USER NOTES FOR SUPPORTED RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX,

SUSE LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER AND VMWARE ESX OPERATING SYSTEMS

================================================================================

* The OpenIPMI device driver used by Server Administrator will conflict

with the Intel IMB device driver. You must uninstall the IMB driver

before installing Server Administrator.

* When Dell OpenManage Server Administrator is installed on a system,

dependency issues related to RPMs may occur. To resolve these issues,

install the missing RPMs from SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS.

If the RPMs are not available in this directory, install these from

the operating system media. (341495)

* The USB arbitration service of VMWare ESX 4.1 makes the USB devices

invisible to the Hypervisor. So, when DUPs or the Inventory Collector

runs on the MN, the partitions exposed as USB devices are not shown,

and it reaches the timeout after 15 to 20 minutes. This timeout occurs

in the following cases:

When you start "DSM SA Shared Service" on the VMware ESX 4.1 managed node,

it runs the Inventory Collector. While the USB arbitration service is

running, you must wait for 15 to 20 minutes for the Inventory collector to

complete the execution before attempting to stop this service, or uninstall

Server Administrator.

When you manually run the Inventory Collector (invcol) on the VMware ESX 4.1

managed node while the USB arbitration service is running, you must wait for

15 to 20 minutes before the operations end. The invcol output file has

the following:

<Message> Inventory Failure: Partition Failure - Attach

partition has failed</Message>

</SPStatus><SPStatus result="false" module="MaserIE -i">

<Message>Invalid inventory results.</Message>

</SPStatus><SPStatus result="false">

To fix the issue, stop the USB arbitration service and run the DUPs,

or Inventory Collector.

Do the following to stop the USB arbitration service:

1. Use ps aux | grep usb to find out if the USB arbitration service

is running.

2. To stop the USB arbitration service from starting up at bootup,

use chkconfig usbarbitrator off.

3. Reboot the server after stopping the usbarbitrator to allow the

DUPs and/or the Inventory collector to run.

If you require the usbarbitor, enable it manually. To enable the usbarbitrator,
