Owner's Manual

Issue 77: Dell Web Server (DWS) Configuration is not supported for Linux targets in OMSA 6.1. As a
consequence configuring DWS using either the DWS Configuration Task or the OpenManage Command Line
Interface (OMCLI) task on Linux targets will cause the task to fail. Due to an issue in the task framework
with Linux targets, these tasks when executed against Linux targets take a long time (~1 hour) to show
the failure.
Issue 78: If you click on the "Warranty Report" link from the "Warranty Extractor Task" UI on an SSL enabled
DMC, you are required to enter Administrator credentials to access the page. This is due to an issue in the
framework API used to retrieve the URL prefix. If you provide the correct credentials, you can view the
report from the Task UI page. Alternately, you can choose to view the report from the "Reports"-> "Dell
Reports" page, where you are not required to supply credentials.
Issue 79: Remote Server Administrator command line task may fail for Server Administrator running on
Microsoft Windows 2008 and Microsoft Windows 2008 R2. To enable the successful functioning of remote
Server Administrator CLI, the managed system and the management station must be on the same domain
or there should be a trust relationship between the two domains.
If you have a Windows firewall configured on either the management station or the managed system,
change these settings:
On the management station:
1. Open TCP port 135.
2. Add the "omremote.exe" application
(located in \dmc\DMCTasksSolution\ToolsBin) to the firewall exception list.
On the managed system:
On the command prompt, type:
"netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin"
For more information on connecting through the Windows firewall, see Microsoft’s MSDN website for
Platform SDK: Windows Management Instrumentation (Connecting through Windows Firewall) at:

 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa822854(VS.85).aspx
Ensure the following settings are applied for users with non-administrator privileges:
1. Grant DCOM remote launch and activation permissions for a user or group.
2. Grant DCOM remote access permissions.
3. Allow users access to a specific WMI namespace.

Issue 80: When a task is running, the task status may be incorrectly shown as Pending. Double click on the
task run instance to view the correct status.
Issue 81: Warranty task may fail due to internet connectivity issue with the web service; in such cases
please make sure you have internet connectivity and retry after some time, the task should work.
Issue 82: When using Update CMC Firmware task, make sure the firmware image path specified does not
exceed 65 characters. Otherwise the task fails with an error message: “ERROR: Specified path is too long.”
ESX Support
Issue 83: The Altiris Agent is not supported on ESX/ESXi 4.0. As a result, Dell Patch Management and
Performance monitoring are not supported.
