On 12G systems with iDRAC7 1.30.30 and later, you can set Platform Event Destination as IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN Storage Management Service: PCIe SSD support for ESXi 5.1 U1 Remaining Rated Write Endurance status for SAS and SATA SSD attached to a PERC8 Fluid Cache for DAS support on Red Hat Enterprise Linux6 .
On certain systems, user-defined thresholds set under Server Administrator become the default thresholds after uninstalling Server Administrator. If you change the threshold value of a probe on certain systems, running Server Administrator, and then uninstall Server Administrator, the changed threshold value becomes the default threshold value. While modifying the warning threshold settings, the values are stored in the firmware as discrete integer values and scaled for display.
Known Issues This section provides information on open issues and resolutions with this release of Server Administrator. Issues for Server Administrator running on VMware ESX Operating Systems DF374857: Connection service has to be restarted for an Active Directory user login. After adding a VMware ESX 4.1 operating system to the Active Directory domain, an Active Directory user must do the following: o To log on to Server Administrator using the VMware ESX 4.
o Embedded Video Controller: Server Administrator provides options to enable or disable, but in F2 bios the option is greyed out. o TPM Security: Server Administrator does not allow to change the settings, but F2 bios allows to change the settings. o System Profile State: Server Administrator does not allow to make changes, but F2 bios allows to make the changes. o Memory Testing: Server Administrator does not support this feature, but F2 bios supports this feature.
"keystore.db" file, use both the basic operating system commands and the Server Administrator Command Line Instrumentation (CLI). Perform the following steps from your operating system command line: o Type: omconfig system webserver action=stop o Locate the "keystore.db.bak" file. The default path is "C:\program files\dell\SysMgt\apache-tomcat\conf". o Copy "keystore.db.bak" to "keystore.db".
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 configured 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 significantly more threads than normal usage.
DF315853: Some Server Administrator CLI commands functions 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.
o For 64-bit OS 3. Rename the keystore.db.bak at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib/openmanage/apachetomcat/conf to keystore.db o Delete the keystore.db file at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apachetomcat/conf o Rename the keystore.db.bak at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apache-tomcat/conf to keystore.db Start the Web server. BITS078118: On 12G systems with specific versions of iDRAC, you cannot set the platform event alert actions (reboot, shut down, and so on) through Server Administrator.

When Server Administrator is installed on Microsoft Windows Server 2008, the DSM Server Administrator Data Manager Service is installed as a non-interactive service, which means that it is configured for not interacting with the desktop directly. If an interactive application is executed for an Alert Action in this situation, the application is suspended awaiting input from the user, but the application interface or prompt is not visible to the user.
Issues for Remote Access NOTE: The Remote Access Service is supported on 11G systems only. The following subsections list the currently known issues regarding implementation and operation of your RAC and the Remote Access Service in Server Administrator. Issues for all Operating Systems Server Administrator user interface and commands related to "local authentication enable" are not applicable for RAC firmware 3.20.
previous versions of the firmware or using Server Administrator that is running version 2.0 firmware on the managed system. Use one of these methods to correct this issue: o Change your passwords before updating the firmware. o Use the following CLI command to change the password: "omconfig rac users username=xx userpassword=yy" where "xx" is the original user ID and "yy" is the new password. o Change the password through Server Administrator using the "User" tab.
known issue and Microsoft has provided an article and fix. The Knowledge Base article number is KB933006 and the fix is provided as security update 933566 (MS07033):Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer.

NOTE: Use this command only if you have intentionally removed the multipath connection while rebooting the system. In the VMware ESX 4.x and ESX 5.
DF152362: Storage Management may not display controllers installed with the Service and Diagnostics utility. Description: Storage Management may not recognize devices that are installed after Storage Management is already running.
