If you run the Server Administrator Web server on a Linux based operating system and try to manage a remote Windows managed system as a domain user, a login failed message is displayed.
• • 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.
• Start > Settings > Control panel > Add Remove Programs > Select Change on the Server Administrator installation and select the Repair option to correct the issue. DF330800: Server Administrator Web server local user login fails on the Windows 2008 R2 Managed Node. When a Windows 2008 R2 Managed Node is added to a domain, logging in from any Server Administrator Web Server to that Windows 2008 R2 Managed Node will fail with local user or local power-user credentials.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • 1. Type: omconfig system webserver action=stop 2. Locate the keystore.db.bak file. The default path is C:\program files\dell\SysMgt\apache-tomcat\conf. 3. Copy keystore.db.bak to keystore.dbkeystore.db. 4. Type: omconfig system webserver action=start A temperature drop below a minimum failure threshold does not cause a system reset even if this alert action is set.
• • • The selection of default option for the front panel LCD in Server Administrator displays the Model Name whereas the default is a Service Tag on the physical LCD. If Server Administrator does not respond or is locked to your selections on the component tree, perform the following steps: 1. Click Preferences. The Preferences page appears. 2. Click Server Administrator. The items on the front page may respond to your click.
- • • • • • • • Rename the keystore.db.bak at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apache-tomcat/conf to keystore.db 3. Start the Web server. BITS078118: On 12th generation of PowerEdge servers with specific versions of iDRAC, you cannot set the platform event alert actions (reboot, shut down, and so on) through Server Administrator. Set the alert actions for the events through iDRAC GUI.
• • The RAC may not send traps when your system is locked up. To enable traps to be sent when the system is locked, configure the watchdog timer using the Server Administrator GUI. On the GUI, click the "Properties" tab and ensure that Auto Recovery is selected. The default value of theAction On Hung Operating System Detection setting is None.None indicates that detection will not be performed. RAC firmware 2.
Type: Direct-Access • • ANSI SCSI revision: 02 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.
• 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.
• 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.
you must restart the server after using the Auto Configure RAID0 operation to ensure that all the physical disks in Ready state are created with RAID 0 volumes. • BITS268181: When a user creates a virtual disk using the GUI, physical disks are not listed under Dedicated Hot spare (DHS). So, the user will not be able to assign DHS while creating a virtual disk. Workaround: After creating the virtual disk, the user can assign DHS using the Assign/Unassign Dedicated Hot spare virtual disk operation.
• • • • • • 10. Click OK and restart your browser. If you run a security scanner tool such as Nessus, against the Server Administrator Web server, security warnings may be displayed against port 1311, the port running the Server Administrator Web server. The warnings have been investigated by engineering and are determined to be "false positives" (invalid security warnings) that you can ignore.
