iDRAC license type and description are displayed
incorrectly for non-compliant vSphere hosts
If a host is noncomplaint when CSIOR is disabled or has not been run, iDRAC license information is displayed incorrectly although valid
iDRAC license is available. Hence, you can view the host in vSphere hosts list, but when you click the host for details, the information in
iDRAC License Type is displayed as empty and iDRAC License Description is displayed as ”Your license needs to be upgraded."
Resolution: To fix this issue, enable CSIOR on a reference server.
Version affected: 4.0 and later

Resolution: You can upgrade a registered vCenter for non-administrator users or administrator users. To upgrade to the latest version of
the vCenter server, see the VMware Documentation and then perform either of the following options, as applicable:
For non-administrator users:
1. Assign extra privileges to non-administrator users, if necessary. See Required privileges for non-administrator users.
2. Reboot the registered OMIVV appliance.
3. Log out from web client and then log in again.
For administrator users:
1. Reboot the registered OMIVV appliance.
2. Log out from web client and then log in again.
The Dell provider is now listed in the Proactive HA provider list.
Version affected: 4.0 and later
