Release Notes
Issues of Server Administrator on VMware ESX Operating
Systems
• DF354388: Remote Server Administrator Web Server connection to a managed node hangs, if a redundant virtual disk containing
syslog dumps fails.
– If you congure the syslog to store logs on a remote virtual disc (VD), and remove the remote VD without reconguring the syslog
to a valid location, the Server Administrator web server screen stops responding.
– To continue using the Server Administrator Web server, restart the management services on the managed node.
• BITS072069: On ESX/ESXi Operating Systems, Server Administrator conguration changes are not persisted after an unclean
shutdown.
– If the server abruptly reboots, conguration 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 conguration changes to the installed
applications (VIBs). For more information, refer to the Knowledge Base article at - http://Kb.vmware.com/kb/2001780
• BITS119710: On systems running the VMware ESXi operating system, the TOE status of a network controller is not available.
• On ESXi 5.5 and later operating systems, NIC cards using Native drivers display limited information on Server Administrator.
• JIT-59889 : It is recommended to wait several minutes after an ESXi host has completed bootup before attempting login from a remote
OMSA web GUI. Otherwise the web login will fail as SFCB services load OMSA on the ESXi host and this may also cause some loss of
semaphores from the hypervisor's semaphore pool. If the ESXi system log indicates "no more semaphores available" then a suspension
of virtual machines and complete reboot of the ESXi host is recommended to prevent overall hypervisor stability issues.
• JIT-72246 : After uninstalling the Live VIB on ESXi OS 6.0 U3 and later systems, some of the folders including INI les may not be
removed during cleanup in the /etc/cim/dell and /opt/dell folders.
However, these folders do not cause any functional limitation.
• JIT-73658 : In R940 server, AIC placed in slot 3 shows as slot 0 in OMSA 9.1.0 installed on ESXi 6.5 U1 OS.
Restart OMSA service on the ESXI system to enumerate the Slot instances properly.
Issues of Server Administrator 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:
a Edit the /etc/syscong/syslog le and modify KLOGD_OPTIONS to KLOGD_OPTIONS="-c 4".
b Restart syslog by executing /etc/init.d/syslog restart.
• When using the Mozilla Firefox web browser on Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems, the font and type size on the Server
Administrator global navigation bar appear dierent 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 of Server Administrator on all Linux Operating Systems
• DF275424 and DF332775: Domain users unable to login to Windows MN from Linux Web Server.
– Negotiate authentication is not supported while remotely managing a Windows-based managed node from a Linux-based Server
Administrator Web server. 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.
– You can manage a Windows/Linux- based managed system remotely from a Windows-based Server Administrator Web server.
• BITS119710: On Server Administrator, you cannot use Windows domain user credentials to manage a system running Linux. If you try to
do, a login failed message is displayed.
