DELL OPENMANAGE STORAGE MANAGEMENT Version 4.
This is the readme file for Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management Version 4.0. For additional information, see the Server Administrator Readme file and the "Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide. NOTE: The Storage Management service is installed using the Server Administrator installation process. See the installation readme (readme_ins.txt)on the "Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation" DVD for the latest installation information.
• The current release supports the Web browsers, Internet Explorer 9.0 and Mozilla Firefox 4.0 For a complete list of supported operating systems and platforms, see the latest Dell Systems Software Support Matrix stored on the media. Hardware and Software Requirements This section provides information about the minimum hardware and software requirements for installing Repository Manager.
6. For Windows 2003, perform the following steps, o Under "Miscellaneous", select the "Allow Meta Refresh" radio button. o Under "Active Scripting", select the "Enable" radio button. o Under "Active scripting", select the "Allow scripting of Internet Explorer web browser controls" radio button. 7. Click "OK" and restart your browser. • • To allow Single Sign-on for OMSA, perform the following steps: 1. Navigate to "Tools" in Internet Explorer. 2. Under "Tools", click "Internet Options". 3.
• OpenManage support for Encrypting File System (EFS) To improve security, Microsoft provides the capability to encrypt files using EFS. Note that OMSA will not function if its dependent files are encrypted. • Server Administrator GUI and CLI Response Time On Dell PowerEdge x8xx and later systems, the response time for some parts of the Dell OMSA GUI and CLI have increased to several seconds because some of the iDRAC data is no longer cached by OMSA.
Issue 2 Description View slot occupancy report shows 4 HDD slots on backplanes with just 2 HDD slots for any server. Issue 3 Description Physical disk clear operation is not available on PERC 8 family of controllers. Issue 4 DF489665: Max Config: OM on ESXi 4.1 U2 Experiences Timeouts and very poor performance Description When using ESXi with a large number of directly attached disk drives, delays or timeouts in OpenManage Storage Manager may be encountered during VD creation.
Issue 9: In ESX4 Classic, 'deprecated SCSI ioctl' message is displayed on the console Description In VMware ESX 4.0 Classic system, the following warning message(s) is displayed on the console: “Program dsm_sa_datamgrd is using the deprecated SCSI ioctl, Please convert it to SG_IO.” This is a kernel warning message displayed when storage operations are in progress. This is only a deprecation warning and not an indication of a failing operation. Resolution Reduce the kernel logging level.
Issue 14 Description 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. Issue 15 Description All virtual disks from the SAS/iR controller display the name "IR Virtual Disk" on the "Preview" page.
Resolution Use a supported browser other than Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x or use the Storage Management command line interface (CLI) to create the virtual disk. See the Server Administrator readme for information on supported browsers. See the Storage Management online help or the "Server Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide" for information on using the Storage Management CLI. Issue 20 152362: Storage Management may not display controllers installed with the Service and Diagnostics utility.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Prerequisite Drivers and Firmware You may find that controllers and their features are not displayed by Storage Management on a system that does not meet the driver and firmware requirements. At Storage Management runtime, you can determine whether the system meets the firmware requirements by checking your application log files for notifications on outdated firmware.
