I get the following error on a few of my servers when trying to update from OME. They were discovered and inventoried by iDrac. A few of the servers update no problem, other few just get the error below. This happens when trying to run any update, such as an iDRAC update from 3.50 to 3.60. I am able to manually run the updates through the CMC just fine, but would love to be able to make use of OME. Any input?

Thanks

I installed OM administrator on two host servers that are running 5.6 xenserver. I also enable SMNP on both servers called Xenhost. I used the OpenManage troubleshooting tool to test the SMNP and Services. I get no errors and I can see the host fine. But when I add them to OpenManage Essentials in the discovery and inventory and it sees them both. But under the devices tab I only see the one that I inventoried last. I check that the Mac addresses are different. Is there anything else that I’m missing? I looking to roll this out across all my servers. I even tried two different SNMP names and two different discovery groups.

I've installed OME and RepoMan on the same server. Open RepoMan in Server mode, try to create new repository for OME.

Start the wizard, make it to the Summary, click finish, and get this error every time:

Error retrieving inventory from Dell OpenManage Essentials

The servers and models show up correctly on the System Inventory step of the wizard, but always fail on the actual import.

I have two DRAC devices added to OME. OME is pulling all of the system information, it shows everything about the host, and shows them as Inventoried. However, when I go to the System Update tab, it still lists the two devices under the Non-Inventoried Systems tab.

I have two other DRAC devices that are in the same group and inventory fine. I am not sure why.

OS = up to date 2012R2 server std, all pre-requisites OK

The server is also running PRTG (network monitoring) that hosts a website on port 443

The install (OME_1_3_A01.exe) runs Ok to start with, but looks to take a little extra time at the end when publishing to IIS, it then goes ahead and uninstall everything. I have also tried to "run as admin". It then goes on to roll everything back. 

I really want to install on this server as SNMP info is send to the server IP.

Does anyone know a way to send critical OME alerts to a text file? Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards.

Hi Community,

we are using OMSA 7.4 on an CentOS 5.7 Distribution. In OMSA all system indicators are green. Now i have made an inventory of the system in OME 1.3. But the System Health Status is grey (?). What can i do to get a green system status. I already configured snmp but that don't work.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have a customer who is concerned about the "DSM BMU SOL Proxy" service that is part of Openmanage Essentials.
The security department  in his company has established that no telnet services are allowed to run on servers and this one has a telnet server.

Is it possible to make it work over ssh?
Otherwise, what gets impacted of Openmanage Essentials functionalities if the "DSM BMU SOL Proxy" services gets stopped and disabled?

Thanks

We are getting quite a number of System Events omeAlertSystemDown emails. Watching the dashboard you can see these are closely followed by a system up. These are obviously caused by a timeout. What can I do to reduce the incidents of these false alerts?

Thanks

HI,

After my OME installation, the default update method was "idrac".

When try to update some servers, certain update was not able to be pushed via idrac (example : composant "Physical disk" firmware, file "Sas-drive_firmware_5CX8G_WIN32_DE09_A04.EXE")

I I tried to change the default update method to OMSA , and now I can see "prefered update method  : OMSA", but on the list of server sthat need to be updated, the column "update method" stay as "idrac" for each server (sorry I translate, as my OME is in french), and the disk firmware update still say me it will not be applied because it need to be done with OMSA method.

Same thing if I delete my server then record it again. Do you know how to definitively change the update method to OMSA?

The discovery of the method was done by ws-man.

OME version : 1.3.0.1533

Another questions:

1) I have some drac5, is snmp the only way to discover them? I yes I guess there is no possibility to update them with OME?

2) about the email alerts : Is it possible to have en email each time a new component is detected?

                                               is it possible to have an email alert when  new update need to be applied on servers?

                                               is it possible to have an email alert when a new catalog is available from dell?

Thx a lot

Hi guys

I am installing Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell R300, but I can't seem to find the OMSA that goes with it. I went to the driver support page (http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/poweredge-r300/drivers) and all the OMSA installation files are for Windows, not Ubuntu. 

Can someone help me find the Ubuntu version?

Thank

Davy

Hello,

I am having problems trying to upgrade some of the firmware on one of our servers using Openmanage Essentials 1.3. Here is some information on the server:

• Dell PowerEdge R720xd
• iDRAC Version: 1.7
• OS: ESXi 5.1.0

The first thing I did was make sure the following was up-to-date on the server:

• Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller: 1.57.57
• Lifecycle Controller: 1.4.2.12

The above two updates installed fine.

Openmanage detected the following as being outdated for Firmware:

• Intel(R) Gigabit 4P I350-t rNDC 
• Physical Disk 0:1:16
• Power Supply Slot 1
• BIOS
• Controller Card

When I deploy the update to the above, I first get a message saying that the Physical Disk cannot be updated through IDrac. Ok, no problem. The other 4 showed up so I kicked off the firmware upgrade. In the end, the job showed up as failing, but some of the components upgraded successfully (Controller and BIOS). The Power Supply and NIC did not upgrade successfully, but I am not getting much information regarding why it failed. Below is the log:

I had another server (R720) which needed different firmware:

• BIOS
• 2 Controller Cards
• Same NIC Firmware as the previous server

All of the above applied successfully to the DRAC.

Any thoughts as to why the Power Supply and NIC firmware didn't apply properly to my first server?

Thanks,

Adam

Does OpenManage Essentials only run in Windows Server 2008?  Is there a version that will run on Linux?  We don't run Windows Servers in our environment.

What are the feature set differences between configuring a device in OpenManage Essentials (OME) using just the iDRAC versus using just the OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) client when monitoring a server remotely?

The servers being monitored are all Ubuntu 14.04 using version 1.3 of OME running on Windows Server.

Hello,

I tried to export CSV file from discovery on OME 1.3 and i tried to import it on other OME 1.3 server.

Error message appears in attachments.

No domain controller is configured on my company.

Please let me know how you can export CSV file for discovery and import it in other OME server.

Thanks a lot,
