Issue 4 During manual discovery, few components goes to nonexistence mode after metric collection failures. Description: Dell highly recommends using auto discovery. If Administrator decides to use manual discovery as the discovery method, then whenever the extended metric collection or the health metric collection fails for any server or chassis, the components may become nonexistent in consecutive data collection cycles. Resolution: User has to rediscover the server or change to auto discovery mode.
Description: When an extended monitoring is enabled, and on receiving an alert from chassis which triggers health metrics, fails. Root Cause: This issue is seen for chassis legacy traps. When the trap is received, it maps with an event along with chassis service tag which is sent to the Health metrics job. Since there is a mismatch in the mapping, health metrics displays an incorrect message. Impact: OMMP chassis health metrics value is not updated on receiving alert from chasis.
