As a workaround, close the current discovery screen and relaunch the discovery screen from the
Inventory page. Submit the new discovery job after entering the required inputs.
Duplicate VRTX chassis group gets created
When modular servers that were previously in another chassis are added to a VRTX chassis and
discovered, the modular servers carry previous chassis service tag information and create a duplicate
VRTX chassis group in the appliance.
To resolve, do the following:
1. Remove a modular server from one chassis, and add it in another chassis. For more information, see
Server modules section in Dell PowerEdge VRTX Enclosure Owner's Manual.
2. Configure CMC. For more information, see Installing and Setting Up CMC in Chassis Management
Controller Version 2.1 for Dell PowerEdge VRTX User's Guide, available at dell.com/support /home.
After you do the preceding tasks, if there are duplicate chassis group entries, then as a workaround, do
the following:
1. Enable CSIOR and reset iDRAC on the newly added modular server.
2. Manually delete all the servers in the VRTX chassis group, and then rediscover the servers.
Exporting configuration profile of another server after IP
address is changed
After an Export Server Profile job on a server is scheduled, if the IP address of this server is assigned to
another server, then the appliance exports the server profile of this new server.
As a workaround, cancel the Export Server Profile job, rediscover the server whose IP address has
changed, and then schedule the Export Server Profile job on this server.
Error accessing the appliance after changing network
configuration
After setting up the appliance, if the network settings are changed, then the appliance may not reflect the
changes.
As a workaround, to apply these changes restart the appliance.
Error accessing plugin after updating SCVMM R2
If DLCI for SC2012 VMM plugin is installed, and then you apply Update Rollup 8 for SC2012 R2 VMM, then
there is an error displayed by SCVMM for security reasons. As a result you cannot access the DLCI for
SC2012 VMM plugin.
As a workaround, do the following:
1. Delete the folder at default path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Virtual Machine
Manager\Bin\AddInPipeline\AddIns\<username>.
2. Close and then open SCVMM.
