Issue 37:
Description
While discovering ESXi 5.0 and ESXi 5.0 U1 using WSMAN you may observe that the discovery task may
take about 6 minutes. This issue is due to the enhanced information OME is gathering from the ESXi 5
host and the increased storage and software calls being sent to the OMSA ESXi 5 VIB.
Resolution:
Do one of the following:
Perform discovery and inventory of ESXi 5 when the servers are not busy.
Review the “Performance and Scalability” white paper at delltechcenter.com/ome for other
recommendations.
Issue 38:
Description
When OpenManage Essentials is used to discover and inventory devices of the same category having the
same name (for example, servers) in different subnets (for example, my_server), then:
The device tree displays the information of the device that was discovered last.
The device information portal (Details tab) displays the merged data from all devices.
Resolution:
1. Ensure that the correct FQDN is defined for each target device.
2. Set the UI discovery to use the DNS for name resolution.
3. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\Essentials\configuration or the path where OpenManage
Essentials is installed.
4. Open the dconfig.ini file, and add the following under [DISCOVERY_PARAM]:
NAME_CORRELATION_MODE=value
The possible values are:
0 = Default (OpenManage Essentials works as described in this issue)
1 = Matches device names based on the name resolution method set in the UI.
2 = Matches device names based on the name resolution method set in the UI, but also uses the
alternate name if it gives a more optimal match. Setting the NAME_CORRELATION_MODE to 2 helps
when you do not want a preferred name resolution method for correlation.
Issue 39:
Description
When a Dell Compellent device discovered using the management IP (virtual IP) address or master
controller IP address is rediscovered using a non-master controller IP address, the management IP
(virtual IP) address will not be displayed in the NIC Information report. [30191]
Issue 40:
Description
The Service Tag may not be populated in OpenManage Essentials for devices with certain firmware
versions. The device list may also display multiple entries for these devices if the host name of these
devices are changed. [29823]
Resolution:
To ensure that the Service Tag is populated, upgrade the firmware of the managed nodes to the latest
version.
