Release Notes

● Performance Unit Monitors are disabled by default. Enable the performance unit monitors to get performance health status.
● Health Monitoring for components under Software RAID controllers is not supported. Data that is required for health
monitoring not available from the device for such components.
● Network Link status for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s chassis shows internal NIC connectivity; network cable removal does not
affect Network Link status for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s chassis.
● Correlation of the shared storage between Dell EMC PowerEdge VRTX chassis and the server is not available for Dell servers
that are discovered through Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature; it is supported only for
servers that are discovered through the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature.
● Physical disks connections are not displayed accurately when the disks are connected to different connectors. All connected
disks are displayed under a single connector.
● Event Auto-Resolution feature is supported only for servers that are discovered through WS-Man. This feature is disabled by
default. Enable the feature through Feature Management Dashboard.
● Discovery of the devices should be done in batches, maximum of 250 server batch at a time.
● For the devices discovered through the appliance console, after the first-time discovery component health will be updated
after 1 hour.
● When the number of licensed nodes in detailed mode of discovery exceeds the threshold limit and then the monitoring mode
using licensed feature will be automatically switched to scalable mode.
● In Operations Manager, when a Dell EMC Alert Relay Server is added or removed, and then clicking "Sync with SCOM
MS" on the OpenManage Integration Dashboard is mandatory for proper workflow distribution in the all Alert Relay Server
resources.
● In upgrade situation from previous versions, install newer version of Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft
System Center Operations Manager by enrolling SCOM Management Group to OMIMSSC appliance. After this user
discovers same devices by synchronizing devices from Operations Manager to OMIMSSC or by directly Dell EMC OMIMSSC
dashboard, for older discovered devices empty discovery data will be submitted which will clear previously discovered device
objects.
NOTE: Older versions of management packs should be deleted only after 30 days of new discovery.
Dell EMC Chassis Monitoring:
● In Slot Discovery, the slot name for the slots containing FD332 Storage block, will be shown as SLOT-(Slot Number).
● Slot names that are displayed by Dell Chassis Slot Discovery may differ from the slot names that are shown by the Dell
Chassis web console.
● To monitor the alerts of Chassis devices, associate the community string Run As account with the SNMP Monitoring
Account with the target as Dell Modular Chassis class or respective Chassis object (if you have different Run As accounts
for different Chassis devices).
● Health Monitoring of PCIe devices is not supported in the Dell EMC Chassis Detailed Monitoring feature.
● Chassis Power Consumption performance metrics are supported in the Dell EMC Chassis (Detailed Edition) Management
Pack. Enable Metrics in Dell EMC OpenManage Dashboard to generate performance statistics for Chassis Aggregate Power
consumption.
● In upgrade situation from previous versions, install newer version of Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft
System Center Operations Manager by enrolling SCOM Management Group to OMIMSSC appliance. After this user
discovers same devices by synchronizing devices from Operations Manager to OMIMSSC or by directly Dell EMC OMIMSSC
dashboard, for older discovered devices empty discovery data will be submitted which will clear previously discovered device
objects.
NOTE: Older versions of management packs should be deleted only after 30 days of new discovery.
Health Unit Monitoring
OMIMSSC periodically polls the health of devices and communicates health changes to Operations Manager as alerts. The
Health Unit Monitors for Monitoring features consume these events and update the health of the devices and components
Operations Manager objects appropriately. The polling cycle duration can be changed or overridden in the Dell EMC
OpenManage Integration Dashboard.
NOTE:
Even though the Health Unit Monitors are Event-based, since these events are generated by OMIMSSC Appliance
after every polling cycle, the health state from the devices in SCOM gets updated only after the polling cycle.
