Release Notes

Issue 26:
Description
NIC information is not displayed in the device details screen for Dell/EMC arrays.
Resolution
Use Navisphere Manager to view these details.
Issue 27:
Description
If you are managing a Dell/EMC storage array, enter the IP address for only one of the storage processors
(that is, either SPA or SPB, and not both) in the discovery range. The storage processors are redundant
and return the same inventory data to OpenManage Essentials. If you enter both SPs in the discovery
range, only one SP will be displayed in the device tree.
Issue 28:
Description
It is not recommended to provide an IP address in multiple ranges, especially when you are using the
IPMI protocol. This could result in duplicate devices being displayed on the device tree. [78710]
Issue 29:
Description
For IPMI-based discovery or inventory, the maximum length for the host operating system name is 62
characters. Any character beyond this limit will be truncated. [91210]
Issue 30:
Description
SNMP connectivity from Essentials may fail if the SNMP ports on the management station and managed
system are different. If some management applications change the default SNMP port, it could lead to
SNMP connectivity failure from Essentials. [175442]
Issue 31:
Description
If you manually change the host name of the server which has already been discovered in OpenManage
Essentials, then duplicate entries appear in the device list corresponding to the IP address of the device
whose host name has been changed. The new host name also corresponds to same IP address and the
duplicate entry of the earlier host name is not automatically deleted. OpenManage Essentials displays
both the new and the old host names. [247879]
Issue 32:
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 33:
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]
