Known Limitations in SCOM 2007 SP1/SCE 2007
SP1 Dell MP 3.1
These are the known limitations of SCOM/SCE 2007 SP1:
1
Path Name attribute value is not unique and proper for all Dell Hardware
devices
.
The format of Path Name attribute value for Agent-based discovered
devices and SNMP-based discovered devices are different. This is
according to the design of SCOM 2007.
2 There is inconsistency in the Diagram Detail View of Servers and
Clients.
This is the limitation for second level of inheritance from SCOM. For
servers, since both monolithic and modular blades derive from a single
base class, the diagram view details section displays only the base class
attributes. But in case of clients, we don't have second level inheritance.
However for servers, the detailed attribute information is displayed in its
state view.
3 Security: For Dell MP power control and LED tasks, passwords are
revealed in Clear Text while Authoring MP.
The Dell Management Pack exposes the BMC login credentials in the
Operator Console Authoring Pane. This is due to the current design of
ipmpish (which accepts credentials as plain text command line arguments)
not matching with OpsMgr user credential management using
RunAsAccounts.
4 Support for Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC 5, DRAC/MC) and
Chassis Management Controller (CMC) is not available in SCOM 2007
SP0.
5 Chassis management (power monitoring and fan monitoring) is not
supported on modular systems.
6 The health of your Dell system’s hardware log is not monitored by the Dell
Management Pack. However, you can view your Dell system’s hardware log
on the Server Administrator.
7 The Dell Server and Printer Management Pack does not support Printer
SNMP traps.
