Release Notes

* Dell Systems Build and Update Utility 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 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:
1. Attempt to uninstall again. For example, use the following
command:
rpm -e srvadmin-NAME-X.Y.Z-N.i386
2. Delete the "upgrade.relocation=bad" line if present in the
"/etc/omreg.cfg" file and attempt to uninstall again.

* Problems may arise while upgrading Server Administrator in
some circumstances when the upgrade is attempted and not completely
successful. This could happen, for instance, when a user is doing a
manual RPM update on a system requiring an updated OpenIPMI driver
and that driver is not installed. Some features depending on that
driver will not install, which is correct. However, older
installed features that should have been uninstalled, may not be
uninstalled. This leads to mixed versions of Server
Administrator being installed on a system. This is not a viable
installation. This is due to limitations in some versions of the RPM
utility.
During the upgrade, the following messages may be displayed:
"srvadmin-omhip:
The required dependency key, "hapi.omilcore.version", in the
"/etc/omreg.cfg" file is not present."
"Installation aborted."
"error: %pre(srvadmin-omhip-5.2.0-200.i386) scriptlet failed, exit
status 1"
