Dell OpenMa anage Essent E ials Verssion 1.0.
Dell OpenManage Essentials provides a central point of access to monitor and manage systems on a local area network (LAN). By allowing an administrator a comprehensive view across the enterprise, Essentials can increase system uptime, reduce repetitive tasks, and prevent interruption in critical business operations. Whats New in OME 1.0.1 There are a few incremental changes between OME 1.0 and OME 1.0.1.
Processor: 2 - 4 cores (1.8 GHz minimum) Memory: 4 GB Disk Space: at least 4 GB Large (500+ Managed Systems): Processor: 4 or more cores (1.8 GHz minimum) Memory: 6 GB Disk Space: ateast10 GB NOTE: The disk space needed may increase based on the: Number of Dell Update Packages you import for software update.
Additional Software Required to Run Some Features of Essentials ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Dell/EMC storage arrays inventory, ensure that your array is FLARE(R) version 19 or above. You must also install Navisphere(R) Secure CLI (version 19 or above) on your management station.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Discovery and Inventory ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The processor count in OpenManage Essentials differs for managed systems that contain processors with multiple cores or HyperThreading enabled. The count differs based on whether the managed system is discovered using the CIM or SNMP protocol.
SNMP connectivity from Essentials may fail if the SNMP ports on the management station and managed system are different. If some management applications change the default SNMP port, it could lead to SNMP connectivity failure from Essentials.[175442] If you manually change the host name of the server which has already been discovered in OpenManage Essentials, then duplicate entries appear in the device list corresponding to the IP address of the device whose host name has been changed.
In order for the members to be discovered, the IP address of each cluster member must be included in the list of addresses to be discovered by the discovery task. When discovering HA Clusters, the cluster name may replace the name of the active cluster node. To avoid this, do not include the cluster IP address in the discovery range.
If you have a Windows Firewall configured on the management station or the managed system, make the following configuration changes to enable remote Server Administrator CLI and software updates to work successfully. Management Station: 1. 2. Open TCP port 135. Add the application "omremote.exe" (located in Essentials\bin) to the Firewall exception list.
