Users Guide

NOTE: If an ESXi system has IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and both of them are discovered, the

addresses appear as different managed nodes under the Dell Managed Systems → ESXi

Workstations. You can avoid the redundant service tag by excluding these IP addresses in the

discovery configuration.

If the IPv6 address of a Dell workstations running ESXi is configured as a seed in the ITNM IP Edition,

then the trap association will not occur. To view the trap association, discover the Dell workstations

running ESXi using an IPv4 address.
