Release Notes
If you select a device search query as your basis for your custom group content and you subsequently decide to modify
the device search query, the results of the modified device search query is not reflected in the custom group. You will
have to delete the custom group and recreate it using the newly modified device search query group.
If you create a custom group using a device search query, you subsequently modify the device search query and then
attempt to edit the custom group that used the device search query in question, the original device search query group
gets deleted. So, once you create a custom group based on a device search query, do not edit it. If you need to modify
it, delete it first and then re-create it.
When a Dell client device such as Dell OptiPlex, Dell Latitude, or Dell Precision is discovered ,the Agents table in device
details page displays the internal version of the Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation (OMCI) agent instead of actual
OMCI version installed in the device. Internal product version may be different from the actual installer version. For
example, if OMCI version 8.1.0 is installed, OpenManage Essentials displays the version as 7.0.
Issue:
Discovery and Inventory of servers that have virtual network adapters are not displayed in the “NIC Information” table
of the server. This occurs when discovering and inventorying Microsoft Windows servers with SNMP, WMI, or both along
with Hyper-V role configured with virtual networks adapters.
Resolution:
OME displays only the IP of the network adapter it was discovered on. If it is a virtual network adapter, it displays “Host
NIC Adapter”. OME displays only the physical network adapters in the “NIC Information” table of the server.
Issue:
When discovering and Inventorying 12G servers using SNMP, there may be some instances where the
device is removed from the device tree and replaced with another 12G server. This issue is due to the
initial release of the iDRAC 7 firmware 1.06.06 that causes this issue.
Resolution:
It is recommended that iDRAC 7 firmware is updated to version 1.20.20 or later.
Issue:
If you import more than 1,500 discovery ranges (each range can have one or more IP addresses) using the
Discovery “import CSV” feature, the first time you navigate to the “Manage | Discovery and Inventory“ page, you
may see a delay of 10-15 seconds until the page loads. After that, subsequent visits to that page will load
normally.
Resolution:
Do one of the following:
Allow the console to complete loading for up to 15 seconds.
Do not import individual IP addresses, instead import the IP ranges.
Issue:
While discovering ESXi 5.0 and ESXi 5.0 U1 using WSMAN you may observe the discovery task may take about 6
minutes. This issue is due to the enhanced information OME is gathering from the ESXi 5 host and the increased
storage and software calls being sent to the OMSA ESXi 5 VIB.
Resolution:
Do one of the following:
Perform discovery and inventory of ESXi 5 when the servers are not busy.
Review the Performance and Scalability whitepaper for other recommendations.
When a client system is discovered using WMI protocol that has OMCI version 8 or later installed on it, OMCI agent
version is displayed as N/A.
