Version 1.03, C2EP32A

Problem(s) Fixed:

• Corrected a problem that could cause the Remote Supervisor Adapter II boot firmware to become corrupted during a flash update.
• Corrected a problem where some alert settings become unselected after updating the Remote Supervisor Adapter II firmware.
• Reduced the number of event log entries that are generated when accessing the Remote Supervisor Adapter II via SNMP.
• Corrected a problem where the NTP update frequency could be incorrectly displayed.
• Corrected a remote disk read error that could occur when uploading images through the Remote Supervisor Adapter II.
• Corrected syntax errors and seg fault errors that occurred in lflash.
• Corrected the flash utility to support the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008
• Corrected a problem that caused the media check operation of a remotely mounted ISO image to fail.
• Fixed a problem that prevented e-mail alerts from working with some mail servers.
• Corrected a problem that prevented the Network Time Protocol configuration from being accessed from an SNMP client.
• Corrected the SNMP MIB to remove a duplicate tcpcmdPortAssignment entry.
• Fixed a problem that caused the copying of files to a remote USB Key to fail.
• Fixed an intermittent problem that sometimes caused the screen capture, which occurs when the server hangs, to display some black lines.
• Corrected a problem that sometimes caused the Remote Supervisor Adapter II network settings to be changed after updating the firmware.
• Changed the SNMP Trap code for the system event log 75% full condition from 39 to 35, to match the MIB.
• SNMP Alerts for hard drive fault/recovery were not being sent.
• Corrected an issue where the OS Failure Screen was not being captured.
• Corrected a problem where a Remote Control user would see a black remote video screen when another user was logged in remotely using the Windows Terminal Services.
• Corrected a problem where files were not being seen when copied to a remote mounted USB key. Note that once the files are copied to the USB key, the USB key must be unmounted from the RSA II to access the files from the client system.
• CLI sessions with Serial Over LAN sessions were being closed on SLES 10.
• Corrected an issue that would cause an infrequent loss of remote session connection.
• Added support for the SSH SendEnv command. SSH would fail under RHEL 5.
• Change required to allow installing RHEL 5 from a remote mounted ISO image.
• Corrected USB key write protection and copying of files over 10 MB to a USB key.
• Corrected a problem where SNMP polling from four clients would prevent a user from logging in to the RSA II.

Enhancement:

• Added support for the IBM Enhanced Role Based Security Snap-in Utility ("ldap snap-in tool ")
• Support for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II has been added to version 2.1 and later of the snap-in utility.
• Added support for multiple NTP servers.
• Added the ability to permit SSHv2 only support.
• Added a command to the command line interface to disable the Remote Supervisor Adapter II firewall.
• Updated the Linux client remote disk support for improved performance and reliability.
• Updates were made to allow multiple image files mounted concurrently and to support images that are read only files.

Limitations: none.
Dependencies: none.

Version 1.02, C2EP28A

Problem(s) Fixed:

• Prohibit multiple login profiles from being created with the same user name.
• Corrected Daylight Savings Time support for New Zealand
• Improved the handling of invalid network data to prevent the network connection from hanging.
• Corrected a problem where login profiles may not be restored correctly when the configuration settings are restored from a file.
• Fixed a problem where an SNMP walk through query of the system health could loop infinitely
• Fixed a problem where the user either sees a blank web page or a timeout for the page not loading. The problem can occur in three scenarios:
  1. The maximum number of failed attempts to log into the RSA-II web interface has been reached. Normally, a page stating "Too many unsuccessful login attempts have been detected." would have been displayed.
  2. When the maximum number of sessions are already in use. Normally a page stating "All sessions are currently in use. Try again later." would have been displayed.
  3. The web session lost due to someone else logging in with the same user id. Normally a page stating "Your session has terminated because you logged in with this userid at another location." would have been displayed.

Enhancement:
