NOTE: For the list of supported operating systems and Dell servers, see the Dell EMC OpenManage Software Support
Matrix in the required version of OpenManage Software at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
NOTE: For more information about any features, see the Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator online Help.
NOTE: From 9.3.0, the RPM packages have been signed with Dell SHA-512 signature key. If using non interactive or
silent method of installation, to verify the authenticity, you must download the key from the following location: https://
linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/public_gpg3.key, and then import the key to each host with --import <key file>
before installing or upgrading to the current version of Server Administrator. Once the key is imported, you are not required
to import the key every time while installing, or upgrading to the current version of Server Administrator.
Important Notes
Notes for Server Administrator
On YX2X generation or later PowerEdge server with iDRAC7 1.30.30 and later versions, you can set the Platform Event
Destination as IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN.
User privileges
The iDRAC user privileges and attributes have changed. Therefore, you will see a difference in Server Administrator and iDRAC
user privileges and attributes. For more information on IDRAC user privileges and attributes, see latest iDRAC user guide.
Notes for Instrumentation Service
● On YX1X generation or later PowerEdge server, if conflicting BIOS settings exist while configuring BIOS setup options
through Server Administrator, the update attempt may fail at system reboot and none of the BIOS setup options may be
updated.
● For example, when you configure Embedded SATA Controller to RAID and Boot Mode to UEFI simultaneously (UEFI does not
support RAID option), the conflict prevents the BIOS configuration updates (at system reboot).
● On certain systems, user-defined thresholds set under Server Administrator become the default thresholds after uninstalling
Server Administrator.
● If you change the threshold value of a probe on certain systems, running Server Administrator, and then uninstall Server
Administrator, the changed threshold value becomes the default threshold value.
● While modifying the warning threshold settings, the values are stored in the firmware as discrete integer values and scaled
for display. If the modified value is not a discrete integer, it may change when saved.
● Fan redundancy can have the following states:
○ Fully Redundant — The sensors display this status if all the fans in the system are present and are in a non-failed state.
○ Redundancy Lost — The sensors display this status whenever any system fan fails or is removed from the chassis.
● 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).
