Troubleshooting
The number of Dell hosts shown does not agree with the number hosts listed.
If the number of the Dell hosts shown at the top of a report page does not equal the number of hosts
listed on that page, it is possible that the Dell Management Plug-in does not have the correct
credentials to query some of the hosts. In this situation, the number of hosts listed in the report table
would be less than the number displayed at the top of the screen.
To check whether your hosts have a valid credential associated with them, navigate to the Connection
Profiles page in the Dell Management Center. Check the number of hosts listed in each profile. If a
host is not listed in any profile, then add it to a profile using the View/Edit button on the Connection
Profile page. If all hosts are accounted for, use the Test Connection button to test their credentials. If
the credential check fails for a host, either change the credentials saved in the profile or change the
credentials on the host so that they match.
