● While modifying the warning threshold settings, the values are stored in the firmware as discrete integer values and scaled for display. If the modified value is not a discrete integer, it may change when saved. ● Fan redundancy can have the following states: ○ Fully Redundant — The sensors display this status if all the fans in the system are present and are in a non-failed state. ○ Redundancy Lost — The sensors display this status whenever any system fan fails or is removed from the chassis.
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-164845: On systems running VMware ESXi 7.
Windows, click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Service, right-click DSM Server Administrator Connections Services and select Start. ● You may not have appropriate privileges on the Server Administrator GUI if you: ○ Belong to an Active Directory group that is part of another group. ○ Try to launch Server Administrator using the desktop icon when single sign- on is enabled. ● Broadcom architecture has a split driver implementation - evbdx.sys and bxnd60x.sys. ○ evbdx.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ○ Memory Testing: Server Administrator does not support this feature, but F2 BIOS supports this feature. ○ SRIOV option: Server Administrator does not display this information, but F2 BIOS displays this feature. Due to non-availability of resources, inventory collector may terminate unexpectedly and restart. If this occurs, the folder C:\Temp\invcol may be left as an artifact. The presence of this folder does not affect the functionality of the inventory collection.
● If Internet Explorer prompts you to Work Offline, Connect, or Try Again, always select Connect or Try Again. Do not select Work Offline. ● In Internet Explorer, on the menu bar, click File and clear the Work Offline option. When Work Offline is selected, a check mark is displayed to the left of the option on the File menu. ● If Internet Explorer prompts you to Work Offline, Connect, or Try Again, always select Connect or Try Again. Do not select Work Offline.
● DF315853: Some Server Administrator CLI commands, function properly only when run from the elevated console window. It is recommended that you use the elevated console for running the CLI. ● 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. ● DF549057: When an operating system is installed through USC, the BIOS attributes in Server Administrator are displayed as read-only.
command=clearmemfailures. The binary dcicfg, needed to launch the command from a shell command, is included in the OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) suite. ● JIT-148035: On Server Administrator, vFlash is not supported from YX5X generation of servers and above. ● JIT-148988: While logging to the Server Administrator GUI, the login may fail if the password contains the non-ASCII characters for example: Euro symbol €.
○ racadm fwupdate ● If the RAC configuration is reset to factory defaults using the racadm racresetcfg command, the RAC configuration tab in Server Administrator does not reflect the reset configuration settings until the system reboots. Also, the RAC configuration page in Server Administrator cannot be used to make any configuration changes until the system reboots. ● The RAC does not support local RAC user IDs with special characters.
● To resolve this issue, stop the USB arbitration service and run the Inventory Collector. To stop the USB arbitration service: 1. Run the ps aux|grep usb command to check if the USB arbitration service is running. 2. Run the chkconfig usbarbitrator off command to prevent the USB arbitration service from starting during boot. 3. After the USB arbitrator service is stopped, reboot the server to allow the Inventory collector to run.
● Physical disk properties such as Manufacture day, Manufacture week, and Manufacture year are available for SAS drives only. ● Creating many sliced span virtual disks using the spun-down drives through the command line or GUI result may be delayed. Workaround: After creating one sliced span virtual disk, wait for some time to create the next sliced span virtual disk.
● Description: Storage Management may not recognize devices that are installed after Storage Management is already running. Solution: If Storage Management does not recognize a newly-added device and this problem has not been corrected with a Global Rescan, then reboot the system. ● DF120475: Storage Management SNMP traps are not filtered by Server Administrator. ● Description: Server Administrator allows you to filter SNMP traps that you do not want to receive.
● JIT-8321 (BITS220411): Unable to create Partial Secure virtual disk using the GUI when all the available SEDs are selected. This operation will work if any other physical disk, which is not a part of any virtual disk, is connected. ● JIT-11205 (BITS242664): When a physical disk, which is a part of multiple partial virtual disks, is reinserted into the system, the status of the partial virtual disks will be displayed on Storage Management after a short delay.
● JIT-96484: Auto Config RAID 0 task fails and displays improper error message, when there are no free drives to create RAID 0 virtual disks on the server. Exit the wizard of the error page as Server Administrator log out. Workaround: Once again login to OMSA GUI. ● 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.
Work around: Restart sfcbd service. ● JIT-108887: On Storage Management, observes intermittently malformed alert log showing “XML Data generated for the selection made is not well formed” on systems running ESXi operating system. Work around: Restart sfcbd service. ● JIT-119082 : On multipath mode, if clear redundant path option is performed immediately after removing the enclosure cable, few minutes of delay is observed on Server Administrator GUI to refresh.
Work around: Restart the Data manager service to get the updated enumeration. ● JIT-156411: On PowerEdge R7525 when multiple NVMe drives hot plugged while PTR is in progress, observing wrong enumeration of NVMe drives on OMSA page. This is observing only when Toshiba drive is part of either hot plug operation or PTR (Prepare to remove). ● JIT-165788 : Predictive failure drives on HBA controller displays as ready state and the predictive failure alert is also not generated for such drives.
● JIT-181784: The Create Virtual Disk task fails on software RAID controllers when only a few of the selected physical devices have the "Mirror Set" property enabled on them". Workaround: Restart the Data Manager service. 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.
