I am experiencing some inventory and update compliancy issues. I recently upgraded from OME 1.1 to 1.2, and have run the "Clear catalogue" patch, which did resolve the problem where compliancy was wrong in cases where BIOS 6.3.0 is installed and 6.3.0 is required. Now I am experincing a few other isues, highlighted below (The following relates to 4 R710s, all purchased at the same time last year, all running the same FW/drivers versions):
- Inconsistent information has been provided in the OME console. For example, when I look at a server's details in Manage - Devices, it shows BIOS 6.3.0 is installed. BUT this same server is uncompliant because it has BIOS 6.1.0 installed and 6.1.3 is available. I have verified that 6.3.0 IS installed. I do not know if this is an Inventory issue, as I had initiated inventory many, many times to try to resolve this over the period of a few days. How can inventory info be different for the same server in differnet lpaces within the console?
- These same servers also listed about 5 other updates available. I verified what versions of these components were installed looking in OMSA on the server, and verified that all of the other required updates were valid.
- To try to resolve the issue, I deleted these four servers from OME, and re-ran Discovery (of the DRAC and SNMP on the servers themselves.)
- Three of the four servers were re-discovered. one was not rediscovered, not sure why -- are there any logs I can look at when discovery runs to see what happens for each IP it tries to discover?
- For the three servers that were discovered, they are showing as noncompliant, BUT only that the DRAC firmware needs to be updated from v. 1.80 to 1.95. The other 4 updates that were showing up as required prior to deleting them do not show up as needed now. I have re-run Discovery and inventory on these three servers several times over the past 2 days.
- I updated the DRAC firmware on one of the servers, and it succeeded. Then it did not show up as either compliant or not compliant. 30 minutes later I looked in Manage - Devices and it was missing. I had to re-run disocvery for it to show up in Mane - Devices and in the compliancy section. its almost as if the server got deleted automatically after running the DRAC firmware update.
Another issue, with another set of servers. I discovered two R620s this morning. Neither of them showed up under the Compliant, Non-compliant, or Non-inventoried systems tabs. So I ran Discovery and Inventory again, As of now (about 2 1/2 hours later) they still do not show up under any of the complaincy tabs. Inventory has run on them, under Manage - Devices I can see all of their details such as health status, connection staus, Device Name, Model, Service tag, OS, firmware info, etc.)
