Known Issues and Resolutions
● Issue 1: iDRAC might not send an event when your system reboots.

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: RPM upgrade is unsuccessful when necessary vCenter privileges are not provided.
Description: When you perform an RPM upgrade and the necessary privileges are not assigned to the vCenter user
registered with OMIVV, the RPM upgrade is unsuccessful.
Version affected: 4.0 and later
Resolution/Workaround: To successfully complete the upgrade, you can provide the Modify Cluster privilege under Host >
Inventory to the vCenter user registered with OMIVV, and then restart the OMIVV appliance.
● Issue 3: In the Welcome page of the Firmware Update wizard, the message displayed under Note is not applicable for web
client.
Description: The text displayed under the Note in the Welcome page of the Firmware Update wizard, the Run compliance
wizard for vSphere Hosts from Dell Management Center in vSphere Client is not relevant for vSphere Web client. The
text is specific to vSphere Desktop client, which is not supported for the OMIVV version 4.0.
Version affected: 4.0
Resolution/Workaround: None
● Issue 4: The Export All button fails to export to .CSV file in the Google chrome.
Description: After registering a vCenter server, if you add a host and create a connection profile, and then view the
inventory details of the host, the Export All button returns a failure. The Export All button does not export the information
to a .CSV file.
NOTE:
In all versions of the Google chrome browser, the Export All button does not export the information to a .CSV file in
Incognito mode.
Version affected: 4.0
Resolution/Workaround: To export information to a .CSV file by using the Export All button in the Google chrome, disable
the Incognito mode in chrome browser.
● Issue 5: iDRAC license type and description are displayed incorrectly for non-compliant vSphere hosts.
Description: If a host is noncomplaint when CSIOR is disabled or has not been run, the 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".
Version affected: 4.0
Resolution/Workaround: None
● Issue 6: Although deployment job fails due to inaccessible file share, the status is displayed as “Cancel”.
Description: When you create a hypervisor profile with invalid credentials such as, invalid credentials for CIFS share, and
select the same hypervisor profile for deployment, the deployment task fails. However, the status displayed in the Job
Queue page is Cancel instead of Failed.
Version affected: 3.0 and later
Resolution/Workaround: None
● Issue 7: Dell icon is not displayed after unregistering vCenter from an earlier OMIVV version and then registering same
vCenter with a later OMIVV version.
Description: If you unregister an earlier OMIVV version with vCenter server, and then register a later OMIVV version with
the same vCenter server, there is an entry in the vsphere-client-serenity folder, which is old data from the earlier OMIVV
version. Hence, the Dell icon is not displayed after registering the later OMIVV version as old data specific to the earlier
OMIVV version exists in the vsphere-client-serenity folder of the vCenter appliance.
