must uninstall it before installing the Connection version 3.1. If
you have version 3.0 installed, you can install version 3.1 as an
upgrade without uninstalling version 3.0 first.
######################################################################
KNOWN ISSUES
######################################################################
NOTE: This section describes only the latest known issues for the
Connection version 3.1. See "Frequently Asked Questions" in
the "Dell OpenManage Connection for HP OpenView NNM User's
Guide Version 3.1" for additional information about resolving
possible issues.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Discovery Issues
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* The discovery of Dell systems across different subnets fails if the
domain naming system (DNS) server is absent or improperly
configured.
* Systems installed with both HP OpenView NNM 6.4 and Dell OpenManage
systems management software are not reclassified as Dell managed
systems on the HP OpenView NNM submap. As a result, submap
application launch, SNMP queries, and SNMP trap generation for Dell
OpenManage systems management software are not available for these
systems.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Status and Alerting Issues
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* If a Dell-discovered system (node) in the HP OpenView NNM submap has
not been previously enumerated, an alert from that system may be
received without a corresponding change in the HP OpenView NNM
submap's global status. When this issue occurs, enumeration of the
node map (by way of a mouse-click) results in proper propagation of
the global status for this and all subsequent alerts received from
the system.
