New in this release (version 3.4 and version 3.4.1)
● Server-initiated discovery—With this feature, new servers in a datacenter can notify OpenManage Enterprise and can get
automatically discovered. Servers should have a firmware version of 4.00.00.00 or later.
● Automatic refresh of the MX7000 chassis inventory on insertion and removal of sleds.
● Configuration management with Profiles—This feature enables pre-creating profiles with device specific settings (including
virtual identities) for deployment to devices later. Profile management allows for easy migration of settings from one device
to another.
● In-band driver update support for the devices running on 64-bit Windows versions.
● Non-virtual identity attributes can inherit values from the source template and can be edited prior to deployment or auto-
deployment.
● Secure attributes of templates, such as passwords, can be edited.
● Identify and mark 'assigned' identities on the device configuration inventory.
● A pre-canned 'Virtual Identity Usage by pool' report is included in Reports.

○ VLAN setting changes in templates can be immediately propagated on modular systems.
○ Support for YX4X XC (14G XC) platforms. For more information, refer the OpenManage Enteprise version 3.4 Support
Matrix.
