Release Notes

Description: When a Dell PowerConnect 8100 series switch is discovered, the MAC address associated

with the management IP in the NIC Information table will be displayed as N/A in OpenManage Essentials.

Issue 40:

Description: Discovery and Inventory of servers that have virtual network adapters are not displayed in

the NIC Information table of the server. This occurs when discovering and inventorying Microsoft

Windows servers with SNMP, WMI, or both along with Hyper-V role configured with virtual networks

adapters.

Resolution: OpenManage Essentials displays only the IP of the network adapter it was discovered on. If it

is a virtual network adapter, it displays Host NIC Adapter. OpenManage Essentials displays only the

physical network adapters in the NIC Information table of the server.

Issue 41:

Description: When discovering and inventorying 12G servers using SNMP, there may be some instances

where the device is removed from the device tree and replaced with another 12G server. This issue is

known to occur with the initial release of the iDRAC7 firmware 1.06.06.

Resolution: It is recommended that the iDRAC7 firmware is updated to version 1.20.20 or later.

Issue 42:

Description: If you import more than 1,500 discovery ranges (each range can have one or more IP

addresses) using the Discovery import CSV feature, the first time you navigate to the Manage | Discovery

and Inventory page, you may see a delay of 10-15 seconds until the page loads. After that, subsequent

visits to that page will load normally.

Resolution: Do one of the following:

1. Allow the console to complete loading for up to 15 seconds.

2. Do not import individual IP addresses, instead import the IP ranges.

Issue 43:

Description: While discovering ESXi 5.0 and ESXi 5.0 U1 using WS-Man you may observe that the

discovery task may take about 6 minutes. This issue is due to the enhanced information OpenManage

Essentials 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:

1. Perform discovery and inventory of ESXi 5 when the servers are not busy.

2. Review the Performance and Scalability white paper at delltechcenter.com/ome for other

recommendations.

Issue 44:

Description: When OpenManage Essentials is used to discover and inventory devices of the same

category having 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.
