The recommended screen resolution is at least 1024 x 768 Software Requirements • Supported operating system and web browser. • TCP/IP connection on the managed system and the remote system to facilitate remote system management. • Supported systems management protocol standard.
NOTE: This feature is not available on any VMware vSphere operating system versions. • Added new functionalities in Storage Management: – Support for 2.5-inch 4KB SATA drives on PERC 9 family of hardware controllers. – Support for rear SATA on PowerEdge R730xd connected to software RAID S130 controller. – Support for PMC SAS Expander on PowerEdge R730. – Support for Samsung PM1725 NVMe device.
operating system from M1000e to VRTX chassis, reboot the server after the new drivers are detected and installed. If not, the DSM SA Data Manager service crashes on startup and OMSA fails. (BITS125071) Notes for Storage Management Service Detailed information on the Storage Management Service is available in the Storage Management Service online help.
Administrator services are started after the installation or when Server Administrator services are started, by default after a system restart. However, this issue is observed only on few servers. Solution: Apply the latest Z-stream kernel patch on the system. The issue is resolved by the kernel rpm kernel-3.10.0-123.8.1.el7.x86_64.rpm. Issues of Server Administrator on all Linux Operating Systems • DF275424 and DF332775: Domain users unable to login to Windows MN from Linux Web Server.
d. Add the server URL to Trusted sites under Tools → Internet Options → Security → Trusted sites → Sites. • BITS216267: Upgrading Server Administrator from 8.1 to 8.2 and then restarting DSM Connection Service after changing any server preference values would display a crash message in Windows Event Viewer's application log. This crash message is a false message and can be ignored.
Alert Actions for an event, you can specify the action to execute an application. For interactive applications to be executed properly for an Alert Action, the DSM Server Administrator Data Manager Service must be configured as an interactive service. Examples of interactive applications comprise applications with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or that prompt users for input in some way, such as the pause command in a batch file.
• 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.
• On some systems, temperature probe values and settings are only supported for whole degrees, not tenths of a degree. On those systems, setting a fractional value for the minimum warning temperature threshold results in the set value being rounded off to the next whole number value. This behavior may cause the minimum warning threshold to have the same value as the minimum failure threshold.
• 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 configuration fails due to Virtualization technology dependency.
• BITS265922 - The DSM SA Connection will fail to start if Java Runtime Engine 1.8.0 or newer is installed and specified as the “System JRE” in Preferences of the Server Administrator web GUI. OMSA 8.3 and older is currently not compatible with Java 1.8 or newer.
– Change your passwords before updating the firmware. – 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. – Change the password through Server Administrator using the User tab. Make sure that the check box to change the password is checked. Enter a new password, and then enter it again to validate the change.
Vendor: iDRAC Model: SECUPD Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Rev: 0329 • DF531509: The setup and/or system password configuration from the Server Administrator GUI or CLI is successful, but the password is displayed as blank instead of asterisk (*) on the F2 BIOS page. • DF532055: From Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, when an administrator manages Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 (64-bit) or 5.7 (32 and 64-bit) operating systems, Server Administrator reports connection error intermittently.
Server Administrator 8.4.0 Release Notes The following section describes the issues and workaround in Server Administrator Storage Management. Known Issues and Workarounds for Storage Management Service • With Chinese or Japanese language browser settings, using the Storage Management Service Advanced Create Virtual Disk Wizard may occasionally result in text overflowing to the bottom of the side-by-side blue text boxes.
Solution: If the "Import Foreign Configuration" task is unable to import an inconsistent virtual disk, then the physical disks that belong to the virtual disk continue to display a "Foreign" state after the "Import Foreign Configuration" task completes. In this case, repeat the "Import Foreign Configuration" task until one of the following occurs: – There are no longer any physical disks in Foreign state after the Import Foreign Configuration task completes.
• BITS128355: The slot occupancy report displays single backplane ID and backplane name in the Storage Management GUI and CLI. The physical disk slot occupancy report for PCIe Subsystem displays NVMe devices present in two different PCIe backplanes under the same PCIe backplane on PowerEdge R920 servers. The NVMe devices connected to different PCIe backplanes are displayed correctly under Storage → PCIe-SSD Subsystem → PCIe-SSD Extender → Enclosure.
• JIT-15612 (BITS264534): If a server has only software RAID S130 controller (no PERC controllers) and the operating system is booted through the same controller, the user will not be able to set the Remaining Rated Write Endurance threshold using the Server Administrator GUI. • On systems running the Windows operating system, the NVMe specification version for Samsung PM1725 NVMe HDD is displayed as “NVMe 1.0” • BITS266788: On systems running the ESXi 5.
• Port 1311 is the default port for Server Administrator. It is a registered port number of Server Administrator. If another application is configured to run on port 1311 before Server Administrator is installed, the DSM SA Connection Service does not start after installation. Before you install Server Administrator, make sure that the port 1311 is not in use. • Before starting Server Administrator, you must enable the client-side scripting in Internet Explorer. To do so, perform the following: a.
• The Server Administrator security settings are not applicable for Active Directory users. Active Directory users with read-only login can access Server Administrator, even if the access is blocked in the Server Administrator Preferences page. • Dell SNMP MIB Files for Dell Systems: • Dell SNMP MIB files for Dell systems allow you to obtain and verify information provided by supported software agents. The current MIB files supported by PowerEdge software agents are located at \support\mib on the Syste
