Release Notes
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 the cluster IP address is the only IP address in the discovery task that is related to the HA Cluster, the currently
active cluster node will be discovered and its name will be the same as that of the cluster itself. This results in the
cluster name appearing in several places under the All Devices organizational view.
It is advisable to set the name resolution to NetBIOS for discovering clusters. The setting is available under Manage
-> Discovery and Inventory and by clicking Discovery Schedule link on the left hand pane.

Alerts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenManage Essentials can receive and process alerts from systems with an IPv4 address format.
If the intensity of an alert storm increases beyond 5 traps per second, it could take OpenManage Essentials several
minutes to process all the alerts. New alerts that are received in the interim are not displayed on the console until all
the alerts in the storm are processed.
Alert Actions: Application Launch alert actions do not show the application in interactive mode if the Microsoft
Window's "Interactive Service Detection" service is stopped. To see the applications, you have to start the service.
Alerts are not received when "SNMP services" are stopped and started. To resolve this issue, restart the “DSM Essentials
Network Monitor” service.
For large number of alerts, two auto refreshes are required to show the total alerts & count on the home page. If the
alert count is large, the first refresh fetches and shows only a subset of alerts. The second refresh displays the entire
list.
If you edited sample alert actions in 1.0, you must manually clone them before migration. Those will get overwritten
with default sample actions.
The test trap from PowerVault MD 32xx/32xxi is received in OpenManage Essentials system with IP 0.0.0.0. This is an
expected behavior in OpenManage Essentials and any other trap listener.

Remote Tasks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When OpenManage Essentials is installed with a remote database server, the database connection may be lost (due to
local network failures, database server reboots, and so on). If this happens, tasks may no longer run as scheduled.
When observed, normal operation can be restored by restarting the OME Windows services: “DSM Essentials Network
Monitor” and “DSM Essentials Task Manager” [498134].
Remote Server Administrator command line task may not respond for Server Administrator running on Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2.
To enable the successful functioning of remote Server Administrator CLI and software updates/deploy features, ensure
the following (applicable to Microsoft® Windows® only)
The managed system and the management station must be on the same domain or there should be a trust relationship
between the two domains.
