Release Notes

Issue 2: On the application log, saved filter may not work as expected.
Description: You cannot use the saved filter on the application log successively. However, you can save or run the filter once.
Resolution: No workaround available. Usually, the application log entries are limited.
Issue 3: On the Power and Space Savings window, if you select the Consider all underutilized servers option, the servers on that
particular page is selected.
Description: After device discovery, if the number of underutilized servers is more than fifty and you try to select Consider all
underutilized servers option, all underutilized servers are not selected. The servers that appear on that specific page are selected.
Resolution: You may have to manually select the servers, instead of selecting Consider all underutilized servers option.
Limitations
Issue 1: The power graph is blank while viewing the power (or temperature) history.
Description: When viewing the power history (or temperature) of a selected group in the 15 minute/1H window, the graph is blank.
Possible cause: OpenManage Power Center has just been installed and has not collected enough data to provide a power history graph.
Resolution or workaround: It is recommended to wait as OpenManage Power Center collects appropriate data to present the graph.
Issue 2: Getting “Average inlet temperature” events on an empty group. There is no device in the group, why is the event generated?
Description: The event is generated because you set the “Min Warning threshold” or “Min critical Threshold” values, but there are
no devices present in the group. The temperature is reported as ‘0’ in an empty group, and hence the event is generated.
Resolution or workaround: This is not a recommended practice. You should only set the temperature or power threshold on groups
that contains devices.
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 do I do now?
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: Though I have edited and saved the IPMI key, the next time I open the saved IPMI profile, the key is once again displayed
as “0000…”.
Description: The key might have changed, and the you may have updated the value . 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.
To be fixed in the subsequent release which will have a warning message to ensure that 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: 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.
