Fixes The following problems were reported in earlier releases of Server Administrator and have been corrected in this release: • BITS032251: OME show "The task was cancelled for the target device" with stopped execution state during OMSAPush • BITS040212: Migrated DF489665 Max Config: OM on ESXi 4.
• BITS083254: OMSA deploy fails on SLES10 SP4 and SLES11 system • BITS083480: Attempt to install OMSA using MSP task pass when target does not have OMSA installed • BITS083854: Disk Cache Policy setting in create VD via advanced wizard coming Enabled by default for SAS Drives BITS088267: OM 7.2 displays HDD manufacture name instead of Dell immediately after startup Important Notes Notes for Server Administrator On 12G systems with iDRAC7 1.30.
• CMC USB ports attached with blade is not enumerated by Server Administrator. • Except for AC power cord traps, SNMP traps for server instrumentation are not generated when the state of the device sensor changes from unknown to normal. While migrating the chassis of a PowerEdge M520, M620, or M820 server running Windows operating system from M1000e to VRTX chassis, reboot the server after the new drivers are detected and installed.
• BITS072069: On ESX/ESXi Operating Systems, Server Administrator configuration changes are not persisted after an unclean shutdown. o If the server abruptly reboots, configuration changes to Server Administrator Preferences are not retained on VMware ESX or ESXi operating systems. Once an hour, VMware runs a scheduled backup to update any configuration changes to the installed applications (VIBs). For more information, refer to the Knowledge Base article at - http://Kb.vmware.
• After a "Reset to Defaults" operation of the Integrated Remote Access Controller, the first user configuration operation fails if it is a single-user configuration item (such as enabling or disabling a user or changing user name). Always change a combination of two-user configuration items (such as enabling or disabling a user and changing user name) concurrently during your first configuration operation.
• All unsecured HTTP requests to Server Administrator receive an invalid response. Server Administrator runs only one instance of the Web server, which is secure. Make all connections through https:// : . Any "http://: " request for connection with the server receives an invalid response. • If the browser used with Server Administrator does not display a page or perform an action, make sure that the browser is in online mode.
Administrator reports the two platform event filters related to power monitoring as "System Power Probe Warning" and "System Power Probe Failure". These two filters are not supported on these systems. That is, you can view and configure these filters, 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 configuration allows only alphanumeric characters.
• BITS04016: In case of Boot/HDD/UEFI sequence, if they are read-only, then toggle buttons (+ and -) and submit button are not visible. On BIOS setup page, dependencies may exist between the various attributes for Bios settings. Setting an attribute value may change the state of the dependent attributes to non-editable or editable. For example, changing the Boot Mode to UEFI from the Boot Settings page does not allow you to configure the Boot or Hard-Disk Drive Sequence in the BIOS Boot Settings page.
• The DSM Server Administrator Connection Service may hang on system startup if both Oracle and VERITAS Backup Exec are installed on the system. To manually start the DSM Server Administrator Connection Service on a system running Windows, click "Start-> Programs-> Administrative Tools-> Service", right-click "DSM Server Administrator Connections Services" and select "Start".
o • "http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317541" There are two options to avoid these errors from being written to the Event log: o Uninstall the "Update Root certificates" component as described in the first knowledge base article mentioned above. NOTE: This procedure may affect other programs as discussed in the article. o Install the Server Administrator certificate as a trusted certificate.
the Service Control Manager logs the following message to the System log: "The DSM Server Administrator Data Manager Service is marked as an interactive service.

3. Configure NetDMA to disable state by running following command: netsh int tcp set global NetDMA=disabled Limitations Known Limitations and Workarounds for Storage Management Service • With Chinese or Japanese language browser settings, using the Storage Management Service Advanced Create VDisk Wizard may occasionally result in text overflowing to the bottom of the side-by-side blue text boxes. • View slot occupancy report shows 4 HDD slots on backplanes with just two HDD slots for any server.
• Hot plug of enclosures takes time to enumerate the enclosure and its components. During this time, there will be a delay in the response time of tasks, such as displaying the physical disks on the physical disk page and in the virtual disk selection page. • All virtual disks from the SAS/iR controller display the name "IR Virtual Disk" on the "Preview" page. On successful import, another name is assigned to these virtual disks and the "IR Virtual Disk" name is not displayed on the "Preview" page.
• When issuing certain "omconfig storage" CLI commands with "Power User" privileges, the "Error! User has insufficient privileges to run command: omconfig" message may be displayed. You must be logged on as an Administrator to perform these actions. • Using the Storage Management Service "Advanced Create VDisk Wizard" may occasionally result in a vertical scrollbar of less than normal width. If this occurs, resizing the Server Administrator window causes the vertical scrollbar to be redrawn correctly.
