Remote Tasks
OpenManage Essentials supports iSM deployment on servers running Community Enterprise Operating
System (CentOS).
Issue 1:
Description
On Dell 13th generation of PowerEdge servers running Windows 2012 Datacenter, the operating system
is considered as a 32-bit operating system in the iSM deployment task. [49466]
Resolution:
Discover iDRAC using WS-Man protocol or discover the range with iDRAC SNMP first and then the range
with Server WMI. Also, Enable All option can be used to select the desired target in iSM deployment
Wizard.
Issue 2:
Description
After cloning a scheduled OMSA or iSM deployment task, the task runs on all target devices. [49458]
Resolution:
After cloning an OMSA or iSM deployment task, it is mandatory to edit the cloned task and select the
desired targets.
Issue 3:
Description
Target selection changes made to a remote task are applied to other remote tasks, if the tasks are
created in quick succession. [49249]
Resolution:
Right-click and delete the affected remote tasks, and re-create the required remote tasks.
Issue 4:
Description
While deploying iSM on servers running Linux with OMSA version 7.4 or earlier, the deployment task may
display a success message, even though the task actually failed because of dependency issues. To
confirm if the task was successful or failed, you can see the task details. [48523]
Issue 5:
Description
The OMSA deployment task displays success even if OMSA is not installed because the selected OMSA
package is not supported on the target device. [45910]
Issue 6:
Description
The iDRAC Service Module (iSM) deployment task is unsuccessful when deploying iSM version 1.0 on a
target device running Linux operating system. [47177]
Resolution:
Ensure that the dependency packages/executables required for iSM deployment are installed on the
target device, and then run the task again. For information on the dependency files, see the "Linux Install
Dependency" section in the 'iDRAC Service Module Version 1.0 Installation Guide' at
