Issue 26:
Description
If a server is discovered using both SNMP and IPMI (in-band and out-of-band IP addresses respectively),
Essentials will correlate the two and display a single device under the "Servers" group in the devices view.
If IPMI is then disabled, a new device would appear under the "Unknown" group, corresponding to the
out-of-band interface. The device details under the Servers group continue to display the out-of-band IP
address as well. After you re-enable IPMI, the device under Unknown group can be removed by right-
clicking it and selecting "Remove". [262869]
Issue 27:
Description
When a "Power Monitoring Capable" Server is discovered through the CIM protocol, on the "Device
Details" screen, Essentials may display "No" under the "Power Management" column in the "Power Supply
Information" section. To display the correct information, discover the server with either SNMP, or both
SNMP and CIM protocols. [300080]
