Intermittent incorrect fan probe
readings of zero RPMs cause faulty
alerts to be generated. Invalid fan
probe readings also compromise the
usability of Server Agent.
Server Agent 4.2.1 prevents false alerts for fan
probes based on incorrect readings of fan RPM
values. This update also addresses usability
issues caused by these incorrect fan RPM values.
The incorrect fan RPM readings originate on
PowerEdge systems that report systems
management information to the management
console using Server Agent version 4.0.
Seven-character service tags display
incorrectly.
Formerly, certain combinations of characters
and numbers in the seven-character service tag
either did not display correctly or did not
display at all. Server Agent 4.2.1 displays service
tags correctly.
False power supply fan readings.
Server Agent reports high power
supply fan RPM readings. The
readings exceed the upper failure
threshold and are reported as
failures.
Server Agent 4.2.1 corrects the problem of false
fan probe alerts.
