Release Notes

• If you change the operating system Time Zone to a new time zone, Server Administrator session management does not display
the time in the new time zone specied. Restart Server Administrator to display the accurate time for the time zone in the
Session Management page.
• DF78425: The Server Administrator Auto Recovery feature may execute the congured action before the time interval when the
system is under heavy stress.
The Auto Recovery feature can be set to execute an action (For example, system reboot) to recover a hung system. Since the
Auto Recovery timer is now an application-level timer instead of a kernel-level timer, heavy resource stress on the system may
result in an inaccurate measurement of a short keep alive interval (less than 120 seconds), and the congured action may be
triggered. The issue is more prevalent in systems that have only one CPU with hyper-threading unsupported/disabled or systems
that are subjected to persistent stressful conditions such as, resource depletion and CPU running at 100% usage with
signicantly more threads than normal usage.
The Auto Recovery feature is not enabled by default. If the Auto Recovery feature has been enabled, increase the System Reset
Timer value to at least 120 seconds.
• Using the Internet Explorer browser, if you install Server Administrator on a system that includes an underscore in its host name,
you must use the IP address of the target system in the browser URL to launch Server Administrator, as Host names with
underscores are not supported. For example, (assuming Server Administrator is listening on port 1311): https://192.168.2.3:1311.

• DF152755: The Server Administrator GUI does not respond when the alerts log has many events. If the Alert Log contains
several entries and if you try to navigate to another page, the Server Administrator GUI may take about 30 seconds to display the
content.
• DF172125: Power monitoring probes are displayed on certain systems that do not support power monitoring. On certain systems
that do not support power monitoring, Server Administrator reports the two platform event lters related to a power monitoring
as System Power Probe Warning and System Power Probe Failure. These two lters are not supported on these systems.
That is, you can view and congure these lters, but no action is taken.
• DF185770: Primary User Telephone Number does not accept symbols. On Server Administrator, under Asset Information →
System Information → Primary User Telephone Number conguration allows only alphanumeric characters.
• The selection of default option for the front panel LCD in Server Administrator displays the Model Name whereas the default is a
Service Tag on the physical LCD.
• If Server Administrator does not respond or is locked to your selections on the component tree, perform the following steps:
a. Click Preferences. The Preferences page appears.
b. Click Server Administrator. The items on the front page may respond to your click.
• DF277439: Persistence of Conguration and Log File Changes in VMware ESXi On systems running the VMware ESXi operating
system, the le system is ramdisk. Modications made to the les within the le system are generally not persistent across
reboots, with the exception of designated conguration and log les. These les are updated to the disk periodically and on
system shutdown. If the system is reset without a graceful shutdown before the updated to the designated conguration are
made and before log les are updated to the disk, the changes are lost.
The following is an example of the eect of this behavior:
– On certain systems, the rst time that the thresholds for a probe are changed after Server Administrator is installed; the
current threshold values for that probe are saved as the default threshold values by writing the values to a conguration le.
When Set to Default is performed after the rst change of the thresholds, Server Administrator sets the threshold values to
the values that were saved in the conguration le as the default. If the system running the VMware ESXi operating system
is reset without a graceful shutdown before the changes to the conguration le are updated to the disk, the user- dened
thresholds become the default thresholds.
• DF315853: Some Server Administrator CLI commands, function properly only when run from the elevated console window. It is
recommended that you use the elevated console for running the CLI.
• Due to some limitations, you cannot log on simultaneously to multiple browser instances/tabs using SSO login, as only one
session remains active while the other sessions expire.
• DF489034: Intel TXT conguration fails due to Virtualization technology dependency.
• If the current Virtualization Technology attribute setting is Disabled (Virtualization Technology is part of the Processor Settings
group on the BIOS setup page); the Intel TXT attribute conguration fails on the Server Administrator user interface (System →
Main System Chassis → BIOS → Setup → System Security). To resolve this issue, congure Virtualization technology setting
to Enabled and recongure the Intel TXT attribute, if it is congurable.
