Release Notes

running a Linux operating system may fail to update the Dell Remote
Access Controller (DRAC) package "srvadmin-racsvc-4.3.0-785" when
attempted from the RPM command-line. To overcome this issue, stop
the service(s) first, and then retry the upgrade:
srvadmin-services.sh stop
rpm -Uhv srvadmin-racsvc-*.rpm

* If the default install location of Server Administrator has changed
during installation, some of the directories in which Server
Administrator is installed will not be deleted during its removal.
This issue is related to the default behavior of the RPM engine.
For example, if installed with the prefix
"--prefix/opt/dell2/srvadmin2/abc/," the RPM will only delete the
last directory ("abc") and the remaining directories
("/opt/dell2/srvadmin2") are left undeleted.
* When using the command "rpm -e 'rpm -qa | grep srvadmin'" to
remove Dell OpenManage systems management software, some RPM
utility versions appear not to perform a full dependency
check before removal. This can result in some installed RPMs not
being removed in the proper order. A message such as the following
may be displayed:
"WARNING: srvadmin-rac3-components configuration not performed;
'/etc/omreg.cfg' is missing or damaged."
The solution is to use the Dell OpenManage uninstall script,
"srvadmin-uninstall.sh," that is provided on the CD.

* Dell OpenManage Server Assistant adds a script to the root user's
".bash_profile" file that prompts for the installation of Dell
OpenManage systems management software. This script may interfere
with remote client applications that authenticate using the root
user account on the system, but do not have a means to handle user
prompts. To remedy this limitation, edit the ".bash_profile" file
and comment out the line: "[ ${SHLVL}...."

* There may be problems uninstalling Server Administrator after an
unsuccessful upgrade during a manual RPM upgrade. You will
see the following error message:
"error: %preun(srvadmin-NAME-X.Y.Z-N.i386) scriptlet failed, exit
status 1"
In this case, "NAME" is a feature name, for example "omacore."
"X.Y.Z-N" is the version and build number of the feature.
Some possible solutions to rectify this problem:
