Release Notes

Description: If you are managing a Dell EMC storage array, enter the IP address for only one of the storage processors (that is,
either SPA or SPB, and not both) in the discovery range. The storage processors are redundant and return the same inventory
data to OpenManage Essentials. If you enter both SPs in the discovery range, only one SP will be displayed in the device tree.
Issue 23:
Description: It is not recommended to provide an IP address in multiple ranges, especially when you are using the IPMI
protocol. This could result in duplicate devices being displayed in the device tree. [78710]
Issue 24:
Description: For IPMI-based discovery or inventory, the maximum length for the host operating system name is 62 characters.
Any character beyond that limit will be truncated. [91210]
Issue 25:
Description: SNMP connectivity from Essentials may fail if the SNMP ports on the management station and managed system
are different. If some management applications change the default SNMP port, it could lead to SNMP connectivity failure from
Essentials. [175442]
Issue 26:
Description: If you manually change the host name of the server which has already been discovered in OpenManage Essentials,
then duplicate entries appear in the device list corresponding to the IP address of the device whose host name has been
changed. The new host name also corresponds to same IP address and the duplicate entry of the earlier host name is not
automatically deleted. OpenManage Essentials displays both the new and the old host names. [247879]
Issue 27:
Description: If a server is discovered using both SNMP and IPMI (in-band and out-of-band IP addresses respectively),
Essentials will correlate the two and display a single device under the Servers group in the devices view. If IPMI is then
disabled, a new device would appear under the Unknown group, corresponding to the out-of-band interface. The device details
under the Servers group continues to display the out-of-band IP address as well. After you re-enable IPMI, the device under
Unknown group can be removed by right-clicking it and selecting Remove. [262869]
Issue 28:
Description: When a Power Monitoring Capable Server is discovered through the CIM protocol, on the Device Details
screen, Essentials may display No under the Power Management column in the Power Supply Information section. To
display the correct information, discover the server using either SNMP, or both SNMP and CIM protocols. [300080]
Issue 29:
Description: Even after performing inventory on the discovered Linux servers N number of times, the Linux servers are still
listed under Non-Inventoried systems.
Resolution: To resolve this issue perform the following steps:
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
1. Mount the OpenManage Server Administrator DVD in the Linux server.
2. Install 'srvadmin-cm' rpm.
3. Restart the OpenManage Server Administrator services.
4. Ensure that the OpenManage Server Administrator inventory collector is working fine (Run ./invcol -outc=/home/
inv.xml from /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/invcol location)
5. Re-inventory the Linux server in OpenManage Essentials.
6. Now the Linux server will be either listed under Compliant systems or Non-Compliant systems.
Issue 30:
Description: An exception might be seen in the OpenManage Essentials Console, when a discovered virtual machine of a
VMware Classic ESX server is selected from the Unknown node in the All Devices tree. [516274]
Issue 31:
Description: The RAC Console application launch point is available when SNMP protocol is used to discover the DRAC (Dell
Remote Access Controller) devices. [515308]
Issue 32:
Description: To properly discover, inventory and classify a Dell EMC server running ESXi 5.0, you must install the OpenManage
Offline Bundle and VIB 6.5 A02 available at support.dell.com. For more information, see delltechcenter.com/ome.
