Issue ID	Functional area	Description	Workaround or Resolution
Not available	Error on Command Log page	The command log page in the Server Administrator UI may display an error message indicating that the XML is malformed.	You must clear the command log from the CLI using the omconfig system cmdlog action=clear command.
DF531509	BIOS Setup Page Password	The setup and system password configuration from the Server Administrator UI or CLI is successful. But the password is displayed as blank instead of an asterisk (*) on the F2 BIOS page.	Not available
BITS040184	iDRAC user privileges	User in iDRAC user authentication page showing operator privilege(iDRAC user privileges) is displayed as Custom in Server Administrator.	Not available
Not available	BIOS Setup, Server preferences, and SNMP configuration	On clicking the Apply button twice on the BIOS Setup page, the Server preference page and SNMP configuration page, the Server Administrator logs out from the current session.	Not available
Not available	XML parsing errors	Typing omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog -fmt tbl command on the CLI results in XML parsing errors if the size of the log is large. Use the UI or the omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog CLI command to view the contents of the log.	Not available
Not available	Restore the previous certificate and Invalid root certificate.	When you import an invalid root certificate into Server Administrator from Preferences > General Settings > Web Server > X.509 Certificate. Then try to connect 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). Perform the following steps from your operating system command line: Type omconfig system webserver action=stop Locate the keystore.db.bak file. The default path on the Windows operating system is C:\program files\dell\SysMgt\apache-tomcat\conf. The default path on the Linux operating system is /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/openmanage/apache- tomcat/conf. Copy keystore.db.bak to keystore.db. Type omconfig system webserver action=start
Not available	Temperature drop below threshold	A temperature drop below a minimum failure threshold does not cause a system reset even if this alert action is set.	Not available
Not available	Unsecured HTTP requests	All unsecured HTTP requests to Server Administrator receive an invalid response. Server Administrator runs only one instance of the web server, which is secure. Make all connections through https://<ip address>: <port number>. Any http://<ip address>: <port number> request for connection with the server receives an invalid response.	Not available
Not available	Temperature in whole numbers	Temperature probe values and settings are only supported for whole degrees, not tenths of a degree. Setting a fractional value for the minimum warning temperature threshold results in the set value being rounded off to the next whole number value. This behavior may cause the minimum warning threshold to have the same value as the minimum failure threshold.	Not available
Not available	Session Management	If you close the browser using the Close button on the browser or log off from the operating system, the Server Administrator session is not terminated. This session is listed in the Session Management page until the either of the following: Session time-out occurs. DSM SA connection service is restarted. The operating system is rebooted.	Not available
Not available	Operating system time zone	When you change the operating system time zone to a new time zone, Server Administrator session management does not display the new specified time zone.	Restart Server Administrator to display the accurate time for the time zone in the Session Management page.
112708	Memory critical error	Memory critical error is not cleared from OMSA even after replacing the DIMM and clearing SEL logs. When a Dual-Inline Memory Module (DIMM) generates errors, memory states of the DIMMs are not automatically cleared even after the failing DIMM is replaced.	To clear the memory errors, run the command: dcicfg64 command=clearmemfailures. The binary dcicfg is present in the OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) suite and runs the command from a shell command.
131581	Unresponsive OMSA when iDRAC is Reset to Default	Open Manage Server Administrator Services are unresponsive when the Integrated Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is rebooting or when Reset to Default is in progress.	Not available
148035	vFlash support	On Server Administrator, vFlash is not supported from Dell PowerEdge 15^th generation servers and later.	Not available

158772	OMSA debrand settings	On a debranded Server, if Server Administrator services are not running, the omreport command-line utility and the Server Administrator UI defaults to display the Server as a Dell Server. It occurs as the server is unable to access the debrand settings of the Server Administrator.	Not available
162678, 163534	OMSA memory event	The memory event on the Server Administrator alert log displays the corresponding alert more than once occasionally.	Not available
161422	OMSA keysigning	On generation of the certificate on the Server Administrator UI, the keysigning algorithm preference is disabled. When an attempt is made through the Server Administrator CLI to configure a different keysigning algorithm, a return code of success is displayed. But it does not reconfigure. The keysigning algorithm remains the same with which the certificate was generated.	Not available
182493	Adapter properties information	On the Server Administrator UI slots page, the adapter properties information is shown as Not Obtained.	To get these values, see either the Card documentation or iDRAC interface.
186602	Alert timestamp	When two or more alerts are intermittently generated with the same timestamp, then the listed order in the logs may not be sequential.	Not available
192275	Unable to change the IntNic1Port1BootProto BIOS option	Server Administrator is unable to change the BIOS setup option, IntNic1Port1BootProto in Dell PowerEdge 14^th generation servers with legacy BIOS because of the BIOS limitations.

Immediately replace the DIMM. On the iDRAC Lifecycle Log, the MessageID is correctly displayed as MEM9072. However, Server Administrator Alert Log, operating system log, or SNMP trap displays MessageID as MEM7199 and MEM6004 for the same memory event.	See iDRAC Lifecycle log for further actions.
