to create RAID
0 virtual disks on the server. Exit the wizard of the error page as Server Administrator log out.
Workaround: Once again login to OMSA GUI.
● JIT-97151: Full view of Physical Disk Page in Server Administrator GUI, the negotiated speed for a 6Gbps drive capable
speed is intermittently shown as 12Gbps.
● JIT-94842: Storage Management carries SHA1 signed library ( storelibIR) in the current release.
● JIT-95176: The Physical disks available in MX5016s connected to MX7000 chassis slot 8 does not support RAID-10
intelligent mirror virtual disk creation.
● JIT-92467: The dynamic mapping of an enclosure for the first time also displays the unmapped enclosure for a short period.
Refresh the Server Administrator page to remove the unmapped enclosure entries.
● JIT-104975: In storage management, FAN speed changes will not update dynamically.
Workaround: Data manager service restart will update the latest FAN speed.
● 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-103891: Duplicate alerts for power supply removal are displayed while enclosure power supply cable is removed.
● JIT-103962: The Storage Management displays the removal and insertion alerts intermittently on EMM for HBA controllers
during physical drive hot-plug-out and hot-plug-in.
● JIT-104973: On enhanced mode, an alert is displayed as A Device is inserted in the enclosure for both Power unit and FAN
inserted into enclosure. The message does not state the specific device inserted.
● JIT-97106: You cannot create a partial RAID50 or a RAID60 virtual disk from IDRAC/HII. When the Foreign configuration
drives are imported on the first RAID50 or RAID60 virtual disk with physical drive that is created on Storage Management.
● JIT-103150: On PowerEdge R940XA with dual backplane, the Storage tree does not display the Enclosure ID intermittently
during insertion or removal of multiple drives.
Workaround: Restart the Data-Manager service to resolve this discrepancy.
● JIT-94890: For fully populated chassis, the Storage Management system takes few minutes to load the storage
components.
● JIT-101739: If an EMM is removed from MX5016s sled, EMM failure or removal alert is not observed on Server
Administrator alerts.
● JIT-109008: Storage Management is enumerating more than one backplane that is not connected to SWRAID controller
under SWRAID controller (S140) on PowerEdge R740xd2 system.
● JIT-98675: On Server Administrator page, a delay is observed on hot-pluggable devices when hot-plugged in or out on HBA
330 MMZ.
● JIT-117535: On the Web Server the Command Line Interface commands does not display the correct exit codes for all
sub-queries 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.
● JIT-109207: Server Administrator displays incorrect capacity information of the drive when formatted with 4096 block size.
● JIT-108887: The alert log displays a message as XML not well-formed after a server restart and post controller mode
change operation intermittently.
Work-around: Clear Logs and restart the service.
