Release Notes

● 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. To view the Server Administrator pages in English, go to your browser language preference
page and change the language to English.
● Log files saved from Server Administrator are saved in zip format. It is recommended that you open this zip file using WinZip.
Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP embedded Compressed (zipped) Folder utility is not recommended.
● After configuring BIOS settings on certain systems, a second reboot may be required for the Server Administrator to display
the updated BIOS settings properly.
● If you import an invalid root certificate into Server Administrator, using Preferences > General Settings > Web Server >
X.509 Certificate, and try to log on to the application after restarting the Web server, a blank page is displayed. To fix this
issue, restore your original keystore.db file before importing a valid root certificate. To restore the keystore.db file,
use both the basic operating system commands and the Server Administrator Command Line Instrumentation (CLI).
Perform the following steps from your operating system command line:
1. Type: omconfig system webserver action=stop
2. Locate the keystore.db.bak file. The default path is C:\program files\dell\SysMgt\apache-
tomcat\conf.
3. Copy keystore.db.bak to keystore.dbkeystore.db.
4. Type: omconfig system webserver action=start
● A temperature drop below a minimum failure threshold does not cause a system reset even if this alert action is set.
● Clicking the Back and Refresh buttons on the browser may not display the correct page regarding the Server Administrator
component tree, tabs, tab menus, or help, as Server Administrator has been designed with limited functionality to reduce
overhead. Full feature capabilities of the Web browser such as Back, Refresh, and Open in New Window may not be
supported.
● Selecting the boot sequence under the BIOS Setup tab does not re-enable boot devices that have been disabled in the
System Setup Program, earlier.
● The links on the Server Administrator home page may not work after repeated random clicking. To resolve this issue, refresh
the browser by pressing <F5> or click the browser Refresh button.
● All unsecured HTTP requests to Server Administrator receive an invalid response. Server Administrator runs only one
instance of the Web server, which is secure. Make all connections through https://<ip address>: <port number>. Any
http://<ip address>: <port number> request for connection with the server receives an invalid response.
● If the web browser used with Server Administrator does not display a page or perform an action, make sure that the browser
is in online mode. To go online, perform the following:
○ In Internet Explorer, on the menu bar, click File and clear the Work Offline option. When Work Offline is selected, a
check mark is displayed to the left of the option on the File menu.
● If Internet Explorer prompts you to Work Offline, Connect, or Try Again, always select Connect or Try Again. Do not
select Work Offline.
● In Internet Explorer, on the menu bar, click File and clear the Work Offline option. When Work Offline is selected, a check
mark is displayed to the left of the option on the File menu.
● If Internet Explorer prompts you to Work Offline, Connect, or Try Again, always select Connect or Try Again. Do not
select Work Offline.
● While setting dates in the Asset Information section of the Server Administrator home page, the current time is appended
to the date. While setting dates with the CLI, the appended time is noon.
● On some systems, temperature probe values and settings are only supported for whole degrees, not tenths of a degree.
On those systems, setting a fractional value for the minimum warning temperature threshold results in the set value being
rounded off to the next whole number value. This behavior may cause the minimum warning threshold to have the same
value as the minimum failure threshold.
● If you close the browser using the Close button on the browser or log off from the operating system, the Server
Administrator session is not terminated. This session is listed in the Session Management page until the session time out
occurs, or DSM SA connection service is restarted, or the operating system is rebooted.
● If you change the operating system Time Zone to a new time zone, Server Administrator session management does not
display the time in the new time zone specified. Restart Server Administrator to display the accurate time for the time zone
in the Session Management page.
● DF78425: The Server Administrator Auto Recovery feature may execute the configured action before the time interval when
the system is under heavy stress.
The Auto Recovery feature can be set to execute an action (For example, system reboot) to recover a hung system. Since
the Auto Recovery timer is now an application-level timer instead of a kernel-level timer, heavy resource stress on the
