16 Scalability and performance of Dell EMC OpenManage Essentials version 2.5
9 Known limitations
• Discovery and Inventory: Memory used by OME for subsequent scheduled discovery and inventory
gradually increases. We have observed an increase in memory usage reaching 1 GB by OME for
discovery and inventory with the default schedule cycle (24 hours) over a period of 5 months (with 8000
managed devices). However, the memory will be released after restarting the OME service, or the OS on
which the OME is installed.
• Device Configuration Inventory: If the managed device count is more than 500 and scheduled
configuration inventory is triggered, the task might run for a longer time than expected. Follow the
recommendation mentioned in System update and server configuration management.
