Release Notes

ManualsBrandsDell ManualsActive System ManagerEMC OpenManage Essentials Version 2.4

Issue 31:

Description: While creating an OpenManage Server Administrator update deployment task; the task may remain in the In-

progress state for 6 hours. This occurs in certain scenarios where OpenManage Server Administrator was not properly

uninstalled prior to running the update deployment task. This may also occur if the task was interrupted during the deployment

process.

Resolution: Before running the update deployment task, make sure that OpenManage Server Administrator is uninstalled from

the target server and then create an OpenManage Server Administrator deployment task.

Issue 32:

Description: Creating a Remote Server command task with the command omreport system alertlog may take longer

than expected to complete. This occurs if the alert logged on the target system is unusually large, the task may fail to complete.

Resolution: Review the alert log on the system to determine if the log can be cleared.

Issue 33:

Description: When Server Administrator deployment task is performed on more than 20 Linux targets, the task may fail. This

issue is due to the limitation on the number of simultaneous Server Administrator deployments task OpenManage Essentials is

capable of.

Resolution: It is recommended to deploy Server Administrator on up to 20 targets with each task.

Issue 34:

Description: When creating a Command Line task and selecting Remote Server Administrator command for a Linux target using

a command other than omreport and omconfig, the task status indicates the task as completed and displays a green status.

This occurs because the Remote Server Administrator command supports omreport and omconfig commands.

Resolution: While creating a Remote Server Administrator command, make sure to use only omreport and omconfig

commands for the task to return correct data. You can get the complete list of these commands at support.dell.com.

Issue 35:

Description: If you select an MSP package to update major versions of OpenManage Server Administrator, (for example, version

6.x to version 7.x) the task displays the status as successful and the details indicate that the software update is complete.

However, you can notice that the update was never completed. This occurs because the MSP is only supported while updating

minor versions. For example, 6.3 to 6.5 or 7.0 to 7.1. For more information about the valid packages that can be used to update

OpenManage Server Administrator, see OpenManage Server Administrator User’s Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.

Resolution: While updating major versions of OpenManage Server Administrator make sure that the MSI package is used.

Issue 36:

Description: The Deploy Server Administrator task runs forever.

Resolution: Make sure that the install arguments are valid for Deploy Server Administrator task. For more information about the

Deploy Server Administrator task and install arguments refer to the OpenManage Essentials User’s Guide or the Deploy Server

Administrator white paper at http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20069180/download.aspx.

If the arguments are invalid, stop the task and create a task with valid arguments.
