Known Issues
Issue 1:
Description
"Data Source: 'EqualLogic SNMP Agent (Group Manager)' Contains Repeating 'Manager' Text in Label"
For devices containing the Data Source "EqualLogic SNMP Agent (Group Manager)", the word 'Manager'
appears repeated in label. This has no negative effects on the monitoring capabilities of the plug-in.
[DOEP-111]

Issue 2:
Description
"Duplicate Device Names Throws Repeating Key Value Error in Metric Collection"
Monitoring multiple devices with a duplicate device name is not supported by the plug-in. However, if
the plug-in is attempted to run with duplicate device names, an error will occur when attempting to
view "Devices" and "Device Details" in the Plug-in's All Metrics view. An error similar to "Result has
repeating key value ..." is displayed. [DOEP-114]

Issue 3:
Description
"Using Periods in Dell OpenManage Essentials (Home) Target Name Breaks Data Collection of Specific
Metrics"
During the Dell OpenManage Essentials target creation process, providing an instance name containing a
period will cause certain metrics in the plug-in to not be collected. [DOEP-119]
Workaround:
When configuring the Dell OpenManage Essentials plug-in, ensure that the "Instance Name" value does
not contain a period.

Limitations
The Dell OpenManage Essentials Plug-In for OEM 12c has the following limitations:
• The plug-in does not support versions of OpenManage Essentials prior to v1.3.
• Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) agent for monitoring Dell 9G to 12G hardware using
in-band mode is currently not supported on Oracle Linux operating system on a managed node. In
order to monitor such server running Oracle Linux operating system, use integrated Dell Remote
Access Controller (iDRAC) supported only with PowerEdge 12G servers.

Installation Prerequisites
For prerequisites, installation, configuration, and uninstallation related information, see the Dell

OpenManage Plug-in Version 1.0 for Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Installation Guide at
dell.com/support/manuals.
•

Client Display Requirements:
− Client display capable of 1440x852 (8:5) or 1920x1080 (16:9) or better

•

OMA System Requirements:
− 1 GB of RAM above and beyond the OMA requirement
− 2.0 GHz dual-core processor

•

OMS Software Requirements:
− OMS requires that the Oracle emcli utility installed and configured. See the Oracle Enterprise
Manager (OEM) documentation for more information.

•

Adobe Flash Plug-in:
− The Dell OpenManage Essentials Plug-in for OEM utilizes the Flash plug-in for displaying graphical

Installation Instructions
The installation procedure for installing the Dell OpenManage Essentials Plug-in for OEM 12c follows the
standard Oracle documented procedure for installing any non-Oracle OEM plug-in.
The following are the basic steps:
1. Import the .opar into the OMS.
Like other non-Oracle plug-ins, this plug-in must be imported using the emcli import_update
command. The following is an example of the command:
$ emcli import_update -file=C:\dell.em.ome_12.1.0.1.0_1.0.X.opar -omslocal
2.

Deploy plug-in to OMS
After the plug-in is uploaded to the OMS, the plug-in must then be deployed to the OMS either
through the emcli or using the "Plug-ins" page in Cloud Control.

3.

Deploy plug-in to OMA
In addition to the OMS deployment, the plug-in must also be deployed to the OMA. This, also, can be
done either through the emcli or using the "Plug-ins" page in Cloud Control.

4.

Manually add the Dell OpenManage Essentials target
The Dell OpenManage Essentials Plug-in utilizes a parent-child target structure, meaning that each
Dell device monitored from OpenManage Essentials will be a child target of an OpenManage
Essentials plug-in target.

Therefore, one (parent) OpenManage Essentials target must be manually discovered first. This
process can be completed through the 'Add Targets Manually" page in Oracle Cloud Control.
5.

Configure and run auto-discovery for device targets
After the Dell OpenManage Essentials parent target has been successfully added, the auto discovery
process may be run for the device targets. The auto discovery process can be run from the
"Configure Auto Discovery" page in Oracle Cloud Control.

6.

Promote all desired device targets
After the discovery process is complete, view the discovery results to see the targets that have been
discovered. Select all targets in this list that you want to have data collected from and then click the
Promote button.
