Release Notes
Description: When discovering and inventorying 12G servers using SNMP, there may be some instances where the device is
removed from the device tree and replaced with another 12G server. This issue is known to occur with the initial release of the
iDRAC7 rmware 1.06.06.
Resolution: It is recommended that the iDRAC7 rmware is updated to version 1.20.20 or later.
Issue 37:
Description: If you import more than 1,500 discovery ranges (each range can have one or more IP addresses) using the Discovery
import CSV feature, the rst time you navigate to the Manage | Discovery and Inventory page, you may see a delay of 10-15
seconds until the page loads. After that, subsequent visits to that page will load normally.
Resolution: Do one of the following:
1. Allow the console to complete loading for up to 15 seconds.
2. Do not import individual IP addresses, instead import the IP ranges.
Issue 38:
Description: While discovering ESXi 5.0 and ESXi 5.0 U1 using WS-Man you may observe that the discovery task may take about 6
minutes. This issue is due to the enhanced information OpenManage Essentials is gathering from the ESXi 5 host and the increased
storage and software calls being sent to the OMSA ESXi 5 VIB.
Resolution: Do one of the following:
1. Perform discovery and inventory of ESXi 5 when the servers are not busy.
2. Review the Performance and Scalability white paper at delltechcenter.com/ome for other recommendations.
Issue 39:
Description: When OpenManage Essentials is used to discover and inventory devices of the same category having same name (for
example, servers) in dierent subnets (for example, my_server), then
• The device tree displays the information of the device that was discovered last.
• The device information portal (Details tab) displays the merged data from all devices.
Resolution:
1. Ensure that the correct FQDN is dened for each target device.
2. Set the UI discovery to use the DNS for name resolution.
3. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\Essentials\conguration or the path where OpenManage Essentials is installed.
4. Open the dcong.ini le, and add the following under [DISCOVERY_PARAM]: NAME_CORRELATION_MODE=value
The possible values are:
• 0 = Default (OpenManage Essentials works as described in this issue).
• 1 = Matches device names based on the name resolution method set in the UI.
• 2 = Matches device names based on the name resolution method set in the UI, but also uses the alternate name if it gives a
more optimal match. Setting the NAME_CORRELATION_MODE to 2 helps when you do not want a preferred name
resolution method for correlation.
Issue 40:
Description: When a Dell EMC Compellent device discovered using the management IP (virtual IP) address or master controller IP
address is rediscovered using a non-master controller IP address, the management IP (virtual IP) address will not be displayed in the
NIC Information report. [30191]
Issue 41:
Description: The Service Tag may not be populated in OpenManage Essentials for devices with certain rmware versions. The
device list may also display multiple entries for these devices if the hostname of these devices are changed. [29823]
Resolution: To ensure that the Service Tag is populated, upgrade the rmware of the managed nodes to the latest version.
Issue 42:
Description: When a Dell client device such as Dell OptiPlex, Dell Latitude, or Dell Precision with OMCI 8.x installed is discovered
using the WMI protocol, the Agents table in device details page displayed the OMCI version as N/A. [16891]
