Firmware Update for 30 Hosts through Cluster level Fails
VMware recommends clusters to be built with identical server hardware. For the firmware update at a cluster level with the
number of hosts near the limits for a cluster (recommended by VMWare) or composed of different models of Dell servers, usage
of vSphere web client is recommended.
Warranty and Inventory schedule for all vCenters is not applying
when selected under "Dell Home > Monitor > Job Queue >
Warranty/Inventory History >Schedule"
A customer navigates to the job queue page, selects a vCenter and selects the modify schedule button. When the dialog comes
up, they see a checkbox that says apply this new setting to all registered vCenters. When they select this and press Apply,
it only applies the setting to the particular vCenter they 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.
Versions Affected: 2.2 and later
I see a web communication error in the vCenter web client after
changing the DNS settings in OpenManage Integration for VMware
vCenter?
If you see any kind of web communication error in the vCenter web client while doing any OMIVV related tasks after changing
the DNS settings , clear the browser cache or logout and login from the web client.
'Settings' page fails to load, if we navigate away and go back to
‘Settings’ page
For vSphere v5.5, in the Web Client, if you navigate away and go back to the ‘Settings’ page, sometimes the page fails to load
and the spinner continues to show. This is a refresh issue and the page is not getting refreshed correctly.
Resolution: Click the global refresh and the screen will refresh correctly.
Versions Affected: 2.2 and 3.0
Why do I see “Task cannot be scheduled for the time in the
past” error in inventory schedule/Warranty schedule page of Initial
Configuration Wizard?
In the Web Client, if the user picks ‘All registered vCenters’ in the Initial Configuration wizard, and if there are some vCenters
with no hosts or vCenters where some have Inventory or Warranty task already scheduled and some with no Inventory or
Warranty schedule set yet, then the user will sometimes see an error “Task cannot be scheduled for the time in the past”.
Resolution: If you have situations where there are some vCenters with no hosts or vCenters where some have Inventory or
Warranty task already scheduled and some with no Inventory or Warranty schedule set yet, run the setting of Inventory and
Warranty schedule separately again from the Settings page for those vCenters.
Versions Affected: 2.2 and later
