Release Notes

• Server Administrator components get removed on an OS upgrade. (380137)
During an OS upgrade, some of the srvadmin packages may get removed.
After an operating system upgrade, the Server Administrator needs to be reinstalled since the
srvadmin packages installed may not be applicable for the upgraded operating system.
For example, after an upgrade from SLES 10 to SLES 11, Server Administrator needs to be
reinstalled as the SLES 10 srvadmin packages may not work with SLES 11.
Versions Affected: 7.0 and earlier
• Existing connection service lost after SLES11 upgrade. (388955)
Dell OpenManage version 6.x for Linux does not have a functional Connection Service web GUI
after upgrading SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 to Service Pack 1. Also, if WS-MAN service for
OMSA were installed, it does not function.
To prevent this:
1. Before upgrading SLES 11 operating system, uninstall the OpenSource packages manually with
--nodeps option.
2. Upgrade the SLES11 operating system to Service Pack 1.
To resolve this, reinstall the following Server Administrator packages from the OpenManage install
media:
o rpm -Uhv srvadmin-iws-*.sles11.rpm --nodeps
o rpm -Uhv srvadmin-itunnelprocider-*.sles11.rpm --nodeps
Versions Affected: 7.0 to 6.0
• DRAC4 service failure message after YUM installation. (391720)
RAC4 service startup shows failed to probe DRAC4 when OpenManage installation is performed
using YUM or if all the RAC rpms are installed from the OpenManage DVD.
Essentially this error message is observed on a system (9G, 10G, or 11G server) that does not have
a RAC4 but RAC4 rpms are installed. There is no functionality impact.
The following message is displayed:
DRAC4 probe: DRAC4 pci device not found [FAILED]
Versions Affected: 7.0 and earlier
• Linux install script cannot be run from Virtual Media.
The "srvadmin-services.sh" script cannot be run from Virtual Media.
Run this script from the local file system after un-mounting the virtual media. This avoids
input/output errors that you may otherwise encounter while using Virtual Media.
Versions Affected: 7.0 and earlier
