Important Notes Notes for Server Administrator On 12th generation or later PowerEdge server with iDRAC7 1.30.30 and later versions, you can set the Platform Event Destination as IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN. Notes for Instrumentation Service • On 11th generation or later PowerEdge server, if conflicting BIOS settings exist while configuring BIOS setup options through Server Administrator, the update attempt may fail at system reboot and none of the BIOS setup options may be updated.
Notes for Remote Access Service • The remote access service is available on supported systems only in this release. It enables remote access to a server that has lost its network connection or that has become unresponsive. In the current release of Server Administrator, the Remote Access Service uses Integrated Remote Access Controller (iDRAC). • iDRAC also has its own CLI that is accessed through the racadm command. You can add racadm commands to a batch or script file to automate various user tasks.
– omconfig system platformevents event=systempowerwarn action=powerreduction NOTE: The commands are supported only on 10th generation of PowerEdge servers. • DF94201 : When you double-click the Server Administrator icon on your desktop, a dialog box may appear, prompting you to enter credentials in Microsoft Internet Explorer for certain settings.
• If you import an invalid root certificate into Server Administrator, using Preferences > General Settings > Web Server > X.509 Certificate, and try to log on to the application after restarting the Web server, a blank page is displayed. To fix this issue, restore your original keystore.db file before importing a valid root certificate. To restore the keystore.db file, use both the basic operating system commands and the Server Administrator Command Line Instrumentation (CLI).
• Using the Internet Explorer browser, if you install Server Administrator on a system that includes an underscore in its host name, you must use the IP address of the target system in the browser URL to launch Server Administrator, as Host names with underscores are not supported. For example, (assuming Server Administrator is listening on port 1311): https://192.168.2.3:1311. For more information, see the following article on the: Microsoft website http://support.microsoft.
b Perform one of the following as applicable: – On systems running Windows: ◦ Delete the file keystore.db at \Dell\SysMgt\apache- tomcat\conf\ ◦ Rename the file keystore.db.bak at \Dell\SysMgt\apache- tomcat\conf\ to keystore.db – On systems running Linux: ◦ c • Delete the keystore.db file at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apache- tomcat/conf • Rename the keystore.db.bak at /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apache-tomcat/conf to keystore.
Issues for Remote Access NOTE: The Remote Access Service is supported on 11th generation of PowerEdge servers only. The following subsections list the currently known issues regarding implementation and operation of your RAC and the Remote Access Service in Server Administrator. Issues of Server Administrator on all Operating Systems • The Server Administrator user interface and commands related to local authentication enable are not applicable for RAC firmware 3.20.
– 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.

Update these rpms having same or later versions from SUSE openwsman-server-2.4.11-2.18.x86_64.rpm ,libwsman1-2.4.
2019 - 02 Dell EMC OpenManage Release Notes Version 9.2.1 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.
Configuration task may report successful completion even when inconsistent virtual disks are present and have not been imported successfully. 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.
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. • BITS146054: The enclosure automatically sets the critical and default warning thresholds. The user cannot set or reset any warning threshold to any temperature probe through the Storage Management GUI or CLI.
• JIT-61216 : Unable to create virtual disks (Raid 0, 1, 5) using Advanced Wizard if NVME add in card is present Description: In PERC S140 advanced wizard, virtual disk creation fails if a combination of NVMe and HHHL addin cards(AIC) are present. This issue is observed if the PCI slot ID of the add-in card (AIC) matches with the NVMe drive slot number. However, if only NVMe drives are used, you can successfully create the virtual disks.
• JIT-97151: Full view of Physical Disk Page in Server Administrator GUI, the negotiated speed for a 6Gbps drive capable speed is intermittently shown as 12Gbps. • JIT-94842: Storage Management carries SHA1 signed library ( storelibIR) in the current release. • JIT-91317: The storage management displays an incorrect alert "The Patrol Read corrected a media error" instead of Patrol read completion alert "Media Patrol completed" on BOSS card.
• JIT-109207: Server Administrator displays incorrect capacity information of the drive when formatted with 4096 block size. • JIT-111297: On Software RAID controller, Storage Management does not allow to expand the first Virtual Disk to maximum available drive space, if multiple the Virtual Disks are created on the same set of disks. Installation Prerequisites Storage Management does not display controllers and their features on systems that do not meet the driver and firmware requirements.
• 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. The following are the warnings: – The Web server on 1311 allows scripts to read the sensitive configuration and/or XML files.
