Hi OME users,
It has been observed that after upgrading to the latest firmware version (iDRAC >= 2.40.40.40, M1000e CMC >= 5.2, FX2 CMC >= 1.4, VRTX CMC >= 2.2), the iDRAC or CMC displays an “unknown” status.
The latest firmware version supports TLS 1.1 as the default communication protocol. If the browser or operating system where OpenManage Essentials is installed, does not support TLS 1.1 protocol, then the device displays an “unknown” status.
To resolve this issue, see “Step 2: Verifying Dell Management Consoles” in the following KB article: http://www.dell.com/Support/Article/us/en/19/SLN302365
Note: Ensure the required registry updates are done either manually or using the “Easy Fix” described in the Microsoft support article - "Update to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as a default secure protocols in WinHTTP in Windows"
Thanks,
Vijay
