Release Notes

● 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. Restart syslog by executing /etc/init.d/syslog restart.
● When using the Mozilla Firefox web browser on Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems, the font and type size on the
Server Administrator global navigation bar appear different from the default font and type size that application uses.
● For systems running a supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, kernel driver messages such as
AAC_ChardevOpen may be displayed in the console at the login prompt. These messages are displayed in the console
when the driver initialization is delayed by the installation of Server Administrator services and can be ignored.
● For systems running a supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system with SELinux in enforcing mode and Server
Administrator's SELinux policy installed, 'Execute application' alert actions might not work as intended due to restrictions by
SELinux in enforcing mode. This is valid only for the users who have opted for Remote Enablement.
Issues of Server Administrator on all Linux Operating Systems
● DF275424 and DF332775: Domain users unable to login to Windows MN from Linux Web Server.
○ Negotiate authentication is not supported while remotely managing a Windows-based managed node from a Linux-based
Server Administrator Web server. If you run the Server Administrator Web server on a Linux based operating system and
try to manage a remote Windows managed system as a domain user, a login failed message is displayed.
○ You can manage a Windows/Linux- based managed system remotely from a Windows-based Server Administrator Web
server.
● BITS119710: On Server Administrator, you cannot use Windows domain user credentials to manage a system running Linux.
If you try to do, a login failed message is displayed.
● "systemd-udevd[XXXX]: Process '/bin/sh -c '[ -x /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/dataeng.hotplug ] && /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/
dataeng.hotplug pci'' failed with exit code 1.
"systemd-udevd[XXXX]: Process '/bin/sh -c '[ -x /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/dataeng.hotplug ] && /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/
dataeng.hotplug usb'' failed with exit code 1.
Issues of Server Administrator on All Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
● The DSM Server Administrator Connection Service may hang on system startup if both Oracle and VERITAS Backup
Exec are installed on the system. To manually start the DSM Server Administrator Connection Service on a system
running Windows, click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Service, right-click DSM Server Administrator
Connections Services and select Start.
● You may not have appropriate privileges on the Server Administrator GUI if you:
○ Belong to an Active Directory group that is part of another group.
○ Try to launch Server Administrator using the desktop icon when single sign- on is enabled.
● Broadcom architecture has a split driver implementation - evbdx.sys and bxnd60x.sys.
○ evbdx.sys is the Virtual Bus Driver (VBD); also called the Base Driver
○ bxnd60x.sys is the driver for the Broadcom NDIS device.
Microsoft Device Manager reports both the drivers, but Server Administrator displays only the driver details specific to the
VBD device.
● BITS080169: Documentation for Power Supply alerts mentions only AC power supply, but the alerts are valid for both AC
and DC power supplies.
● BITS054513: On a system running Windows, while running CLI commands using telnet from a system running Linux, the
telnet session may terminate if the amount of data being transferred is huge.
Workaround: Redirect the CLI output to a text file and use the type command to view the output
● DF551365: Server Administrator does not display the IP Address for Network Adapters that are used for virtual machines
