Server Administrator Errors

The following table lists the Server Administrator errors that can happen while managing a system remotely:

Error Probable Cause
Could not resolve hostname This error may occur when the Web server cannot resolve the hostname you have entered.
connection error The error may occur:
  1. If the managed system you are trying to log in to is unreachable.
  2. If the Web Services for Management (WS-Man) server on the managed system is not running.
  3. If the WS-Man server is running but not configured for HTTPS. For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Installation and Security User's Guide.
  4. If the system running Server Administrator Web server has default proxy settings (not the browser proxy settings),
    the managed system login may fail. To fix this problem, the managed system should be accessed directly or by bypassing the proxy. For more information on configuring the proxy settings, see your operating system documentation.
Connection timeout This error may occur if the managed system you are trying
to access is taking too long to respond. This may be because
the dependent service(s) on the managed system are
processing other requests.
Internal error occurred This error may occur:
  1. If the dependant service(s) on the managed system are not running. For information on dependant service(s), see the Dell OpenManage Installation and Security User's Guide.
  2. If the WS-Man server is running but not configured for HTTPS.
  3. If the remote enablement is not installed. For information on how to install remote enablement, see the Dell OpenManage Installation and Security User's Guide.
Out of Memory This error is an operating system error. See the operating system documentation of the managed system and fix the issue and login again.
