Launching OpenManage Essentials
Issue 1:
Description: If the host name of the management station is changed after the installation of OpenManage Essentials, you will be
prompted to provide the system credentials when OpenManage Essentials is launched. [38871]
Issue 2:
Description: OpenManage Essentials launches in Internet Explorer even if any other browser is set as the default browser. [35491]
Issue 3:
Description: OpenManage Essentials does not launch or displays an exception when the number of connections to the
OpenManage Essentials website is limited in IIS.
Resolution: The OpenManage Essentials console requires constant communication with the web server to ensure that the data is
up-to-date always. The communication between the console and the web server is performed utilizing web method calls in a multi-
threaded environment. As such, multiple, simultaneous connections to the web server are required in order for OpenManage
Essentials to operate properly. As a general rule, ensure that your web server is congured for a minimum of 50 active connections.
Issue 4:
Description: OpenManage Essentials does not launch when the IP address of the remote database is changed. [31801]
Resolution: Reinstall OpenManage Essentials and target the existing remote database with the new IP address.
Discovery and Inventory
The processor count in OpenManage Essentials diers for managed systems that contain processors with multiple cores or
HyperThreading enabled. The count diers based on whether the managed system is discovered using the CIM or SNMP protocol.
The systems discovered using SNMP report physical processors, and the systems discovered using CIM report logical processors.
Issue 2:
Description: An EqualLogic storage array is displayed even after excluding the EqualLogic discovery range.
Resolution: If the EqualLogic Group Management, EqualLogic Storage Group, and all the EqualLogic member IP addresses are
included in a single discovery range conguration, excluding that range will exclude the entire group in the device tree.
If these IP addresses are distributed among multiple discovery range congurations, to exclude the EqualLogic group, all the
associated discovery ranges must be excluded.
Issue 2:
Description: For Dell EMC PowerVault MD storage arrays with thin virtual disks, the Virtual Disk Information table in the
OpenManage Essentials device inventory displays the name of the repository for thin provisioning instead of the thin virtual disk
name. [42606]
