Issue 3: Getting event “Power returns to normal”, but the server is in the lost connection state
Description: I got an alert that the average power usage exceeds the set threshold, and then I
got an alert that “Power returns to normal”, but when checking the server, I find that the server
is in the “lost connection” state. What is going on?
The reason you had a “Power returns to normal” message is because OpenManage Power
Center cannot communicate with the server to collect power data on the power usage
threshold due to the “lost connection” issue.
Resolution or workaround: The message is misleading; however, when getting the “lost
connection” alert, Dell recommends that you analyze and re-establish the connection with
OpenManage Power Center first. Once the server is connected, OpenManage Power Center
collects the required power data and then reports the status or sends the appropriate event
alert.
Issue 4: Although I have edited and saved the IPMI key, the next time I open the saved IMPI
profile, the key is once again displayed as “0000…”.
Description: The key has actually been changed and saved as the value that you entered.
However, while the display should read the value as “xxxx…” as the key is encrypted, the
encrypted key is instead displayed as “0000….”. There is no difference between the display
“0000….” and “xxxx…”.
Resolution or workaround: N/A
Issue 5: OMPC does not provide a warning when I delete my own LDAP account
Description: I logged into OpenManage Power Center with my LDAP account, and then
deleted the LDAP account in the user management settings screen, but OpenManage Power
Center did not provide a warning that was deleting the account I was using to log in.
We will implement a fix for this in next release a warning to make sure you aware that you are
deleting the current-user account.
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: Cannot edit the power policy on the enclosure M1000e/VRTX from static to dynamic
Description: OMPC only support static power policy for M1000e/VRTX at the chassis level. Due
to this OMPC will grey out the option for selecting dynamic or static power policy.
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: Carry out needed tasks on devices displayed one page at a time.
