Release Notes

Resolution or workaround: Log in or ask person with admin right account to log into OpenManage
Power Center and create the account if in fact you made a mistake of deleting the account.
Issue 6: Server cannot edit the power policy on the enclosure M1000e/VRTX from static to dynamic.
Description: OMPC supports static power policy for M1000e/VRTX at the chassis level. Due to this, the
option for selecting dynamic or static power policy is unavailable.
Resolution or workaround: Select Static power policy for M1000e/VRTX.
Issue 7: Device selection is lost when navigating to another page.
Description: This is a known limitation of the OMPC UI. The UI only focusses on the current page. Any
actions such as edit or delete need to be taken on the current page for the selected devices. Otherwise,
the selection will be lost when you navigate to the next page.
Resolution or workaround: Perform the recommended tasks on devices displayed one page at a time.
Issue 8: I get a network exception error when I am trying to log in with an LDAP user account.
Description: LDAP server configuration (see Settings > Directory) is required to log in with an LDAP user
account. This issue could be caused by the network communication between LDAP and OMPC server
during the authentication process.
Resolution or workaround: Check the LDAP configuration in OpenManage Power Center setting to
make sure the IP address of LDAP server is correct.
Issue 9: The memory power is incorrect for some devices in power history window.
Description: The power history chart in device page shows abnormal reading/spikes in memory power.
Resolution or workaround: Update the iDRAC firmware to latest to solve this issue.
Issue 10: Power capability changed from Monitor and capping to None for T420 Server when we apply
the the iDRAC firmware 2.10.10.10.
Description: Eventhough T420 server have the capping capability, it will change to None if we apply
iDRAC firmware 2.10.10.10.
Resolution or workaround: Update the iDRAC firmware to latest to solve this issue.
