Release Notes

● Update the SNMP Community string of the IOA in the corresponding CMC console.
● Discover the IOAs separately in OpenManage Essentials.

Alerts
OpenManage Essentials can receive and process alerts from systems with an IPv4 address format.
Issue 1:
Description: Some of the alerts received in OpenManage Essentials from Dell EMC Networking C-Series devices may not
indicate the actual cause of error or problem on the device.
Issue 2:
Description: FluidFS alerts received from the controller or management member IP are not associated with the corresponding
Dell EMC EqualLogic FS7500 NAS device. [39667]
Issue 3:
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.
