Release Notes

During an OS upgrade, some of the srvadmin packages may get removed. After an operating system
upgrade, the Server Administrator needs to be reinstalled since the srvadmin packages installed may
not be applicable for the upgraded operating system.
For example, after an upgrade from SLES 10 to SLES 11, Server Administrator needs to be
reinstalled as the SLES 10 srvadmin packages may not work with SLES 11.
Versions Affected: 6.5 and earlier
• Existing connection service lost after SLES11 upgrade. (388955)
Dell OpenManage version 6.x for Linux will no longer have a functional Connection Service web
GUI after upgrading SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 to Service Pack 1. Also, if WS-MAN service
for OMSA were installed, it will no longer function.
To prevent this:
1.
Before upgrading SLES 11 operating system, uninstall the OpenSource packages like
OpenWSMAN, SFCB, SFCC and LibCmpiCppImpl packages manually with --nodeps option.
2.
Upgrade the SLES11 operating system to Service Pack 1.
If the system is already in problematic state after an upgrade to Service Pack 1, then, reinstall the
following Server Administrator packages from the OpenManage install media:
rpm -Uhv srvadmin-iws-*.sles11.rpm --nodeps
rpm -Uhv srvadmin-itunnelprocider-*.sles11.rpm --nodeps
Versions Affected: 6.5 to 6.0
• DRAC4 service failure message after YUM install. (391720)
RAC4 service startup shows failed to probe DRAC4 when OpenManage installation is performed
using YUM or if all the RAC rpms are installed from the OpenManage DVD. Essentially this error
message is observed on a system (9G, 10G, or 11G server) that does not have a RAC4 but RAC4
rpms are installed. There is no functionality impact.
Message observed is:
DRAC4 probe: DRAC4 pci device not found [FAILED]
Versions Affected: 6.5 and earlier
• Linux install script cannot be run from Virtual Media.
The
srvadmin-services.sh script cannot be run from Virtual Media.
Run this script from the local file system after un-mounting the virtual media. This avoids
input/output errors that you may otherwise encounter while using Virtual Media.
Versions Affected: 6.5 and earlier
• YUM uninstall leaves services running. (410584)
If you are using methods other than the
srvadmin-uninstall.sh command to uninstall
OpenManage rpm, the OpenManage service processes may may still continue to run.
To prevent this, run the
srvadmin-services stop command to stop the OpenManage services
and then remove the OpenManage rpms.
Versions Affected: 6.5 and earlier
