Release Notes

Issues for Server Administrator running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating Systems
• When starting Server Administrator from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux console, kernel log messages may
appear. To avoid these messages, perform the following steps:
Edit the "/etc/sysconfig/syslog" file and modify KLOGD_OPTIONS to KLOGD_OPTIONS="-c 4".
Restart "syslog" by executing "/etc/init.d/syslog restart".
• When using the Mozilla browser on Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems, the font and type size on the
Server Administrator global navigation bar appear different from the default font and type size that application
uses.
• For systems running a supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, kernel driver messages such as
"AAC_ChardevOpen" may be displayed in the console at the login prompt. These messages are displayed in
the console when the driver initialization is delayed by the installation of Server Administrator services and can
be ignored.
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. The Active Directory authentication feature
replaces the "local operating system authentication" feature in this version of firmware.
Due to this change, the following commands return errors:
"racadm localauthenable"
"omconfig rac authentication"
• Due to fluctuations in the watchdog timer, the "Last Crash Screen" may not be captured
when the Automatic System Recovery is set to a value of less than 30 seconds. To ensure
correct functioning of the "Last Crash Screen" feature, set the System Reset Timer to at
least 30 seconds.
• DF132894: The cfgDNSServer1 and cfgDNSServer2 properties of group cfgLanNetworking
may be set to identical values while swapping addresses. Some performance may be lost
temporarily during the swapping. The cfgLanNetworking group is configured using the
"racadm config" command.
• The remote access controller uses FTP protocol to perform some of the Server
Administrator commands. If a firewall is installed in the system, it may cause these
commands to fail.
The following Server Administrator CLI commands use FTP protocol to communicate with
the RAC:
o "omconfig rac uploadcert"
o "omconfig rac generatecert"
The following racadm commands use FTP protocol to communicate with the RAC:
o "racadm sslcertupload"
o "racadm sslcsrgen"
o "racadm fwupdate"
• If the RAC configuration is reset to factory defaults using the "racadm racresetcfg"
command, the RAC configuration tab in Server Administrator does not reflect the reset
configuration settings until the system reboots. Also, the RAC configuration page in Server
Administrator cannot be used to make any configuration changes until the system
reboots.
