1. Srvadmin-racadm4.

2. Srvadmin-racadm5.

• Due to fluctuations in the watchdog timer, the Last Crash Screen may not be captured when the Automatic System Recovery is set

to a value of less than 30 seconds. To ensure the correct functioning of the Last Crash Screen feature, set the System Reset Timer

to at least 30 seconds.

• DF132894: The cfgDNSServer1 and cfgDNSServer2 properties of group cfgLanNetworking may be set to identical values while

swapping addresses. Some performance may be lost temporarily during the swapping. The cfgLanNetworking group is configured

using theracadm config command.

• The remote access controller uses FTP protocol to perform some of the Server Administrator commands. If a firewall is installed in the

system, it may cause these commands to fail.

The following Server Administrator CLI commands use FTP protocol to communicate with the RAC:

• omconfig rac uploadcert

• omconfig rac generatecert

The following racadm commands use FTP protocol to communicate with the RAC:

• racadm sslcertupload

• racadm sslcsrgen

• racadm fwupdate

• If the RAC configuration is reset to factory defaults using the racadm racresetcfg command, the RAC configuration tab in

Server Administrator does not reflect the reset configuration settings until the system reboots. Also, the RAC configuration page in

Server Administrator cannot be used to make any configuration changes until the system reboots.

• The RAC does not support local RAC user IDs with special characters. When adding a local RAC user, use only alphanumeric

characters for the user name.

• While the RAC is being reset, the Instrumentation Service cannot read sensor data for certain systems. As a result, the voltage,

temperature, and other probes may not be visible on the Server Administrator home page until the RAC has completed resetting.

• The RAC may not send traps when your system is locked up. To enable traps to be sent when the system is locked, configure the

watchdog timer using the Server Administrator GUI. On the GUI, click the "Properties" tab and ensure that Auto Recovery is selected.

The default value of theAction On Hung Operating System Detection setting is None.None indicates that detection will not be

performed.

• RAC firmware 2.0 and later does not support passwords with special characters (non- alphanumeric) only for RAC user IDs logging in

using the Web-based interface (with Local RAC Authentication). You cannot log on to RAC, if you created RAC user IDs using

previous versions of the firmware or using Server Administrator that is running version 2.0 firmware on the managed system.

Use one of these methods to correct this issue:

• Change your passwords before updating the firmware.

• Use the following CLI command to change the password: omconfig rac users username=xx userpassword=yy where xx is the

original user ID and yy is the new password.

• Change the password through Server Administrator using the User tab. Make sure that the check box to change the password is

checked. Enter a new password, and then enter it again to validate the change.

• Use the racadm utility to change the password: racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i <usr_index>

<new_pwd> where <usr_index> is the index of the user database entry to be modified and <new_pwd> is the new password.

• Depending on your network and proxy configurations and whether you are using Mozilla browser, you may need to enter the exact IP

address of the RAC controller, you are trying to access in the No Proxy for field of your browser.

Perform the following steps:

1. Open your Mozilla browser.

2. Click Edit.

3. Click Preferences.

4. Click Advanced in the left sidebar.

5. Click Proxies in the left sidebar.

6. Enter the RAC IP address in the No Proxy for: field.

7. Click OK and then close the browser.

• To view the RAC Web-based interface when using Mozilla 1.6, you must configure your cookie settings to Enable all cookies.

• To enable all cookies, go to the menu options and click Edit > Preferences > Privacy & Security > Cookies, and then select Enable

all cookies. If you do not perform these steps, you cannot log on to the Web interface and a message appears indicating that your

username and password are incorrect.

• DF384362: Redundancy Status displays as Not Applicable in ESXi even when NICs are teamed. On VMware ESXi systems, NIC

teaming status may not display up in the Server Administrator network section. This is an expected behavior due to the operating

system limitation and has no functional impact to the system.
