Why is the DNS conguration settings restored to original settings after appliance reboot if
using DHCP for appliance IP and DNS settings overwritten
There is a known defect where statically assigned DNS settings are replaced by values from DHCP. This can happen when DHCP is
used to obtain IP settings, and DNS values are assigned statically. When the DHCP lease is renewed or the appliance is restarted the
statically assigned DNS settings are removed. Resolution: Statically assign IP settings when the DNS server settings will be dierent
from DHCP.

Why did my system not enter maintenance mode when I performed a one-to-many rmware
update?
Some rmware updates do not require rebooting the host. In that case, the rmware update is performed without putting the host
into maintenance mode.
Even if my repository has bundles for selected 11G system, why is rmware update showing
that I have no bundles for Firmware Update?
When I added a host to the connection prole in lockdown mode, the inventory kicked o but failed stating that “No Remote Access
Controller was found or Inventory is not supported on this host.” Inventory is supposed to work for a host in lockdown mode, right?
If you put the host in lockdown mode or remove a host from lockdown mode, you must wait 30–minutes before performing the next
operation. If you use a 11G host for rmware update, the rmware update wizard will not show any bundles even if the repository
provided has bundles for that system. This occurs because the 11G host might have not been congured for OMSA to send traps to
OpenManage Integration.
Resolution: Ensure that the host is compliant using the host Compliance screen of OpenManage Integration desktop client. If it is
not compliant, use the x Host Compliance to get it compliant.

Why Does My ESXi Deployment Fail on Servers Having a PERC S300 Boot Controller?
Deployments of OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter using dierent ESXi versions on Dell PowerEdge servers with the
PERC S300 boot controller failed. The Dell customized ESXi operating systems do not carry the driver for the PERC S300 boot
controller, which causes the boot controller/HDD not to be recognized during operating system installation. Servers with PERC S300
boot controllers are not supported for OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter deployments.
How Come I See An Error Message Displayed After Clicking The Firmware Link?
If you have a slow network speed (9600BPS), you may get a Communication Error Message. This error message may display when
you click the Firmware link in the vSphere Client for the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter. It happens when the
connection times out while trying to obtain the Software Inventory list. Microsoft Internet Explorer initiates this timeout. For
Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 9/10, the default “Receive Time out” value is set to 10 seconds. Fix this issue by using the
following steps.
