4 • In the Port report, the Model column refers to the model of the port. This column is not currently supported by Dell devices. (17540) • Disabling ICMP ping in Discovery Profiles can also disable the Inspect feature. Workaround: Enable ICMP Ping Devices (as it is by default). (18146) Web Client • Audit trails do not always show deleted equipment names after the device becomes unmanaged. To see such information, use Java client. (17097) • Audit Trail may show blanks for the Subject column in the Audit Trail portlet. This is because some audited tasks are targetless (No subject). (17643) • NoClassDefFoundError errors can occur during application server startup if the portal tries to access classes in the application server too soon. The portal does this if portlet calls occur during appserver startup. Workaround: Restart application server. (15854) • Adding a page when the focus is on a page with sub-pages does not save it to the menu bar. Workaround: Create pages in the Manage > Page menu or create one after selecting a page with no submenus. (15909) • In a Windows 7 environment Internet Explorer may not fully display all menu items. Workaround: Use Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari as the browser. (13320) • Exporting to Excel does not work in Internet Explorer. Workaround: Ctrl + click the Excel export button in Dell OpenManage Network Manager. (13456) • Mutlitab browsing is not supported and may produce unpredictable results. (10963) • In a job viewer window, some audit trail messages may appear too narrow to read in their entirety. Workaround(s): Enlarge the browser and the job viewer window grows bigger (maximized, you will see more of the message). The job viewer window lets you copy and paste the message text into applications like notepad for less restricted viewing and for additional message analysis. (16320) • In some cases a single managed object may be discoverable via multiple IP addresses. Each discovered IP creates a new inventory object and will count against any licensed Right To Manage total. Workaround: Network elements should be managed through a single interface/IP. Additional discovered interfaces should be deleted leaving only one managed object in inventory. (11540) • Discovery-When specifying network addresses using the Subnet type, you must specify the Network address at the beginning of the subnet since Dell OpenManage Network Manager assumes it is the starting IP address for the range. If you specify an address in the middle of the subnetwork then Dell OpenManage Network Manager may discover devices outside of that subnetwork. This also means that IP addresses in the network that precede the specified address are not discovered. To avoid these issues, use the CIDR specification of the network to discover rather that the subnet ID. (16803) • Link discovery currently does not find one-ended links. (16305) • Devices not implementing LLDP MIBs with complete and correct data will prevent OMNM from discovering links for the device. Also some devices encode STP data collected via SNMP in a way that is difficult to decipher. In

work. This also means that IP addresses in the network that precede the spec-
ified address are not discovered. To avoid these issues, use the CIDR
