Owner's Manual

In order for the members to be discovered, the IP address of each cluster member must be included in the
list of addresses to be discovered by the discovery task.
When discovering HA Clusters, the cluster name may replace the name of the active cluster node. To
avoid this, do not include the cluster IP address in the discovery range.
If the cluster IP address is the only IP address in the discovery task that is related to the HA Cluster, the
currently active cluster node will be discovered and its name will be the same as that of the cluster itself.
This results in the cluster name appearing in several places under the All Devices organizational view.
For example:
 Under HA Clusters as the HA Cluster
 In the resource pane as the discovered system when the cluster's organizational group is selected
 In the resource pane as the discovered system when the Servers organizational group is selected
Issue 62: Duplicate entries of a server found after running a discovery task
If a server and its associated Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC) are discovered using SNMP (with or without
also using IPMI), two entries for that server are displayed under the All Devices organizational view: one
entry for the server and one for the DRAC.
Issue 63: Dell Servers are classified as Computer even if IPMI is enabled in the connection profile.
When discovering Dell servers using only SNMP or WMI, Server Administrator must be installed and running
on the managed system in order for the system to be classified as a Dell Computer.
Consider this situation:
 If IPMI is used in combination with SNMP or WMI,
 You specify both, the server IP address and baseboard management controller (BMC) IP address in the
discovery task, and
 Target server is not running Server Administrator
Two devices will be discovered: a Computer and a Dell Computer.
In this case, the Dell Computer is associated with the BMC IP address and the Computer is associated with
the target server.
Issue 64: Altiris Agent push fails in certain cases when using SNMP+IPMI or SNMP+WS-MAN to discover a
server and its associated iDRAC.
If a server and its DRAC or BMC are discovered using SNMP and IPMI, or SNMP and WS-MAN the IP address
of the DRAC/BMC may be associated as the primary IP address of the server.
To avoid this situation, it is recommended you discover the DRAC/BMC in its own discovery task before
discovering the server in a separate discovery task.
Issue 65: With latest firmware version 3.1, Dell PowerConnect switch M6348 will not be discovered as Dell
device. As a result, PowerConnect M6348 Switch is not shown in Dell reports.
Issue 66: DMC uses the industry standard Printer MIB version 2 to discover and classify printers. Since this is
an industry wide standard, many non-Dell printers will respond to SNMP queries based on this MIB. In
addition, the MIB does not supply a way to distinguish the manufacturer of the printer. As a result, many
non-Dell printers will be classified as Dell Printers when discovered by DMC.
Issue 67: Linux Altiris Agent entry is not correlated with Dell Computer entry
When the Altiris Agent is installed on a Dell server running a supported Linux distribution and resource
entry for that system is automatically created by the Symantec Notification Server.
