Issue

In the OMSA installed environment, OMSA operation may be unstable. For example, some information such as storage information may not be displayed on the OMSA, or OMSA may not open.
Also, after replacing a disk, the yellow exclamation icon may be displayed on the backplane or predictive failure may not be cleared.

In this case, restarting OMSA services may be valid for troubleshooting. Also, if the OMSA does not open, changing URL to the hostname (https://127.0.0.1:1311) may be valid for troubleshooting.
