In Administration Console, why Update Repository Path is not
set to default path after I reset appliance to factory settings?
After you reset the appliance, go to the Administration Console, and then click APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT in the left pane.
In the Appliance Settings page, the Update Repository Path is not changed to the default path.

Why warranty and inventory schedule for all vCenters is not
applying when selected from the job queue page?
Navigate to Dell Home > Monitor > Job Queue > Warranty/Inventory History > Schedule. Select a vCenter and select
the modify schedule button. When a dialog is displayed, you can view a check box with the Apply to All Registered vCenters
message. When you select the check box and press Apply, the setting is applied to a particular vCenter that you had initially
selected and not all vCenters. The Apply to All Registered vCenters is not applicable when warranty or inventory schedule is
modified from the Job Queue page.
Resolution: Use the modify warranty or inventory schedule from the job queue only to modify the selected vCenter.
