Release Notes

 Issue:
Creating a Remote Server command task with the command “omreport system alertlog” may take longer than
expected to complete. This occurs if the alert logged on the target system is unusually large, the task may fail to
complete.
Resolution:
Review the alert log on the system to determine if the log can be cleared.
 Issue:
When Server Administrator deployment task is performed on more than 20 Linux targets, the task may fail. This issue is
due to the limitation on the number of simultaneous Server Administrator deployments task OpenManage Essentials is
capable of.
Resolution:
It is recommended to deploy Server Administrator on up to 20 targets for each task.
 Issue:
When creating a Command Line task and selecting Remote Server Administrator command for a Linux target using a
command other than omreport and omconfig, the task status indicates the task as completed and displays a green
status. This occurs because the Remote Server Administrator command supports omreport and omconfig commands.
Resolution:
While creating a Remote Server Administrator command, make sure to use only omreport and
omconfig commands for the task to return correct data. You can get the complete list of these
commands at support.dell.com.
 Issue:
If you select an MSP package to update major versions of OpenManage Server Administrator,(for
example, version 6.x to version 7.x) the task displays the status as successful and the details indicate
that software update is complete. However you can notice that the update was never completed. This
occurs because the MSP is only supported while updating minor versions. For example, 6.3 to 6.5 or 7.0
to 7.1. For more information about the valid packages that can be used to update OpenManage Server
Administrator, see OpenManage Server Administrator User Guide available at
support.dell.com/manuals.
Resolution:
While updating major versions of OpenManage Server Administrator make sure that the MSI package is
used.
