Importance OPTIONAL: Dell EMC recommends the customer to review specifics about the software update to determine if it applies to your system. The update contains changes that impact certain configurations, or provides new features that may/may not apply to your environment. Platform(s) Affected For the list of supported platforms, see the section “BIOS, iDRAC, Lifecycle Controller versions” in the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter Version 4.1.0 Compatibility Matrix at Dell.com/support/manuals.

Description: Sometimes the iDRAC might not send an event when your system reboots. In this case, OMIVV sends latest health update notification by polling mechanism and you will receive the latest health update within an hour. Version affected: 4.0 and later ● Issue 2: In the Welcome page of the Firmware Update wizard, the message displayed under Note is not applicable for web client.
PAGE 4
Description: The OpenManage Integration icon is not displayed after restoring an earlier OMIVV version appliance database to a later OMIVV version appliance. Version affected: 3.0 and later Resolution/Workaround: The IP address of the later OMIVV version appliance must be the same as the earlier OMIVV version appliance for the plug-in to work correctly after restore. ● Issue 8: Storage overview returning incorrect number of physical disks for inventory.
PAGE 5
Description: The Initial Configuration wizard may be displayed if you click Cancel after selecting the Do not show again option. To properly read the Do not show again option, the wizard should move to the next page. Version affected: 2.0 and later Resolution/Workaround: Select the Do not show again option, and then click Next to move to the next page. Click Cancel to close the dialog box.
PAGE 6
Resolution/Workaround: Set the network interface to the VM Network during the OVF installation. After the virtual machine is created, remap the networking to the VDS port group. ● Issue 21: The Service Tag is not displayed during a firmware update. Description: In the firmware inventory and on the Select Update Bundles tab, the Service Tag information is not displayed for the Dell PowerEdge 11th generation servers. This information is not displayed if VMware vCenter does not provide the Service Tag.
PAGE 7
Version affected: All Resolution/Workaround: Remove the host from the first vCenter where it is now showing as disconnected. ● Issue 28: CSIOR status is displayed as "Unknown". Description: A server may show as non-compliant with CSIOR status, "Unknown". Version affected: All Resolution/Workaround: An unknown CSIOR state indicates a non-responsive iDRAC on the host. A manual iDRAC reset on the host fixes this issue. ● Issue 29: Hypervisor installation fails.
