Release Notes

systems which have DNS-DHCP IP addressing and for which the IP

addresses frequently change. To eliminate a duplicate device delete

the device with the old IP address. (148069)

* IT Assistant will discover a Remote Access Controller under the

RAC group only if IT Assistant can communicate out-of-band

(bypassing the operating system) with the SNMP agent on the

controller. DRAC III (and below), do not have this capability,

and hence are not grouped under the RAC group. DRAC 4

(and later) support out-of-band communication with the SNMP agent

are discovered under the RAC group. (151535)

* The choice of protocols specified for discovering and managing the

devices can result in varying levels of manageability. For

instance, if you choose to manage devices in your network using

only CIM and not SNMP, the devices with only SNMP agent (example

DRAC) are classified under "Unknown" group and consequently, the

application launch (example RAC console) functionality may not

work. To avoid such issues, make a careful choice of the protocols

while configuring discovery ranges, keeping in mind the devices

(and protocols supported by agents running on those devices) that

you are going to manage. (153729)

* If you change Web server properties (like the HTTPS port and

session timeout) that require the Web server to be restarted

after applying changes, you have to manually restart the "IT

Assistant Connection Service" under "Administrative Tools" in the

"Control Panel." If you fail to restart the service manually, the

Web server will continue with the old settings. (152604, 152476)

* The processor count in IT Assistant will differ for managed systems

that contain processors with multiple cores or hyperthreading

enabled. The count will differ based on whether the managed system

is discovered using the CIM or SNMP protocol. The systems

discovered using SNMP will report physical processors, and the

systems discovered using CIM will report logical processors.

* After the Java Runtime (JRE) is installed, if you change the OS

language of the system from where the IT Assistant UI is run

(from the Regional and Language Options settings), the JRE might

fail to load using the new OS language and exit during the IT

Assistant startup. For the language changes to be supported by the

JRE, un-install JRE and then launch IT Assistant. This will install

the JRE with support for the new OS language.
