Release Notes

Description: If the intensity of an alert storm increases beyond 5 traps per second, it could take OpenManage Essentials several
minutes to process all the alerts. New alerts that are received in the interim are not displayed on the console until all the alerts in
the storm are processed.
Issue 4:
Description: Alert Actions: Application Launch alert actions do not show the application in interactive mode if the Microsoft
Windows Interactive Service Detection service is stopped. To see the applications, you have to start the service.
Issue 5:
Description: Alerts are not received when the SNMP Trap service is stopped and started. To resolve the issue, restart the DSM
Essentials Network Monitor service.
Issue 6:
Description: For large number of alerts, two auto refreshes are required to show the total alerts and count on the home page. If
the alert count is large, the first refresh fetches and shows only a subset of alerts. The second refresh displays the entire list.
Issue 7:
Description: If you edited sample alert actions in OpenManage Essentials version 1.0, you must manually clone them before
migration. Those will get overwritten with default sample actions.
Issue 8:
Description: The test trap from PowerVault MD 32xx/32xxi is received in OpenManage Essentials system with IP 0.0.0.0. This
is an expected behavior in OpenManage Essentials and any other trap listener.
Issue 9:
Description: While upgrading OpenManage Essentials from version 1.0.1 to 1.2 or above, all the existing Dell EMC Force10 traps
are deleted because OpenManage Essentials version 1.2 installs the tested and verified Dell EMC Force10 trap definitions. Also,
the Dell EMC Force10 traps from the MIB Import Utility are also removed and the severity of the traps are set as defined in
OpenManage Essentials version 1.2. After upgrading to OpenManage Essentials version 1.2, make sure that you update the
associated Event view/action filters for these Dell EMC Force10 trap definitions, because the previous OpenManage Essentials
version 1.0.1 event filters may not work after the upgrade.
Issue 10:
Description: When creating an alert action for an application launch, OpenManage Essentials system path variables which
contain % signs are not supported. Examples of unsupported variables are: %WINDIR%, %SystemRoot%, %APPDATA%,
%HOMEPATH%, %PATH%, and so on.
Resolution: Avoid using the system path variables with % sign and use the full absolute path to the executable file.
Issue 11:
Description: SNMPv3 traps are received as "Unknown" alerts with severity for following CMC firmware versions: 5.20/5.21
(M1000E), 1.30/1.32 (FX2/FX2S), 2.20/2.22 (VRTX).
Remote tasks
● OpenManage Essentials supports iDRAC Service Module (iSM) deployment on servers running Community Enterprise
Operating System (CentOS).
Issue 1:
Description: The task targets tree is not expandable when iDRAC Service Module Deployment task is opened in view mode.
[51128]
Resolution: Open the corresponding task in edit mode to view the selected targets.
Issue 2:
Description: Target selection changes made to a remote task are applied to other remote tasks, if the tasks are created in quick
succession. [49249]
Resolution: Right-click and delete the affected remote tasks, and re-create the required remote tasks.
Issue 3:
Description: While deploying iSM on servers running Linux with OMSA version 7.4 or earlier, the deployment task may display a
success message, even though the task actually failed because of dependency issues. To confirm if the task was successful or
failed, you can see the task details.[48523]
