Release Notes

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. If the Auto Recovery feature has been enabled, increase the System
Reset Timer value to at least 120 seconds.
● Using the Internet Explorer browser, if you install Server Administrator on a system that includes an underscore in its host
name, you must use the IP address of the target system in the browser URL to launch Server Administrator, as Host
names with underscores are not supported. For example, (assuming Server Administrator is listening on port 1311): https://
192.168.2.3:1311.
For more information, see the following article on the: Microsoft website http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312461
● DF152755: The Server Administrator GUI does not respond when the alerts log has many events. If the Alert Log contains
several entries and if you try to navigate to another page, the Server Administrator GUI may take about 30 seconds to
display the content.
● DF172125: Power monitoring probes are displayed on certain systems that do not support power monitoring. On certain
systems that do not support power monitoring, Server Administrator reports the two platform event filters related to
a power monitoring as System Power Probe Warning and System Power Probe Failure. These two filters are not
supported on these systems. That is, you can view and configure these filters, but no action is taken.
● DF185770: Primary User Telephone Number does not accept symbols. On Server Administrator, under Asset Information >
System Information > Primary User Telephone Number configuration allows only alphanumeric characters.
● The selection of default option for the front panel LCD in Server Administrator displays the Model Name whereas the default
is a Service Tag on the physical LCD.
● If Server Administrator does not respond or is locked to your selections on the component tree, perform the following steps:
1. Click Preferences. The Preferences page appears.
2. Click Server Administrator. The items on the front page may respond to your click.
● DF277439: Persistence of Configuration and Log File Changes in VMware ESXi On systems running the VMware ESXi
operating system, the file system is ramdisk. Modifications made to the files within the file system are generally not
persistent across reboots, with the exception of designated configuration and log files. These files are updated to the
disk periodically and on system shutdown. If the system is reset without a graceful shutdown before the updated to the
designated configuration are made and before log files are updated to the disk, the changes are lost.
The following is an example of the effect of this behavior:
○ On certain systems, the first time that the thresholds for a probe are changed after Server Administrator is installed; the
current threshold values for that probe are saved as the default threshold values by writing the values to a configuration
file. When Set to Default is performed after the first change of the thresholds, Server Administrator sets the threshold
values to the values that were saved in the configuration file as the default. If the system running the VMware ESXi
operating system is reset without a graceful shutdown before the changes to the configuration file are updated to the
disk, the user- defined thresholds become the default thresholds.
● DF315853: Some Server Administrator CLI commands, function properly only when run from the elevated console window.
It is recommended that you use the elevated console for running the CLI.
● Due to some limitations, you cannot log on simultaneously to multiple browser instances/tabs using SSO login, as only one
session remains active while the other sessions expire.
● DF549057: When an operating system is installed through USC, the BIOS attributes in Server Administrator are displayed as
read-only. You can edit the BIOS attributes 18 hours after the operating system installation.
Workaround: To enable editing of the Server Administrator BIOS attributes, launch Lifecycle Controller while booting.
● BITS040169: In case of Boot/HDD/UEFI sequence, if they are read-only, then toggle buttons (+ and -) and submit button
are not visible. On the BIOS setup page, dependencies may exist between the various attributes for Bios settings. Setting
an attribute value may change the state of the dependent attributes to non-editable or editable. For example, changing the
Boot Mode to UEFI from the Boot Settings page does not allow you to configure the Boot or Hard-Disk Drive Sequence in
the BIOS Boot Settings page. When the page is non-editable, the toggle buttons on the page allows toggling the order of the
boot sequence. However, settings cannot be configured since Apply button will not available to submit the settings.
● BITS050574: On YX1X generation and YX2X generation of PowerEdge servers running the Linux OS, the omreport system
summary command displays RAC Command Interface as 7.1.0. "RAC Command Interface" is a DRAC4 RPM and its version
is 7.1. It is installed as a dependent package for iDRAC6 and iDRAC7 Command Interface packages.
● If a new certificate imported to Server Administrator is not active after restarting the Web server, restore the previous
certificate. To restore the previous certificate, do the following:
1. Stop the Web server.
2. Perform one of the following as applicable:
○ On systems running Windows:
