Issue 32:
Description
When you create a custom group you have the ability to select a pre-defined device search query or the
ability to select individual devices and groups to form your newly created custom group.
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.
Issue 33:
Description
When a Dell PowerConnect 8100 series switch is discovered, the MAC address associated with the
management IP in the NIC Information table will be displayed as “N/A” in OpenManage Essentials.
Issue 34:
Description
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 35:
Description
When discovering and inventorying Dell 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 known to
occur with the initial release of the iDRAC7 firmware 1.06.06.
Resolution:
It is recommended that the iDRAC7 firmware is updated to version 1.20.20 or later.
Issue 36:
Description
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.
