Issue 36:
Description
While creating an OpenManage Server Administrator update deployment task; the task may remain in
“In-progress” state for 6 hours. This occurs in certain scenarios where OpenManage Server Administrator
was not properly uninstalled prior to running the update deployment task. This may also occur if the task
was interrupted during the deployment process.
Resolution:
Before running the update deployment task, make sure that OpenManage Server Administrator is
uninstalled from the target server and then create the OpenManage Server Administrator deployment
task.
Issue 37:
Description
Creating a Remote Server command task with the command “omreport system alertlog” may take longer
than expected to complete. The task may fail to complete if the alert logged on the target system is
unusually large.
Resolution:
Review the alert log on the system to determine if the log can be cleared.
Issue 38:
Description
When the Server Administrator deployment task is performed on more than 20 Linux targets, the task
may fail. This issue is due to the limitation on the number of simultaneous Server Administrator
deployments task OpenManage Essentials is capable of.
Resolution:
It is recommended to deploy Server Administrator on up to 20 targets for each task.
