Issue 3:
Description

(x86)" folder, upgrade to the latest version of OpenManage Essentials is unsuccessful. [39859]
Resolution
NOTE: It is not recommended to create or copy a custom folder under the "Program Files (x86)" folder
and then use the folder for installing any application. Doing so may result in unexpected behavior
during/after upgrade of the application.
1. Uninstall the existing version of OpenManage Essentials while retaining the existing OpenManage
Essentials database.

database. Do you want to retain the database?" prompt, click Yes.

Issue 4:
Description
Migrating from ITA 8.9 or updating from OpenManage Essentials 1.0.1 silent installation of the
“Troubleshooting Tool” and “MIB Import” tool along with any other products selected in the auto run
screen fails to install or upgrade on Windows 2008 SP2 32-bit and 64-bit. This occurs when
OpenManage Essentials asks for system reboot during critical pre-requisite installation.
Resolution
Manually install these components from their respective installers located in the Windows folder where
OME is extracted to.
Issue 5:
Description
While migrating of tasks from ITA 8.9 to OME, all scheduled task that are configured to “Run Once”
appears as “Periodic Daily” and is disabled. This issue occurs because ITA task information is incomplete
when sent to OME during the migration process. This does not affect any of the existing tasks that OME
has configured.
Resolution
It is recommended that any tasks that are not required must be deleted before starting migration.
Issue 6:
Description
After an upgrade from OME 1.0/1.0.1 or migration from ITA, RAC health status will be unknown if it was
discovered using IPMI protocol and user or operator privileges.
Resolution
Provide the user account in the discovery wizard with IPMI admin privileges on the RAC and re-run
discovery to get the health status.
Issue 7:
Description
Customizations to the Devices portal layout are deleted on upgrading to OpenManage Essentials 2.1.
