Owners Manual

Supported Dell Equipment 50
Changes: below outline the changes for devices using firmware 9.4 and later. You
may also have to perform manual tasks after upgrade. These are described below.
If you are installing this version fresh (non upgrade) you can ignore these
Changes.
Changes:
- Device models change from name Dell FTOS <model name> to Dell Networking
<model name>
- OS images change from Dell Force10 to Dell FTOS
- Because of the name change, some groups and filters in previous packages will
not be fully functional for devices on 9.4 or later firmware. To resolve this, the
upgrade adds new groups to pick up both the pre 9.4 and post 9.4 firmware.
These group changes are mapped old to new. (These are in the Group Manager
Portlet)
- This change impacts one seeded filter in the Filter Manager: The Dell Force10
Devices filter is now Dell Networking C/E/M/S/Z Series
- The legacy groups still exist after upgrade. By default OMNM does not preset
any objects with these dynamic groups, old or new. You must manually update
any OMNM features using the old dynamic group. You need to change this
group manually only where a Dynamic group is a filter criterion. If you have
not used dynamic groups or if you have already corrected for the new groups,
best practice is to delete all of the old groups noted above.
The Reports portlet contains a good example. If you edit the Inventory Asset
Report, a Resource Groups section appears at the bottom. If you click add you will
see variety of Dynamic groups you can add to limit the scope of the asset report.
Other options to add dynamic groups appear if you click the Filter tab at the top.
Other Applications allowing dynamic groups appear listed below. Any User-
defined dynamic groups must be updated.
Resource Manager
Container manager
Proscan
Performance monitors – You must update monitor options for each monitor if
you use user-defined dynamic groups before updating your software.
