Do Not Install Downgrades
—While this application supports an upgrade
from a previous version, it does not support installing an older version over a
newer one. (2398)
• In addition to any licensing limitations, the IP Address filtering in discovery
currently does not support an IP Range of more than 1000 IP addresses.
The
filter limits the query to starting the starting IP address in the range and 999
more addresses. (1995)
• You may be unable to edit a Task after making Schema (attribute) changes.
Workaround:
Create a new Task to replace the one you are editing, and make
the attribute changes to it. (2202)
• When you set
No. of failed cycles
to two or larger in the Heartbeat function,
the
Device Down
alarm does not appear, even if the device does not respond.
(2208)
• Link discovery does not find OSPF links. (2200)
• Occasionally, when you invoke a help screen, a benign error appears in the
client shell (
EOFException: no more data available
). You can safely
ignore this. (1897)
• Currently in this application manages Device Authentication Configurations
separately from User Groups. When you copy a user group like Administra-
tors, the User Group manager does not coordinate Device Authentication
Configurations that refer to the Administrators group.
• For a new User Group to have access to existing devices you must manually
add them to the approved groups list in the Authentication Configuration.
(1493)
• Cannot start application server manually.
Workaround:
Install with applica-
tion server installed as a process (so it starts with Process monitor) or go to
\Dell\OpenManage\Network Manager\oware\bin\owcommonfunctions
,
and modify the section starting
GetServerVMHeapSize
to
set
MaxPermSize=128m
(1831)
• The Discovery Wizard sticks at
Select Devices to be discovered
panel if a device is
marked licensed -> No and you check the box indicating the device is to be
saved.
Workaround:
Unselect the check box. (Note: this may only happen
when
Other
is licensed and the actual device's license is not enabled.) (1536)
• If you do not shut down clients before restarting application servers, warn-
ings like the following appear in the application server log/shell:
2009-01-08 10:58:35,425 WARN
[org.jboss.ha.framework.interfaces.HAPartition.APP-T1000Partition]
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ServerStatus not bound
(1237)
For Windows XP, you must install service pack 3, and installing .NET v. 3 is
strongly recommended, particularly if you are monitoring the performance of
Windows equipment.
• Upgrade / Data Migration Fails—If an upgrade installation fails with the mes-
sage with the
app_setup.log
error
Connecting to database...>>>>>
ERROR: OWSessionIDRDBMS : Failed to make database connection
, the
problem is that the database is not running on the host being upgraded. To
cure this problem, manually start the database, and then re-try the upgrade
