When discovering HA Clusters, the cluster name may replace the name of the active cluster node. To avoid this, do not include the cluster IP address in the discovery range.
After a Network Discovery task is run in which the system described above is targeted, a second resource entry is created for that system. Ideally, there should only be one resource for this system. However, the Altiris Agent does not provide enough information about the system for DMC to detect the duplicate devices thus creating the situation described above. Issue 68: Inventory for Brocade Switches shows incorrect details.
Issue 77: Dell Web Server (DWS) Configuration is not supported for Linux targets in OMSA 6.1. As a consequence configuring DWS using either the DWS Configuration Task or the OpenManage Command Line Interface (OMCLI) task on Linux targets will cause the task to fail. Due to an issue in the task framework with Linux targets, these tasks when executed against Linux targets take a long time (~1 hour) to show the failure.
Corrected Problems The following problems were reported in earlier releases of Dell Management Console and have been corrected in this release: Issue 1: DMC media now contains Symantec Installation Manager (SIM) that will be pointing to online Dell private product listing by default. An internet connection is required to download and install DMC (MSIs).Description Issue 2: DMC media shall not carry any third party libraries/files such as Microsoft .NET 3.
