Release Notes

Description: Creating a Remote Server command task with the command omreport system

alertlog may take longer than expected to complete. This occurs if the alert logged on the target

system is unusually large, the task may fail to complete.

Resolution: Review the alert log on the system to determine if the log can be cleared.

Issue 38:

Description: When 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 with each task.

Issue 39:

Description: When creating a Command Line task and selecting Remote Server Administrator command

for a Linux target using a command other than omreport and omconfig, the task status indicates the

task as completed and displays a green status. This occurs because the Remote Server Administrator

command supports omreport and omconfig commands.

Resolution: While creating a Remote Server Administrator command, make sure to use only omreport

and omconfig commands for the task to return correct data. You can get the complete list of these

commands at support.dell.com.

Issue 40:

Description: If you select an MSP package to update major versions of OpenManage Server

Administrator, (for example, version 6.x to version 7.x) the task displays the status as successful and the

details indicate that the software update is complete. However, you can notice that the update was never

completed. This occurs because the MSP is only supported while updating minor versions. For example,

6.3 to 6.5 or 7.0 to 7.1. For more information about the valid packages that can be used to update

OpenManage Server Administrator, see OpenManage Server Administrator User’s Guide at dell.com/

support/manuals.

Resolution: While updating major versions of OpenManage Server Administrator make sure that the MSI

package is used.

Issue 41:

Description: The Deploy Server Administrator task runs forever.

Resolution: Make sure that the install arguments are valid for Deploy Server Administrator task. For more

information about the Deploy Server Administrator task and install arguments refer to the OpenManage

Essentials User’s Guide or the Deploy Server Administrator white paper at http://en.community.dell.com/

techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20069180/download.aspx. If the arguments are invalid, stop the

task and create a new task with valid arguments.

Issue 42:

Description: If OpenManage Essentials is added to a domain, the Generic Command Line task fails when

the username is provided as localhost\<Username>.
