Release Notes
○ Memory Testing: Server Administrator does not support this feature, but F2 BIOS supports this feature.
○ SRIOV option: Server Administrator does not display this information, but F2 BIOS displays this feature.
● Due to non-availability of resources, inventory collector may terminate unexpectedly and restart. If this occurs, the folder
C:\Temp\invcol may be left as an artifact. The presence of this folder does not affect the functionality of the inventory
collection. The folder can be deleted if required.
● After installing Server Administrator from the command prompt, typing an omreport or mconfig command from the same
prompt can cause an error. Open a new command prompt window and type commands.
● If the command log page in the Server Administrator GUI displays an error message indicating that the XML is malformed,
you must clear the command log from the CLI using the omconfig system cmdlog action=clear command
● After a Reset to Defaults operation of the Integrated Remote Access Controller, the first user configuration, operation fails
if it is a single-user configuration item (such as enabling or disabling a user or changing user name). Always change a
combination of two-user configuration items (such as enabling or disabling a user and changing user name) concurrently
during your first configuration operation.
● While typing the command omreport system version -outc <filename>, ensure that you specify an absolute path name
for the output file; else, the output file is empty. For example, c:\out.txt.
● Typing omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog -fmt tbl command on the CLI can result in XML parsing errors if the
size of the log is large. Use the GUI or the omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog CLI command to view the contents
of the log.
● For complex omconfig CLI commands that contain multiple set commands in one command line, the CLI may report a
success status for the command even if a part of the command failed. To avoid this issue, run only one command per
command line. The current settings can be confirmed by performing the corresponding omreport command.
● 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.
