Release Notes

Resolution:

1. Ensure that the correct FQDN is defined for each target device.

2. Set the UI discovery to use the DNS for name resolution.

3. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\Essentials\configuration or the path where OpenManage

Essentials is installed.

4. Open the dconfig.ini file, and add the following under [DISCOVERY_PARAM]:

NAME_CORRELATION_MODE=value

The possible values are:

• 0 = Default (OpenManage Essentials works as described in this issue).

• 1 = Matches device names based on the name resolution method set in the UI.

• 2 = Matches device names based on the name resolution method set in the UI, but also uses the

alternate name if it gives a more optimal match. Setting the NAME_CORRELATION_MODE to 2

helps when you do not want a preferred name resolution method for correlation.

Issue 45:

Description: When a Dell Compellent device discovered using the management IP (virtual IP) address or

master controller IP address is rediscovered using a non-master controller IP address, the management

IP (virtual IP) address will not be displayed in the NIC Information report. [30191]

Issue 46:

Description: The Service Tag may not be populated in OpenManage Essentials for devices with certain

firmware versions. The device list may also display multiple entries for these devices if the hostname of

these devices are changed. [29823]

Resolution: To ensure that the Service Tag is populated, upgrade the firmware of the managed nodes to

the latest version.

Issue 47:

Description: When a Dell client device such as Dell OptiPlex, Dell Latitude, or Dell Precision with OMCI

8.x installed is discovered using the WMI protocol, the Agents table in device details page displayed the

OMCI version as N/A. [16891]

Issue 48:

Description: When a XenServer is discovered using SSH, the MAC address is not displayed in the same

column for the IP address.

Issue 49:

Description: HA Clusters can be discovered using SNMP only. The discovery task that is intended to

discover HA Clusters must have SNMP enabled and the associated credentials must be correct for the

target devices.

In order for the members to be discovered, the IP address of each cluster member must be included in

the list of addresses to be discovered by the discovery task.

When discovering HA Clusters, the cluster name may replace the name of the active cluster node. To

avoid this, do not include the cluster IP address in the discovery range.
