Page 3 highlights

3 -User Names / Passwords, and User Groups (Roles) are not automatically reassigned and must be created manually. -Group Operations have been deprecated, replaced by Adaptive CLI. -Command monitors must be reconfigured to refer to Adaptive CLIs, which now can refer to external scripts. (18693) • Upgrading from previous versions may update device Model numbers. After upgrade is complete, you may need to edit pre-existing filters that refer to model numbers for them to function correctly. Also after the upgrade is complete, the model numbers for Powerconnect B-Series fabric devices may not change until you perform a resync on them. (18794) • Checking Allow Strangers to create accounts may produce a defective login screen. (17364) • CORBA is no longer supported, but SOAP and Web Services have improved, and CORBA orbs often support these. (11513) • Microsoft Windows 2008 Terminal Server is not supported. The installer becomes non-responsive with Data Execution Prevention enabled. This option is disabled by default on Windows Server 2008, but is enabled on a Windows Server 2008 machine running Terminal Server. (02310) • During uninstall on Windows 2008 Server, the uninstaller Java process does not exit correctly. This leaves files on the machine. Workaround: Either manually kill the Java process in the task manager or restart the system. It is safe to remove the remaining files after the process has been terminated. (14089) • After upgrading, Users may not initially appear associated to their roles, but you can work around this apparent failure by clicking Update Associations. This is in the Roles portion of the Control Panel. Click Actions > Assign Members, then click the Update Associations button on the following screen. Alternatively, you can go to the Server Administration portion of the Control Panel and click Execute to Reindex all search indexes. (19876) • Discovery fails when switching a device Authentication from SNMPv3 MD5 to SNMPv3 SHA. Work around: Discover the device, then delete it. Switch authentications from MD5 to SHA in the discovery profile. Rediscover the device. Because of the different users, the SNMP stack lets the request go through with correct user/authentication. (19409) • Device links to themselves may appear as squares surrounding the device in "Visualize my network" screens. (18718) • The Organization User in Roles has no description. Its features are covered in the online help and User Guide. (18669) • Dell OMNM drops SNMP V3 traps when the V3 traps auth (userid) is unknown. Workaround: Use an SNMP monitor, for example polling sysUptime, to get data from the device. Once this occurs, the proper auth is then known and Dell OMNM accepts the trap. (18574) • Installation may display a JBoss null pointer exception ZipEntryContext error. This stems from a bug in JBoss 5.1, and is benign. (18612) • Internet Explorer has a problem importing MIBs. Workaround: Use a different browser to import MIBs. (HD-376)
