1. Q: Can I upgrade my OME 1.0 Open Evaluation installation to the new OME 1.0.1 version?
A: Yes. When OME 1.0.1 ships, you will be able to easily install it over your 1.0 Open Evaluation instance.
2. Q: I cannot install OpenManage Essentials using a remote SQL Database Named instance?
A: SQL Server with named instances requires 'SQL Server Browser' service to be running to connect remotely.
3. Q: Will OpenManage Essentials support SQL Server 'evaluation' edition?
A: No, SQL Server 'evaluation' edition is not supported because this is a prerelease version.
4. Q: What if I see this error when I launch the console – "HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error the requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid."
A: Remove/Disable the XPress compression scheme from the configuration using the command below:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
Add an attribute of "precondition= "64bitness" for this module entry so that it loads only in 64bit application pools.
5. Q: What if IPMI is disabled after installing BMC Utility?
A: Try restarting DSM Essentials Network Monitor Service, DSM Essentials Task Manager service and restart IIS.
6. Q: How do I change OME web service/console port after OME installation?
A: After OME installation, follow these steps:
- From Start->Run, type "regedit" and hit "Enter" to open Windows registry.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Wow6432Node->Dell Computer Corporation->Dell OpenManage Essentials->Connection Service
- Update "ConsolePort" on the right hand side.
- Launch Start->Administrative Tools->Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
- Navigate to <SystemName>->Sites->OpenManage Essentials
- Right click on "OpenManage Essentials" and click "Edit Bindings".
- Edit https port number "2607".
- Restart OME Netmon, Task manager and IIS services
Note: Please do not modify http port number either in registry or IIS.
7. Q: Installation of OME takes longer on Windows 2008 SP2 X64bit. Why?
A: Installation of IIS roles services takes longer to install on Windows 2008 SP2 X64bit which causes OME installation time to increase.
1. Q: What troubleshooting can I do if a software update task or remote task fails to be created or executed?
A: Make sure DSM Essentials Task Manager service is running in Windows services.
2. Q: Why am I not receiving emails after setting up email alert action?
A: If you have an Antivirus Client installed on your system, you will need to configure it to allow emails.
3. Q: Does OME support Power control options for 8G servers?
A: Yes, Power ON (option available in Server Power Options Task), and Power OFF (option available when used in IPMI command line task, in Arguments field use: chassis power off) works on 8G servers with BMC.
Note: If the 8G server has a DRAC4 over BMC, make sure the DRAC4 IP is pingable in Troubleshoot tool using IPMI protocol. If the RMCP ping fails, the power tasks will likely be failing. This simple check will also help to know if the connection to the RAC devices for any generation server is passed.
4. Q: Why does the update using iDRAC taking a long time?
A: Check your credentials. Wrong credentials may cause OME to wait for communication timeout which will result in failed task after the timeout period. If you are updating 10+ devices with wrong credentials it may take up to 2-3 hours before reporting failure.
5. Q: How can I stop command Line task with single target?
A: A task with only one device cannot be stopped once the execution has started.
6. Q: Why does the OME Task Manager crash when the username used has a \p in remote tasks. For example: veggie\pizza.
A: This is a limitation in OME parsing logic. The workaround is to create and use a username that does not have a \p in it.
1. Q: What troubleshooting can I do if a discovery task fails to be created or executed?
A: Make sure DSM Essentials Task Manager service is running in Windows services
2. Q: Why are devices discovered with WMI getting classified as Unknown?
A: WMI discovery will classify a device as unknown when the credentials for a user account in the Administrators group (not Administrator) are supplied for the discovery range in some cases.If you are seeing this issue, read the following KB article and apply the registry work around described therein.
So far, this applies to managed nodes with Windows Server 2008 R2.http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;951016
3. Q. My ESXi servers are getting classified as unknowns.
A: If you are using ESXi 5.0 update 1, please install OM 7.0 VIB available at
You can also try increasing the timeout (setting to 10) and retry (setting to 4) values in the WS-MAN page for discovery wizard.
4. Q. My ESXi servers after few days of monitoring, becomes unknown
A: VMware has identified an issue affecting VMware ESXi 5.0x and 5.1x where CIM monitoring applications fail to authenticate with "No space left on device" error in /var/log/syslog.log:
This issue can cause previously discovered systems to move to an unknown status, fail to discover, or not show in both OpenManage Essentials (OME) and Dell Management Plugin for VMware vCenter (DMPVV).
The current workaround is to issue "/etc/init.d/wsman restart" on the ESXi host shell.While a permanent solution to this issue has not been identified by VMware as of 13 March 2013, the following steps can be followed to create a persistent cron job to restart the wsman service once a day.
Add the following to /etc/rc.local (for ESXi 5.1 systems edit: /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh):
# Added by Dell to add cronjob for restarting wsman 12:15 AM/PM
/bin/kill $(cat /var/run/crond.pid)
/bin/echo '15 0,12 * * * /etc/init.d/wsman restart' >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
/bin/busybox crond
Execute auto-backup.sh (sh /sbin/auto-backup.sh) after making edits.
Reboot the system.
On reboot "cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root" should show:
#min hour day mon dow command
1 1 * * * /sbin/tmpwatch.py
1 * * * * /sbin/auto-backup.sh
0 * * * * /usr/lib/vmware/vmksummary/log-heartbeat.py
*/5 * * * * /sbin/hostd-probe
15 0,12 * * * /etc/init.d/wsman restart
NOTE: In previous releases of ESXi, you could add custom commands in /etc/rc.local which would automatically execute after all startup scripts have finished. With the latest release of ESXi 5.1, this functionality has been moved to /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh.
5. Q: What is the most important thing to know about Discovery?
A: You must install Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (aka OMSA) on all of the PowerEdge Servers that you want to discover and manage using SNMP protocol. OMSA can be installed from the OME console.
You can also discover PowerEdge Servers using WMI without OMSA installed. Your servers will not be classified as a "Dell Computer", but rather, "Unknown" or just "Computer". Management capabilities in OpenManage Essentials are limited if OMSA is not installed.
6. Q: Why do my Servers appear under the "Unknown" node in the device tree?
A: Systems discovered with SNMP only, and without OMSA installed on them, will be classified as "Unknown" and displayed under the "Unknown" device group. If you have confirmed that OMSA is correctly installed on the managed node, then check the SNMP settings.
Note: SNMP community strings are *case sensitive*.
Bring up services.msc on the managed node and go to the properties page for "SNMP Service".
On the Security tab, there is a radio button for "Accept SNMP Packets from any host" and "...packets from these hosts". You need to be sure and specify your OME server here, or select the radio button for "any host".
If you select "any host" consult the Microsoft documentation for any security implications.
For Linux machines, make sure to run '/etc/init.d/dataeng enablesnmp' followed by '/etc/init.d/dataeng restart'
Finally, the Dell Troubleshooting Tool, installed as part of OME, is very useful in helping with Discovery problems.
Run the "Services" test as well from the Troubleshooting tool and see if you are finding the following entry in the test result
These are OMSA services running on the remote box. If these entries are present in the result and if you are allowed to restart these services on that remote production system, Please do. Services can restarted from the service manager (Service names are prefixed with "DSM SA")
7. Q: Are there any considerations when trying to discover servers that have Windows 2008 as the operating system?
A: When using SNMP, in order to discover a system that is running Windows Server 2008, the "Network discovery" feature must be enabled.
Perform the following steps to enable "Network discovery" on the target Server:
- Navigate to the target system's Control Panel
- Select "Network and Sharing Center"
- In the "Sharing and Discovery" section, set "Network discovery" to "On"
8. Q: Looking at my systems, I see "System Is Down" for a server - can you tell me how this is determined? And also, how often is it re-checked?
A: The connection state shows 'ON or 'OFF' under device summary table in the LHS. When the system /device is removed from the network either power off or NIC cable removed then the state for the system is shown as 'system is down'. Basically when the server is not pingable we see server as down. By default polling for connection state is 1 hour. User has option to configure the frequency of polling.
9. Q: What troubleshooting can I do if a server is showing up as unknown or not returning inventory data even after SNMP is enabled and OMSA is installed on the target server?
A: Make sure DSM SA Data Manager Service is running in Windows services on the target server. If it is stopped, restart the service and re-run the inventory task.
10. Q: How should I discover my EqualLogic storage array?
A: EqualLogic arrays are discovered with the SNMP v2 protocol. So in your OME discovery wizard, choose SNMP along with the appropriate 'read' community string. Also, you should include the IP address of the EqualLogic Group and IP addresses for all the members in the discovery range.
11. Q: Why is the iDRAC 6 IP address shown as 0.0.0.0 in OME?
A: If the iDRAC firmware version on the Rack/Tower servers is <= 1.70 and on Modular servers is <= 3.30, the IP address is returned as 0.0.0.0.
Please update the iDRAC firmware on Rack/Tower servers to 1.80 and on modular servers to 3.30, to resolve this issue.
12. Q: I have VRTX devices discovered in OME versions prior to 1.2, but when upgrading to version 1.2 they do not show up under VRTX group in the device tree. How can I fix this?
A: Delete the devices from the device tree and then re-run discovery/inventory on the proper ranges to appropriately classify the VRTX devices in the VRTX device group.
13. Q: Why is my EqualLogic blade device not classified under the Modular group?
A: Make sure the chassis service tag in EqualLogic is populated for that to be classified under Modular group.
14. Q: Why does the discovery of PC 8132 with FW version: 184.108.40.206 take more than 2 minutes?
A: This is a known issue with this firmware. Please update to the latest firmware if available.
15. Q: Why is KVM 4332DS not getting classified under KVM?
A: Update the KVM to the latest firmware (version 1.16 or later ) to classify it correctly.
16. Q: Why are my iDRACs are being deleted and re-added during a long discovery and inventory?
A: To enable the DNS iDRAC<>Server name correlation, the discovery name resolution was changed from DNS to NetBIOS. As a result servers and iDRACs that are initially discovered correctly, upon subsequent inventory and discovery, are removed and re-added to the GUI. There is no other impact to the device list. When discovery completes, all iDRACs are correctly re-added.
17. Q: DSA (LASSO) collection of logs from EqualLogic group upon receiving an event is either not proper, or, is incomplete. Why?
A: Discover EqualLogic storage groups using the Group Management or Storage Group IP address only, and not include any of the member IP addresses in the discovery range configuration.
18. Q: What troubleshooting can I do if tasks such as OMSA deployment, iDRAC Service Module deployment, or system update fail with an "invalid package signature" error?
A: Install the VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5 certificate on the server running OpenManage Essentials.
19 Q: Why does my Dell Server appear in the OEM device group?
A: It is possible that the firmware on your Dell Server is returning an invalid or blank model type when queried. You may need to perform a Lifecycle Controller wipe option, using winrm from a computer on the same network. Below is the command.
Note: The LifeCycle Controller wipe operation is *destructive*. This might wipe out your iDRAC License key so export it first so you can restore it later. Or be prepared to request a new iDRAC License key through your support portal or via phone. If you are uncomfortable with this operation or have any questions please contact Dell Support before proceeding.
winrm i LCWipe http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_LCService?SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem+CreationClassName=DCIM_LCService+SystemName=DCIM:ComputerSystem+Name=DCIM:LCService -u:[iDRAC_root] -p:[iDRAC_PWD] -r:https://[iDRAC_IP]/wsman -SkipCNcheck -SkipCAcheck -encoding:utf-8 -a:basic
If successful, you will get a ReturnValue of 0. The iDRAC will no longer be accessible for a few minutes. After about 5 minutes you will hear all of the fans spin up to max RPM and stay there for a bit. When they calm down, the iDRAC will be back to a default state with an IP address of 192.168.0.120.
Then reboot your server, so that server inventory (CSIOR) is run on restart. If CSIOR is not enabled, you need to enable it in the LifeCycle Controller options. Then re-run OME discovery in order to re-categorize the server in the device tree.
20. Q: I am unable to discover idrac/chassis/ESXi servers using WSMAN protocol. Why?
A: Check if the devices have valid certificates installed. If the certificate used for WSMAN communication is expired or not yet valid, then OME will not be able to discover the device.
21. Q: The devices in Device tree disappears during discovery. Why?
A: This happens when there are duplicate MAC addresses and is seen when virtual devices have MAC address that contain only 16 zeros. To fix this issue
1. Open dconfig.ini located in SysMgt\Essentials\configuration
2. Edit the following line PRIVATE_MAC_EXCLUDE_LIST to
3. Save and restart OME services
Note: To edit dconfig file, the user should have administrative privileges on the OS. Also make a backup copy of dconfig.ini file before making changes.
22. Q: Why does the iDRAC or CMC display an "unknown" status after upgrading to the latest firmware version?
A: With the latest iDRAC or CMC firmware (iDRAC >= 22.214.171.124, M1000e CMC >= 5.2, FX2 CMC >= 1.4, VRTX CMC >= 2.2), TLS 1.1 is the default communication protocol. If your 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: https://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".
1. Q: What troubleshooting can I do if an inventory task fails to be created or executed?
A: Make sure DSM Essentials Task Manager service is running in Windows services.
2. Q: What do I need to do if I do not see any inventory data for a Dell Server running ESXi 5.0?
A: To properly discover, inventory and classify a Dell Server running ESXi 5.0 you must install OpenManage Offline Bundle and VIB 6.5 A02 from Dell Support which will be available in Q4 2011.
3. Q: How do I update the inconsistent data seen in the device details and Modular Enclosure Information report for a PowerEdge VRTX CMC (chassis management controller), after performing discovery and inventory using WS-Man when all the server slots of the chassis are empty?
A: PowerEdge VRTX only reports data for server slots with a modular server present and does not report any data for empty server slots.
OME does not update the inventory of a device if no changes are seen in the existing data for the device. Since empty server slots in the VRTX chassis are not reported, OME does not see any updated data for the VRTX CMC inventory and thus does not update the device inventory details.
This behavior is not seen if the PowerEdge VRTX chassis has at least one modular server present at the time of inventory.The Modular Enclosure Information report may show a row with empty values for Slot Number, Slot Name columns and "Unknown" value for the Slot Availability column when the PowerEdge VRTX chassis is discovered and inventoried while all the server slots are empty.
In order to show the most current device inventory details of an empty PowerEdge VRTX chassis, you must remove the instance of the device from the device tree and re-discover and inventory the IP address or hostname of the CMC in question.
4. Q: Why does the PCIe Information and Virtual Adapter Information table in the PowerEdge VRTX device details page continue to show the server name of a modular server that has been removed from the VRTX chassis, after the CMC has been re-inventoried?
A: The device details of a PowerEdge VRTX modular chassis will not update successfully if the VRTX Chassis Management Controller is re-inventoried when all the chassis server slots are empty.
This behavior will impact data tables which show association of the modular server slots to the PowerEdge VRTX chassis resources, such as the PCIe Information, Virtual Adapter Information and Virtual Disk Access Policy Information tables. To update these tables to reflect the correct data, in this scenario, the instance of the VRTX CMC must be removed from the device tree and re-discovered and inventoried.
5. Q: Why is the output power supply shown as 0 watts in the PowerSupply info table for my server with a cabled PSU?
A: For servers with cabled PSU, the output power supply info will be shown as 0 watts. E.g.: T430 server.
1. Q: Does OMSA need to be installed on a server to retrieve health status?
A: For servers discovered via WMI where OMSA is not installed and running, health status will only be what the OS provides. For maximum hardware health status you should install OMSA.
2. Q: Why does OME show power supply health as Normal when the redundant power supply has lost an AC power source?
A: This is the issue with Server Administrator version 6.x. To avoid this issue, please install/upgrade to Server Administrator version 7.0 or higher.
3. Q: Why is Device count and Rollup health showing 0 when REST API command is used for a group marked hidden in the OpenManage Essentials Console?
A: The REST API used to return information about a Device Group ( <base-uri>/DeviceGroups/ ) should not be used on device groups that are marked hidden in the OpenManage Essentials console.The information returned using this command is not correct since the data for a hidden device group is inaccessible.
4. Q: Why is my PowerConnect W series switch not showing device health?
A: The health attribute is only available if the PowerConnect W switch is in the master role.
1. Q: I can't load a Dell catalog for software update or am getting errors when trying to run software update tasks, what might be the problem?
A: First, try downloading the catalog to the OpenManage Essentials system directly or use an SUU DVD in the local system drive.
- Browse for catalog.xml file on the local system or DVD (not on a file share.
It is possible to use a file share, but for troubleshooting, do not use file share)
- Load catalog and verify it shows as loaded in OpenManage Essentials. You may also wish to try using the FTP download to get the latest catalog for troubleshooting purposes if you can't load other catalogs.
- Now create software update tasks. If tasks fail, more information can be found in the task details.
- Try setting all internet explorer security settings to LOW if tasks will not run when executed.
2. Q: What do I need to do if Linux servers show under 'Non--Inventoried systems' even after I performed inventory on the discovered Linux servers 'N' number of times?
A: For RHEL 5.5, SLES10 and SLES11
1. Mount OMSA6.5 DVD in the Linux server.
2. Install 'srvadmin-cm' rpm.
3. Restart OMSA services.
4. Make sure OMSA inventory collector is working fine(Run ./invcol -outc=/home/inv.xml from /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/invcol location).
5. Re-inventory the Linux server in OME.
Now the Linux server will be either listed under 'Compliant systems' or 'Non-Compliant systems'.
3. Q: What order are packages installed on a system?
A: Packages are applied in the following order.- Driver- Firmware- Firmware ES- BIOS- Application
4. Q: What do I need to do when I see this error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation." when performing a catalog import task?
A: The user needs to modify the permissions of the folder on the network share to allow the local user access. When you are in a workgroup and not on a domain, access to a network share will be restricted so if you need to utilize a network share you will need to make sure OME is running on a machine on a domain.
The OpenManage Essentials user has to be authenticated on the domain and the network share has to be authenticated on that domain as well.
When using Repository manager as you catalog source make sure that the packages associated with the RM generated catalog are present in the same folder as the catalog.
If the packages are not present in that folder you would see an invalid path result for the packages.
5. Q: How do I configure Internet Explorer with Enhanced Security Configuration to ensure OpenManage Essentials can utilize all features that use resources from Dell Online?
A: To insure that these features work in the Dell Open Manage Essentials console on an environment with Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration enabled.
The user needs to add *.dell.com to the Trusted sites zone.Import Catalog and System Update require internet access when the user selects Dell Online as the source.
The warranty report also uses Dell Online resources to retrieve information and also will not return data without it.
6. Q: When I try to run system updates in OME I get the following error- "Access to path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\Essentials\SystemUpdate is denied".
A: This is due to Windows 2008 R2 folder restrictions in the program files directory.
Open folder – C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\Essentials\In the Essentials folder make a new folder named: SystemUpdate
- Right Click
– SystemUpdate folder
- Select Properties
- Select Security tab
- Click Edit
- Select Users
- Select Full control
- Click OK
- Click OK
Then recreate the update task.
7. Q: Why does System update task show as failed in spite of successfully updating the server?
A: After executing the software update task which requires target server to be restarted, if target server does not come up within 30 minutes the task will show as failed in spite of successfully updating the server. In that case you will have to run the inventory for the server separately to see the updated version on inventory page and compliance report.
8. Q: Why am I not seeing software inventory for a server or why does the server show up in the non-inventory state even though I executed an inventory task against it?
A: Do the following:Make sure OMSA is installed the server.
Check: C:\Program Files\Dell\SysMgt\oma\log
Delete all of the files except for the cachecfg.txt. Once the files are removed you will need to restart the DSM SA Shared Services within Services.msc. Once the DSM SA Shared Services has successfully restarted it may take up to 90 secs to repopulate the updated inventory files (Note: The new files will consist of the cachecfg.txt, Inventory.xml.1 and InvLog.xml)
9. Q: I have OpenManage Essentials installed and successfully discovered and inventoried my 11G servers. I downloaded the update catalog and have identified some servers that our non-compliant. When I run the update task it goes to 100% complete in less than 2 seconds and no update occurs.....any ideas?
A: Providing full control NTFS permissions to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\Essentials\SystemUpdate folder has corrected the problem. The job runs successfully now.
10. Q: Can you re-run system update tasks on the same target that have not completed?
A: Previously Executed System update tasks can be re-run. It is not recommended to re-run the system update task for the same target while the first one is not complete as it will result in OME resending the same updates again.
11. Q: What do I do if SUU Import Catalog for System Update failed with this error "Exception message: Error: 1205, Procedure: usp_Catalog_Insert, Message: Transaction (Process ID 69) was deadlocked"?
A: Daemon Lite is not supported for mounting the ISO. If you are using Daemon Lite to mount the ISO, use MagicDisk or Virtual Clone Drive.
12. Q: I am unable to push updates to VRTX Chassis, why?
A: The VRTX chassis must be discovered and inventoried using WS-Man protocol for OpenManage Essentials to push updates. OpenManage Essentials does not support the update feature for the VRTX chassis using SNMP discovery and inventory.
13. Q: My compliance report pie chart disappeared or is not showing. How do I make it visible again?
- Refresh your browser.Or
- Click the 'Filtered by: All Update Devices' link next to the 'System Update' portal title.
- Check 'All Update Devices' in the device selection tree.
- Click 'Apply'.
Within 30 seconds the pie chart will reappear.Note: If the chart still does not appear, make sure all devices are discovered and inventoried, and verify your catalog.
14. Q: When Plasma HA has 2 PERC controllers with different versions, the one with the lower version is shown in the software inventory information table. Why?
A: OME shows a single PERC because the two PERCs cannot be differentiated in the OME inventory. If the Plasma HA PERC versions are different then the user needs to update the PERC manually from the CMC console.
15. Q: Why does my update sent via iDrac fail even though I have provided the right credentials and there is no connection problem?
A: It is possible that the iDRAC SSL configuration need to be reset to correctly authenticate the connection, in order to successfully update any system components via WSMAN. Execute the below command for every iDRAC that fails updates and then rerun the update task.
racadm sslresetcfg
16. Q: The iDRAC is not able to download the packages and update tasks using WSMAN fail. The IP address of the OME server in the URI is blank.
A: OME uses DNS to create the URI to download the DUPs to iDRAC. Ensure your DNS is configured correctly and hostname resolves to IP Address. Also ensure that the DNS does not accidentally have a loopback address alone.
17. Q: When the server (MN) inventory is within 5mins after the reboot, older version of the firmware is displayed in OME UI.
A: You can manually run the inventory again or wait for the scheduled inventory cycle in OME to see the updated versions in OME.
18. Q: System with iDRAC firmware version 1.30.30 is not showing up as compliant. Why?
A: System iDRAC version 1.30.30 will never show up as complaint because the systemID return by the OME inventory is invalid.
The iDRAC need to be upgraded to version 1.40.40 or above to see valid systemID.
19. Q: I don't see upgrades for 9G and 10G servers when the catalog source is SUU.Why?
A: There are separate catalogs. 9G and 10G server updates are present in one SUU whereas 11G and 12G are present in another SUU.
20. Q: What do I need to do if an out-of-band system update task fails and the task description displays a message stating that "The specified URI is invalid."?
A: To resolve the issue, do one of the following:
Ensure that the following ports are open on the firewall:
- Port 442 (for WS-Man)
- Port 80 (for HTTP)
- Port 1278 (for package server port)
Disable the firewall
21 Q: Linux target in-band updates fail to execute. It appears that an in-band update will never be extracted and executed. why?
A: Ensure that tar and gunzip are installed and are in the path. If using "sudo", ensure that the "NOPASSWD:ALL" setting is present for the sudoers group. Then re- attempt.
22 Q: System update via iDRAC is created. The task fails with error message "Error occured: The WinRM client cannot process the request. Basic authentication is currently disabled in the client configuration. Change the client configuration and try the request again. " why?
A: To fix below error authentication level Basic has to be enabled for WinRM.
Below is the expected configuration for winrm to work
>winrm get winrm/config/client
NetworkDelayms = 5000
URLPrefix = wsman
AllowUnencrypted = false
Basic = true
Digest = true
Kerberos = true
Negotiate = true
Certificate = true
CredSSP = false
1. Q: Why is Virtual Machine Information and Virtual Machine Host Product information Tables missing in ESX Sever Device Details?
A: The SNMP agent for this system may not be properly configured and is not returning any data for the VMWARE OID.
2. Q: On the Reports page, why does Device name shows as IP Address instead of the actual Device Name?
A: The IP address will be displayed instead of device names only when devices from which the alerts received is not discovered in OME.
3. Q: What do I need to do if the warranty report is not getting populated after running inventory?
A: This can happen if OME cannot communicate with Dell Warranty websites if you have enhanced security configuration enabled for Internet Explorer. You can add api.dell.com and lt.dell.com websites to the trusted list for warranty report to work. Alternatively you can disable the enhanced security configuration.
4. Q: Why are the reports on home portal missing after upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3?
The custom portal layout saved in the database in OME 1.2 is not compatible with the custom portal layout in OME 1.3.
On upgrade from OME 1.2 to OME 1.3 if a user had a custom portal layout saved, this layout will be discarded and the default portal layout will be presented to the user.
1. Q: Can I increase the console maximum timeout setting from 6 hours.
A: No, 6 hours is the maximum timeout setting. The session timeout gives the application the ability to clean up the database.
1. Q: Where can I find the logs to help troubleshoot install issues?
A: Check the 'InstallUtil.log' file for any install issues. This file is located in your windows temp directory.
2. Q: What do I need to do if I see this message "You do not have permissions to alter these settings. Please contact your system administrator. "?
A: If you used a domain account to install OpenManage Essentials you will need to add that account to the local administrators group and run iisreset from the command line.
3. Q: When I try to run system updates in OME I get the following error- "Access to path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\Essentials\SystemUpdate is denied"?
A: This is due to Windows 2008 R2 folder restrictions in the program files directory.
- Open folder
– C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\Essentials\-
In the Essentials folder make a new folder named: SystemUpdate
1. Right Click – SystemUpdate folder
2. Select – Properties
3. Select – Security tab
4. Click – Edit
5. Select – Users
6. Select – Full control
7. Click – OK
8. Click – OK
- Then recreate the update task.
4. Q: What do I do if I can't find the right click option for OMSA launch although OMSA is installed on the target server?
A: You can delete and rediscover the same device which will show the right click option for launching OMSA.
5. Q: What do I need to do if all SNMP traps from an ESXi 5 host show up in OME as unknown?
A: You have to change the hardware event source in the SNMP config on the ESXi 5 host from CIM to IPMI.
Run the following commands:
vicfg-snmp.pl --username root --password <yourpassword> --server <yourserver> --hwsrc sensors
The output of the --show command then should be:
Current SNMP agent settings:
Enabled : 1
UDP port : 161
Communities : public
Notification targets : <myOMEservername>@162/public
Options : EnvEventSource=sensors
6. Q: What do I need to do if the warranty report is not getting populated after running inventory?
A: This can happen if OME cannot communicate with Dell Warranty websites if you have enhanced security configuration enabled for Internet Explorer.
You can add api.dell.com and lt.dell.com websites to the trusted list for warranty report to work. Alternatively you can disable the enhanced security configuration.
7. Q: Why is OME unable to create a connection to SQL Server?
A: This is only 1 of many possible solutions:
Make sure TCP/IP is enabled using SQL Server Configuration Manager- Start Menu \ All Programs \ Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 \ Configuration Tools \ SQL Server Configuration Manager- Under SQL Server Network Configuration select 'Protocols' for each instance, Set the TCP/IP to Enabled.
8. Q: What can I do if my health status shows as unknown for my VM ESXi 5.x hosts?
A: For 12G servers, discover the iDRAC7 using WSMAN protocol to retrieve hardware inventory and health status. For older generation of servers, follow these steps:
Run this command from OS command prompt in OME server:
winrm i SendCmd cimv2/DCIM_OEM_DataAccessModule?__cimnamespace=root/dcim/sysman+InstanceID=DCIM_OEM_DataAccessModule1 @{CommandAndArguments="omacmd=getchildlist showbody=true showobjhead=true recurse=true computeobjstatus=true byobjtype=17 poid=2 comp=MainChassis daname=dceda"} -r:https://ESXiIPAddress:443/wsman -u:Username -p:Password -skipCNcheck -skipCAcheck -skipRevocationcheck -a:Basic -encoding:utf-8
Make sure to provide actual values for these three fields in the above syntax:
The command should return this info:
SendCmd_OUTPUTResultCode = 0ReturnValue = <MainSystemChassis ons="Root/MainSystemChassis" instance="0" creatoralias="dsm_sa_datamgr32" creatordisplay="Systems Management Data Manager"><oid>2</oid><objtype>17</objtype><objstatus>4</objstatus></MainSystemChassis><ObjCount>1</ObjCount><computedobjstatus strval="CRITICAL">4</computedobjstatus><SMStatus s32val="0" strval="SUCCESS">0</SMStatus>
If the command fails or does not return the above data, you may need to troubleshoot further:Reboot the ESXi server host once and run the command again. Make sure OMSA VIB is installed on the ESXi host.
9. Q: After installing OME 1.2 on Windows 2012, the UI goes blank automatically when the system is idle and is only refreshed on mouse over or browser refresh.
A: Try Installing latest MS-
Updates from Microsoft using "Control panel > Windows Updates" and verify IE10 version has to be greater than >16384.
10. Q: Why is my EqualLogic blade device not classified under the Modular group?
A: Make sure the chassis service tag in EqualLogic is populated for that to be classified under Modular group.
11. Q: I created an alert action which has the same name as existing Alert view filters. I re-launched OME and this the new alert action that was created is no longer seen in OME. Why?
A: This is the limitation of OME. Create an alert action with the different name than the existing alert view filters.
1. Q: What ports and protocols are needed to be opened for proper access to the Essentials server?
A: Many ports and protocols...snmp, http, https, omremote, rpc, smb, 2607… and also add exe file copy over http.
2. Q: What are SNMP "authentication traps"?
A: An authentication trap is sent when the SNMP agent is hit with an inquiry with a community name it does not recognize. These are case-sensitive also.The traps are useful to know if someone is probing your system, although its better nowadays to just sniff packets and find out the community name that way.If you use multiple community names on the network, and some management might overlap, people may want to turn these off as they become false positives (annoyances).
From MS (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959663.aspx):Send Authentication Traps. When an SNMP agent receives a request that does not contain a valid community name or the host that is sending the message is not on the list of acceptable hosts, the agent can send an authentication trap message to one or more trap destinations (management systems). The trap message indicates that the SNMP request failed authentication. This is a default setting.
3. Q: Why is OME CLI functionality not working?
A: OME CLI functionality will not work when non default port is used for installing OME. If you want to use the CLI functionality, make sure that the default port 2607 is used during installation.
4. Q: Unable to delete nested custom groups from OME CLI, Why?
A: OME CLI functionality will not work when non default port is used for installing OME. If you want to use the CLI functionality, make sure that the default port 2607 is used during installation.
5. Q: Where can I get the files used to install OMSA?
A: See below links:
Microsoft Windows
Install and upgrades
Major Upgrades
Minor Upgrades
Citrix XenServer
Version 5.6
VMware ESXi Version 4.1

6. Q. Why are the alerts and task schedules in OME display a timestamp which is off by 1 hour?
A: Check the location settings for the server in "Regional and language settings" under control panel to make sure the location for the server and date/time formats are set appropriately for the region where the server is located.
7. Q: Why is OME taking a long time to launch or traverse through various pages?
A: Please check if the windows update is running in the background. Windows update impacts the SQL performance if the update is related to SQL which in turn affects OME's performance. Once the update is complete, Reboot your machine and launch OME again.
8. Q: OME does not launch and throws an error message stating "An add-on for this website failed to run"
A: Add the OME URL to the exceptions list in the Internet Explorer options -> Security -> Local Intranet -> Sites -> Advanced ->
9. Q: OME memory consumption shoots up when I have logged in as a domain user. What do I do to fix this issue?
A: Disable/Uncheck the following settings in the IE browser
Check for Publisher's certificate revocation
Check for server certificate revocation
10. Q: After running Discovery /Inventory on a system running Linux, command line task is failing with error message "unable to generate a Trusted Key for Linux"
A: Run an OMSA Deployment Task which will successfully generate the Trusted Key. Once the OMSA deployment task complete you can run the Command Line Task on the target because the new SSH Key would have been generated
11. Q: I am using IE 11 and have enabled ActiveX, but I cannot launch the Troubleshooting Tool. Why?
A: Make sure you have the latest updates from Microsoft installed on the system. Older versions of IE 11 may have compatibility issues.
12. Q: OME does not work when high availability features of SQL Servers are used. Why?
A: OME currently does not support high availability features within SQL Server.
Enabling the features on the database may cause OME to no longer function.
For large environments we recommend database backups scheduled within SQL Server.
1. Q: The health status is not returned correctly by the Dell-Compellent device and OME shows the health state as unknown.
A: The fix is part of the Dell-Compellent firmware version 6.3.10 or above. Please make sure your Dell-Compellent device has the latest firmware installed.
2. Q: OME shows the Dell-Compellent Agent Version as 'M'.
A: The fix is part of the Dell-Compellent firmware version 6.3.10 or above. Please make sure your Dell-Compellent device has the latest firmware installed.
3. Q: Inventory details are not shown for most of the tables and it is shown as N/A in OME for Dell-Compellent viz Controller Information table, Enclosure Information table, Physical Disk Information table OR Most of the details in the reports for Dell Compellent are empty.
A: The fix is part of the Dell-Compellent firmware version 6.3.10 or above. Please make sure your Dell-Compellent device has the latest firmware installed.
4. Q: Service tag is not shown for Dell-Compellent device by OME.
A: The fix is part of future Dell-Compellent firmware. Please make sure your Dell-Compellent device has the latest firmware installed.
5. Q: OME does not show the model information for Dell-Compellent.
A: The fix is part of future Dell-Compellent firmware. Please make sure your Dell-Compellent device has the latest firmware installed
6. Q: When I discover a RAC device for my Compellent storage, I don't see an entry for it in the OME device tree under the RAC device group.
A: When both the Compellent storage device and the RAC device are discovered in OME, OME 1.3 correlates the RAC device for Compellent. The information for the RAC device can be seen under Dell Compellent Arrays group by looking at the inventory information of the Compellent Storage device.
1. Q: Are there restrictions on attributes like device name when using the Create Template feature to get a Chassis configuration?
A: For attributes that a user can create, we require that they do not contain brackets ('[' or ']').
2. Q: I set new minimum bandwidths for my partitioned NIC and deployment fails.The total minimum bandwidth I set adds up to 100 per partition.Why would I get an error on "MinBandwidth"?
A: When you deploy new bandwidths they are processed one at a time in order.If the new value increases the total "MinBandwidth" over 100 it will fail to deploy.Set the new values to zero as an intermediate step before applying the desired values if you get this error.
NEW 70, 10, 10, 10 – This will FAIL with old value 20 and new value will be blank

Two adults and four children who were stranded in sub-zero temperatures in a Nevada mountain range for nearly 48 hours were found alive and well on Tuesday by search crews, authorities said.
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Two adults and four children who were stranded in sub-zero temperatures in a Nevada mountain range for nearly 48 hours were found alive and well on Tuesday by search crews, authorities said.
The discovery came after a cellphone forensics team picked up a signal from the missing woman's phone and diverted rescuers to the area.
A searcher with binoculars spotted the group's Jeep about the same it was seen by a Civil Air Patrol crews, Civil Air Patrol Col. Tim Hahn said.
A ground team then retrieved the couple and four young members of their families.
Authorities said the Jeep had rolled over but it could not be immediately determined if the engine still worked. However, the group was able to build a fire.
Their decision to stay with the Jeep probably saved their lives, said Paul Burke, search and rescue coordinator who directed the effort Tuesday for the Nevada Department of Public Safety.
"They stayed together and that was the key that allowed them to live through this experience. You don't see that that often in search and rescue," said Burke, who has worked search and rescue in Alaska. "They did some pretty unusual things, heating up rocks and things. Staying together, that was a big deal."
The six people were taken to Pershing General Hospital, where about 100 well-wishers lined the street and broke into cheers and applause when two of the smallest children were taken from an ambulance. Others in the group walked into the hospital on their own.
"The mood where I'm at's ecstatic," said Hahn, who commands the Nevada Wing of the patrol, which deployed six planes to search for the group. "We are thrilled beyond words."
About 200 people had scoured the wilderness from the air and on the ground in search of James Glanton, 34, his girlfriend Christina McIntee, 25, their two children Evan and Chloe Glanton, and Shelby Fitzpatrick and Tate McIntee, a niece and nephew of Christina McIntee. The children ranged in age from 3 to 10.
Officials said the group had gone to the Seven Troughs area on Sunday to play in the snow. Rescuers were dispatched when they didn't return and at one point saw overnight temperatures in the nearby town of Lovelock dip to 16 degrees below zero.
News of their rescue drew jubilant reactions on social media, including a tweet from Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval.
"Very glad to hear the missing family in Lovelock has been found and they are safe!" he said. "Thank you to all who worked so tirelessly to find them!"
The Seven Troughs area is named after a series of seven parallel canyons below Seven Trough Peak — elevation 7,474 feet — in the Kamma Mountains stretching north across the Pershing-Humboldt county line.
It's about 20 miles southeast of Black Rock Desert, where the annual Burning Man counterculture festival is held.
Most of the roads are dirt and more easily traveled by ATVs or other off-road vehicles.
Seven Troughs is a popular area for hunting chukars, a pheasant-sized winter game bird.
"So it's not the kind of area where there would be nobody around," Nevada Department of Wildlife spokesman Chris Healy said. "But most chukar hunters are smart enough not to go out in the weather we have now."

What the…? Restaurant Serves Hamburger Inspired By Chris Brown's Beating of Rihanna
Topical references to pop culture can be a great way to advertise, but an Atlanta restaurant has learned that joking about the beating Rihanna took at the hands of Chris Brown isn't really the best way to do it.
The former (and some say current) couple were infamously involved in an altercation that left Rihanna bloodied and bruised a few years back. And although the Barbados-born beauty has since forgiven Brown and even collaborated with him on a couple songs, jokes about the incident are still considered to be in poor taste.
But the Chops and Hops restaurant obviously didn't get the memo. It debuted a "Black And Bleu" sandwich along with this Facebook description:
@chrisbrown, @rihanna and us teamed up for a award winning celebrity sandwich. Put your hands on this caribbean black and bleu sandwich. Caribbean spiced marinated sliced ribeye blackened then look out for the bleu cheese, sliced tomato, silver Lamborghini onions, and shredded romaine. Chris Brown won't beat you up for eating this unless your name starts with a R and ends with A.
Atrocious grammar and sentence-structure aside, people were outraged. The eatery is known for its celeb-inspired sandwiches, which have mocked Paula Deen's diabetes and Britney Spears' infamous flashing of her lady bits while getting out of a car.
The owners pulled the sandwich from the menu, but left the Facebook thread discussion open, in addition to issuing a separate statement in which they apologized and promised to donate six times the amount earned from the sales of the sandwich to a non-profit that fights domestic violence.

Butler drives in seven runs as Royals down Phillies
Philadelphia, PA – Royals manager Ned Yost made the right call giving Billy Butler the start at first base on Sunday, as Kansas City's only All-Star last year hit a grand slam and tied a franchise record with seven RBI in a 9-8 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Alex Gordon went 3-for-4 with three runs scored and an RBI for the Royals, who took the rubber match of the three-game series after blowing a 3-1 lead in the ninth on Saturday.
They nearly squandered a five-run advantage in the ninth inning Sunday, but Kelvin Herrera struck out Erik Kratz with the tying run on third and the winning run on second to close out the victory.
James Shields (1-1) shook off a rough start and lasted six frames, allowing four runs on 10 hits while striking out eight to earn the win.
"We played exceptional baseball here against an extremely tough team," Yost said. "I'm pleased with the way we came out of the series winning two out of the three."
Cole Hamels (0-2) was roughed up for a second straight time, surrendering a career-high eight earned runs on nine hits and four walks. The left-hander was pulled with two outs in the sixth after tossing just five innings in an Opening Day loss to the Braves.
Yost gave Butler the starting nod at first base over Eric Hosmer, and the decision helped the Royals enter the last inning with a healthy 9-4 cushion.
The manager was again put to the test in the ninth after Jimmy Rollins pulled the Phillies within 9-7 with a three-run homer off J.C. Gutierrez. Yost switched to closer Greg Holland, who blew a save chance in the middle game of the set and yielded a pair of two-out singles before being replaced by Herrera.
Laynce Nix made it a one-run affair with a pinch-hit, run-scoring single that left runners on first and second, and a wild pitch moved both runners up a base. Herrera was in a long duel with Kratz before throwing a changeup Kratz swung through to record his fourth career save.
The Phillies, who dropped two of three in Atlanta as well, pushed across four runs in the first inning as Chase Utley, Michael Young and Domonic Brown each had RBI singles while Kratz added a sacrifice fly.
"We didn't tack on runs in the middle innings," said Young. "We have to keep our foot on the gas as the game goes on."
The Royals cut their deficit in half in the third, as Chris Getz reached on a bunt single, advance to second when Gordon worked a one-out walk and scored on Alcides Escobar's double to right field.
Butler, usually penciled in as Kansas City's designated hitter, added an RBI groundout for a 4-2 game before coming up with the bases loaded in the fifth.
Getz led off with a double, Gordon reached on an infield single and Escobar walked in front of Butler, who launched one deep to left for what was at first ruled a bases-clearing double. But after a quick replay, the play was deemed a grand slam after it showed the ball clearing the wall and hitting a railing behind it.
Butler came up again with the bags full in the sixth, and his single brought in Shields and Gordon to tie the club record and set a career-high with seven RBI.
Gordon made it 9-4 in the eighth when he knocked in Jarrod Dyson with a base hit -- a run that proved big after the Phillies rallied in the ninth.
Game Notes
The grand slam was the first of Butler's career ... The Royals have not committed an error yet this year -- the longest streak in club history to begin a season ... Hamels had a seven-game unbeaten streak at home snapped ... Young had four of the Phillies' 15 hits ... The Royals will play their home opener Monday against the Twins ... The Phillies start a three-game home series against the Mets on Monday.

Stand Strong: Birth Control Coverage is essential
Dear [Decision Maker],
When your administration made birth control coverage an essential part of health care reform, it was a huge victory for women and men everywhere. Now, I understand that anti-women's health members of Congress and others are pressuring you to eliminate this coverage for millions of people who work at religiously-affiliated hospitals, universities, and other organizations. I urge you to reject their demands. The vast majority of American voters, including 72 percent of Republican women voters, supports birth control coverage with no co-pays. We know that covering contraception is the single most important step our country can take toward reducing unintended pregnancies, and it must be a benefit for all under health care reform.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]

The season of summer movie sequels need not apply only to superhero adventures. Apparently environmental documentaries can get in on the action as well, as the haunting and provocative "Gasland Part II" gets a small theatrical release ahead of its airing on HBO in early July. Many people had never heard of "fracking" — a process that uses drilling and high-pressure water to release natural gas from deep underground — until Josh Fox's 2010 documentary "Gasland," which went on to be nominated for an Academy Award. The process, and its health effects on people and impact on local water supplies, has become a point of great contention as it has moved around the country and now the globe, largely pitting environmentalists and grassroots activists on one side and the energy industry on the other.
"Gasland Part II" plays out like a PowerPoint horror movie, with Fox's ominously downbeat narration again providing unnerving punctuation to the wave of statistics and graphics and stories of lives overturned. If the most memorable moment of the original film was a man setting the water from his kitchen sink on fire — also subsequently a centerpiece of debate — in "Gasland Part II," Fox shows a man lighting up the end of his garden hose. It is certainly an image that demands explanation. With continued arguments and legislation over fracking, this follow-up seems inevitable and necessary.
Fox generated a massive pushback from the energy industry disputing the claims of his previous film — and the sequel even before it has been released — a controversy acknowledged in "Gasland Part II" when Fox in voiceover states, "What really mattered was who was telling the story."

By Derek Bonnett: The year 2012 is already in its fourth month and boxing fans have not had to hear my rebellious cries against the world sanctioning bodies or their sorry excuses for world championship match-ups due to erroneous rankings systems. Overall, I have been pleased with the efforts of the IBF, WBA, WBC, and WBO thus far. That's not to say that some questionable match-ups have not been made, but that they were mostly justifiable or, at least, reasonably explained. That was January, February, and March though. As I stated, it is now April and my venomous fingertips have found a whole lot to question, complain about, and expose to curious boxing fanatics. This volume will focus entirely on interim WBA bouts because there seems to be an endless supply of them. I didn't realize so many champions were injured and/or unable to defend their titles. That still is the reason for creating an interim title, correct?
Apparently, not. On April 14, Jose Alfredo Rodriguez will meet Alberto Rossel for the interim WBA light flyweight title. Just one week later, Roman Gonzalez will be defending the WBA light flyweight title against Roman Garcia Hirales. Can anyone say sanctioning fee? Well, we are all mostly familiar with the WBA's love for three or more titles per weight class. The upcoming interim clash pits the unbeaten Rodriguez, 28-0 (17), against the 27-8 (13) Rossel. While Rodriguez has feasted mostly on unknown commodities with losing or winless records, he became the interim champion in his last bout when he captured a split decision over Nethri Sasiprapa, a similarly matched fighter with a comparable record. My focus in this bout will center on the challenger, Rossel. His hailing from my father's homeland won't protect him from close scrutiny. Rossel, 34, challenged for the WBA title back in 2010 when he was stopped by Hugo Fidel Cazares in nine rounds. He has thrice fought since then going 3-0 (2). Yet, there was nary a contender involved in those match-ups. First, Rossel dispatched the winless Luis Trejo, then 0-13-1 (4), in two rounds. Then he captured a 10 round decision against, get this, "unknown". This mysterious fighter has neither name nor record reported, but managed to last the ten round distance. Maybe, just maybe, he was an unbeaten world champion. Most recently, Rossel dispatched Javier Saquinga, then 5-1-1 (2), in six rounds. Even for an interim title, which are not recognized in the SecondsOut rankings, this is pretty weak preparation for a fight being peddled off as a world championship.
On April 21, on the undercard of Gonzalez-Hirales, another interim WBA belt will be on the line. Jesus Silvestre will meet Edwin Diaz for the 105-pound version of this title or, at least, one of them. You see, in November 2011, Silvestre fought for this very same title, but lost a unanimous decision to Paipharob Kokietgym, awarding Kokietgym the interim title. As of March 2012, Kokietgym still held that title and had not lost. You see where I am going here? Now, without a bout since that defeat, Silvestre, 23-3 (17), will again challenge for the vacant title, which doesn't appear to be that vacant. Sorry to distract you, but here's the real issue. Edwin Diaz, the other part of this world championship match-up, is 15-17 (5). Diaz' longest win-streak is four bouts and he is currently riding three straight. Throughout his career, he has been a bit of a spoiler to some, but his current streak is not something to throw a title shot at. First, he won a rubber-match against Carlos Melo by ten round decision. Melo was once credible, but has only won three bouts since the conclusion of 2008. He then won an eight rounder against Carlos Velarde, previously only beaten by Silvestre, a highly protected Panamanian who feasted on fighters with losing records. Just this year, Diaz won another eight round decision over 3-2-1 Jeyson Cervantes. I love a good Cinderella (Man) story, but does this warrant a number four world ranking. Even Silvestre is beneath Diaz at fifth. The worst part about this is that WBA champion, Akira Yaegashi, is active and currently pursuing a unification bout with WBC counterpart Kazuto Ioka.
On April 28 - boom-boom-boom- or for the third straight week, the WBA will showcase yet another interim champion, this time at super flyweight. This 115-pound interim crown is held by Liborio Solis, 13-3-1 (7). Solis captured the title last time out against Jose Salgado in December. His inaugural defense will come against Argentina's Santiago Ivan Acosta. Acosta sports a well-rounded 17-8-2 (7) record, but is only 1-7 in his last eight fights! That lone win came against a 6-9-1 boxer. Regardless of facing Omar Andres Narvaez, Luis Concepcion, and Roberto Domingo Sosa, Acosta has not been winning. He's an opponent, not a world title challenger. Even a pasteurized version of a title needs to hold weightier standards for challengers. The WBA title recently changed hands even though the WBA invalidly labeled Tomonobu Shimizu as a champion in recess for their own purposes. Regardless, Tepparith Singwancha now holds the real belt.
Here are some compelling distinctions about WBA champions and interim WBA champions: all of the WBA champions mentioned in this volume are ranked by SecondsOut. In fact, two are ranked number one. However, none of the six fighters involved in the three interim bouts are ranked or even close to being ranked by SecondsOut. The WBA: you have got to love them. Love them like the court jesters they make themselves out to be with Super champions, champions, and interim champions in every division. The WBA presently ranks Hasim Rahman as the number one heavyweight contender in the world. What is this, 2001? As of the March WBA rankings, there are thirty-five fighters holding Super, World, Interim, or Recess titles across seventeen weight classes. Only three divisions have one WBA champion. Nine divisions have two WBA titlists. Five weight classes have three WBA belt holders.

Efe Ambrose is confident Celtic will get their home form back on track for their most important game of the season against Spartak Moscow on Wednesday night.
The Hoops' shock 1-1 William Hill Scottish Cup fourth-round draw against Arbroath at Parkhead means Neil Lennon's men have not won a domestic game in front of their own fans since beating St Johnstone 5-0 in the Scottish Communities League Cup on October 30.
A 1-1 draw against Saints and a 1-0 defeat to Inverness in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League were compounded by failure to beat the Irn-Bru Second Division part-timers.
However, during that period Celtic Park witnessed one of the club's greatest ever wins when the Hoops beat Barcelona 2-1 in the Champions League and in midweek Group G will come to the boil.
The Scottish champions need to do better against Spartak than Benfica do in the Nou Camp in order to secure a last 16 spot and the Nigerian defender believes playing for such high stakes will make a difference.
"Wednesday night is a Champions League game which we know we have to win to get a place in the last 16 because we are not counting on Barcelona to do the job for us," said Ambrose. "We have to do that at Celtic Park.
"I believe the atmosphere will be different to the one against Arbroath. We have been playing well outside Celtic Park and winning games so I don't really know what is going on at home.
"We are all disappointed. It has been quite long now without a (domestic) victory at home. I believe the problem is scoring goals at Celtic Park but we will be on it very soon. I can't make any promises, we just have to do it.
"We disappointed the fans again yesterday, they came to see us winning at home. We had a lot of chances and didn't convert them and as you saw, one goal is not enough to get a victory.
"They got one shot which got a deflection before going in but I suppose that is football."

LONDON — The Spice Girls reunited onstage Tuesday, June 26, to announce details of a musical based on their songs — a tale of fame and female friendship that will open in London in the fall.
The music of the 1990s "girl power" group is being revived in "Viva Forever," which tells the story of four friends whose bond is tested when their band enters a TV talent show.
The Spice Girls said they were delighted with the show, which is produced by Judy Craymer, the woman behind the world-conquering ABBA musical "Mamma Mia."
"It's better than we could ever have imagined," said Melanie "Sporty Spice" Chisholm of the show, written by comedian Jennifer Saunders, who co-created the TV sitcom "Absolutely Fabulous."
"They sing it better than us," added Melanie Brown, the band's "Scary Spice.
They were joined by Band members Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham — also known as Baby, Ginger and Posh — for a media launch in the grand neo-Gothic hotel where the video for their 1996 No. 1 hit "Wannabe" was filmed.
The band's outsized personalities and Halliwell's Union Jack dress made them icons of 1990s "Cool Britannia," and they sold 75 million records around the world.
Halliwell left the group acrimoniously in 1998 and the Spice Girls effectively split a decade ago. The five members have not appeared together since a 2007-2008 reunion tour.
Beckham said the show would "be introducing a whole new generation to Girl Power."
"Viva Forever" previews from Nov. 27 and opens Dec. 11 at London's Piccadilly Theatre.

Owner J. Paul Reddam, whose consumer loans company sponsors the $750,000-guaranteed CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park December 17, would like to keep the winner's share in his own pocket.
Reddam plans to start both Handsome Mike, purchased privately after a second-place finish in the Generous Stakes Sunday, and Basmati, runner-up in the Delta Downs Jackpot Stakes in Louisiana November 19 for his wife Zillah, in the Grade I test at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track.
Doug O'Neill trains both colts for Reddam and said that Corey Nakatani, who won the race last year on Comma to the Top, would probably return on Basmati.
Reddam has been close in the Futurity on two previous occasions: second with Liquidity in 2006 and third with Wilko in 2004.
"Basmati is a real talented high-energy horse who should have a bright 3-year-old campaign ahead of him," said O'Neill.
Other probable starters include a Bob Baffert-trained quartet of Liaison, So Brilliant, Sky Kingdom and Secret Circle, a Jerry Hollendorfer-conditioned duo of Longview Drive and Rousing Sermon, Empire Way and Maryland shipper Lucky Chappy.
Four probable supplementary entries are expected for the $250,000-guaranteed Hollywood Starlet Stakes, a Grade I test for 2-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track December 10.
Sharp Cat Stakes winner Charm the Maker, Sharp Cat runner-up Killer Graces, Moccasin Stakes winner Made to Love Her and Self Preservation—fourth-place finisher in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies—are all expected to join the lineup for the 31st running of the Starlet.
Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, who trains Killer Graces, is also expected to start Milania, a recent maiden winner, according to assistant Dan Ward.
The Starlet is expected to be headed by Weemissfrankie, winnner of the Grade I Del Mar Debutante and Oak Leaf Stakes and third-place finisher in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.
"She had a beautiful gallop this morning and will work Saturday," said Peter Eurton, trainer of Weemissfrankie, who will be ridden by two-time Starlet winner Rafael Bejarano. Joel Rosario will ride Self Preservation, and Garrett Gomez will be aboard Charm the Maker.
Trainers Dan Blacker, Francesco Santella and Michael Ewing are all looking forward to their first Hollywood Park starts this week.
For Blacker, who entered All de Victors in the fourth race today, it will be the first start of his career.
"I've been around horses all my life," said the 29-year-old native of England from a stall in Barn 54 Thursday while holding a horse being shod.
"I did a program with Darley Stud (Darley Flying Start Program) in 2007.
"I did a work placement with Richard Mandella and he offered me a job to come back, and I worked for him for 1 ½ years at Santa Anita," continued Blacker. "Then I worked for Tom Albertrani on the East Coast for 2 ½ years."
Blacker credited Jamie Lloyd for his return. "I owe it all to Jamie," said Blacker. "I came back to California when Jamie quit training here to concentrate on his bloodstock business in England. Jamie put in a good word with some of his owners, and they were kind enough to give me a shot with three of their horses. Jamie bought two others at Tattersalls, so I have five altogether."
Two horses with Blacker that Lloyd previously trained are stakes-placed Hameildaeme, entered in the first race Saturday, and Fantastic Pick, winner of the 2010 Oak Tree Derby nearing a start here this month.
For Santella, who entered Coal Region Kid in the third race today, it will mark his first start in the United States.
Santella explained in broken English from Barn 53 that he moved to California two months ago from his native Italy, where he won about 100 races. "Not much money in Italy," explained Santella of the move.
Santella, 33, said that he and his father, Salvatore, boast more than 40 years in the training business between them.
"I trained Miss Vegas before she came here to Bobby Frankel," said Santella of the stakes filly. Santella said that he has five horses here, four yearlings from Keeneland that are being broken and 24 horses in Italy, some of which will join the stable here next year.
Santella explained that his owner, Vegas Racing Team, is made of a group of Italian restaurateurs who have restaurants in Rancho Palos Verdes, Huntington Beach and Las Vegas. Jeopardy Lady, a filly he trains for Vegas Racing Team, is entered in the first race Saturday against the Blacker-trained Hameildaeme.
For Ewing, who entered June Cleaver in the ninth race Saturday, it will be her first start at Hollywood Park.
Ewing, long-time assistant to Bob Hess Jr. on this circuit before striking out on her own, trains eight horses here, including Song Girl, who provided her with her first victory at Keeneland this year. Song Girl is entered in Sunday's ninth race.
Ewing, based in Barn 50 North, will have to rely on French-born assistant Sebastian Pain while she endures the pain of hip-replacement surgery two days ago.
June Cleaver will be making her first start in a 2-year-old filly maiden race. The filly is out of Believeittobeaver and is named after the mother of Beaver Cleaver in the old "Leave It To Beaver" television series.
FINISH LINES—Director of racing Martin Panza was happy to report that the solid cinderblock and aluminum barns withstood the ferocious winds that wreaked havoc throughout Southern California Wednesday night and no damage was reported in the stable area…Horses hope to follow in their mother's footsteps here in stakes races this weekend. The well-traveled Eldaafer, out of 2001 Hollywood Starlet winner Habibti, seeks to win the $100,000 Native Diver Handicap in his first start at this track Saturday. Miss Mittagong, out of 2001 A Gleam Handicap winner Go Go, seeks her first graded stakes win in the $150,000 Bayakoa Handicap Sunday…Jockey Chantal Sutherland will be in her native Canada this weekend to ride at Woodbine during closing weekend of the Ontario racing season. She has stakes mounts on Awesome Fire in the Ontario Lassie Saturday and Harrod's Creek in the Valedictory Sunday.

Many folks have financial problems at some point or another and could use a Personal Loan Port Austin Michigan to help them stay afloat. Usually, financial challenges start with an urgent expense- perhaps a car repair need or an emergency medical bill. A Personal Loan in Port Austin can be just finished . to reduce the debt and help you to the next paycheck; UsaPersonalLoans is just the company to help you get that Personal Loan.
Personal Loans come in two types- secured and unprotected. Before trying to get a Personal Loan, it's important to learn the difference.
Secured Personal Loans
Secured Personal Loans frequently have an extended repayment period with lower monthly premiums and lower interest rates than an unsecured Personal Loan. To be able to obtain a guaranteed Personal Loan, however, you must first set up some security. That's, you'll need to pledge property such as your home or your vehicle to again the Personal Loan. As the lender's risk is reduced, it is fairly easy to get a secured Personal Loan. That's, providing your credit is good and the collateral is acquired by you.
Unsecured Personal Loans
Unsecured Personal Loans Michigan do not require collateral and then the risks are higher for the lending company. To counter the risks of unsecured Personal Loans, rates of interest tend to be higher and repayment times may differ. For those who don't own any property or for individuals who are not in a position to offer security, an unprotected Personal Loan from UsaPersonalLoans can be considered a great alternative.
Unsecured Personal Loan amounts generally range from $1000 to $5,000. However, due to high risk involved and the legal headaches incurred when recovering opportunities, most lenders tend be skeptical of approving large amounts of money. Actually, the major negatives of unprotected Personal Loans are that they usually carry higher interest rates than anchored Loans therefore you cannot borrow as much without guarantee as possible with it.
Advantages of Unsecured Personal Loans
Unsecured Personal Loans can be both disadvantageous and advantageous for borrowers. First, unsecured Personal Loans do not require collateral. This implies if you were to default on the Loan, you wouldn't be vulnerable to sacrificing Personal property. Additionally, while most other types of Loans impose limitations on how money can be utilized, unsecured Personal Loans offer you full freedom over the consumption of the money. Moreover, unprotected Personal Loans are a good idea with establishing an optimistic credit history and good repayment history. In the event that you haven't founded a credit history or if you have a questionable credit history, paying responsibly on an unsecured Personal Loan will help you build or strengthen your credit history. Finally, you can generally expect faster endorsement times with unsecured Personal Loans than with Loans that want collateral; in fact, fast authorization is one of the hallmarks of UsaPersonalLoans.
Bad Credit Personal Loan
Because of rigorous credit investigations and lengthy applications, folks with bad credit have less chance of obtaining a secure Personal Loan. An unsecure Personal Loan from UsaPersonalLoans can be just the answer. First, there are no credit bank checks or lengthy holding out times when applying for an unsecure Loan. On top of that, as you pay back your unsecured Personal Loan responsibly, you will strengthen your credit history thereby. It could cost a bit more in interest, but an unprotected Personal Loan could serve you in the long run as your credit gradually improves.

Growing concerns about access to locally grown foods, public health issues and the conservation of natural resources recently converged in New York City at this year's TEDx Manhattan. Among a diverse group including farmers, chefs, educators, environmentalists and local food advocates, I joined in for a day of idea sharing around the concept of "Changing the Way We Eat."
The backdrop of the Manhattan skyline was a surprisingly fitting frame for a discussion about farms and food. TEDx Manhattan was a discussion of ideas rooted in the value of connections between rural and urban people—whether young or old, foodies or environmentalists—and about finding better ways to protect farms and food across the country.
For Patty Cantrell, a journalist working to make the business case for local and regional food, new roads to new markets are not paved in asphalt. Rather, the creation of market opportunities for local food products starts with connecting people. "It's about making our way back to each other," she explained, "and moving forward as a result." Cantrell pointed to the Kalamazoo, Michigan-based Fair Food Matters as a model for empowering communities through food and for connecting people with the land that produces it.
The idea of community was a bit different for Fred Kirschenmann. A farmer in south central North Dakota who serves as both a Distinguished Fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture and as president of the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, Kirschenmann appealed to the value of the land as a vital piece in the discussion about our food. "Soil is a vibrant, living community. A community of life," he remarked. Using examples from challenging weather events of the past year, he warned of the pressures of environmental changes on soil that is continually slipping away.
Whether discussing how to safeguard soil quality to discovering new ways to provide healthier food options in schools, an undertone of the day was the critical need to think about the future today. Michelle Hughes, Director of GrowNYC's New Farmer Development Project, connected the rapid loss of farmland to development with the need to cultivate new farmers. The New Farmer Development Project works with immigrant families in New York City to provide access to farmland and to assistance in finding local market opportunities. As Hughes explained, connecting the new farmers to land is making a positive impact on immigrant families and communities while keeping farmland viable and healthy.
The farm and food innovators throughout the audience were an energized community in themselves. I was even able to catch up with Cara Rosaen of Real Time Farms after her impassioned talk on empowering eaters and farmers. In the end, I left with a hopeful feeling. The lesson of the day: When it comes to the health of our lands, access to healthy food, and a viable future for farms, ideas are worth creating, developing and believing in as part of a community invested in a healthy future for us all.

Local tech startup gets $1 million in funding
Decision Pace, a business intelligence Web service startup located in the Z80 Labs in Buffalo, has raised $1 million from investors.
Richmond Capital Partners, Z80 Labs and some angel investors helped fund the startup company, which will use the money to further develop "data visualization" products, services and technologies. Its aim is to transform raw data into real-time visuals that can quickly be posted to websites, devices or email.
Jay Moeller and Alan Lash founded Decision Pace, which offers its data visualizations and developmental technologies to many industries, such as legal, accounting, health insurance, manufacturing and Internet software.
"This app allows you to be able to take data and create visuals and distribute it from various systems for your business," said Dan Magnuszewski, managing director of Z80 Labs.
Z80 Labs, a technology incubator that launched in the summer of 2012, wants to transform Buffalo and Western New York into "a technology hotbed." The lab helps kick-start tech-driven businesses and provides them guidance, as well as office space.
Decision Pace's application, which can be used on computers and smartphones, pools data into visuals, like graphs and pie charts. According to Moeller, it cuts costs for businesses, which would otherwise have to hire programmers for a few months to create what he says his app can generate in one hour.
"It's one stop and it's fast," and will change how paperless content is produced to manage a business, he added.
Moeller, who is originally from San Francisco, said the company is "extremely excited to have all Buffalo investors." Moeller is currently seeking out office spaces in Downtown Buffalo and has already hired six people for his company. He plans to have 50 employees in three years.
The investment "represents a huge step toward building a successful, technology-focused ecosystem in Buffalo," said Jordan Levy, co-founder of Z80 Labs and partner at Softbank Capital and Synacor chairman, in a release.
Z80 Labs lends its support to four other active companies outside of Decision Pace – CoachMePlus, GradFly, CrowdBouncer and Sale Diem – and is the process of bringing in four fresh startups.
CoachMePlus, which connects athletes and coaches by organizing data, is actively raising $500,000, according to the company's CEO, Kevin Dawidowicz. Currently, the Buffalo Sabres, the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Edmonton Oilers and the Philadelphia Eagles are using Dawidowicz's digital application. Multiple colleges and other professional teams are running trials of the app that provide "a global, complete view of an athlete."
It centralizes tracked data, like an athlete's heart rate or how much he or she is sleeping, and allows coaches or general managers to create and share workouts or keep tabs on athletes.
GradFly aims to help students in the science, technology, engineering and math fields by providing a platform to create an online portfolio. In late April, Gradfly competed with other startups through TechCrunch, a news outlet that focuses on startups, which was hosting a "Startup Battlefield." GradFly was chosen from hundreds of applicants to compete with 29 other startups for a $50,000 prize.
CrowdBouncer helps "equity crowdfunding" websites, called portals, cope with upcoming federal regulations. CrowdBouncer provides automated solutions to ensure investors don't exceed their investment limit, as set by law. The watchdog-like platform is a response to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which eased security for online fundraising and still has pending pieces.
Sale Diem provides shoppers with access to boutique items and daily private sales and was founded by Buffalo native Jeff Milkowski. Magnuszewski said the company is starting to gain momentum.
Z80 Labs is in the process of bringing on Logical Mobility Labs, which develops mobile applications. Magnuszewski said the company is still figuring out its focus and what they want to do, but he said that's what Z80 Labs is for: to provide help and guidance for budding entrepreneurs.

Inno3D GeForce GT240 Review
Are you looking for a new video card for your current system? Maybe you are turned off by the high prices of $400+ for the bleeding edge performance and don't know where to look after that? Well Inno3D has a GeForce GT240 that may just be what you are looking for. This card is going to be able to give you the graphics performance to play most games at lower resolutions and lowered settings with a lower demand on power and giving you a lower heat amount. The GT240 is also perfect for pairing up with a more powerful card and being used as a Phys-X rendering card. Maybe games are not the reason that you are looking at getting a new card and you need something that is going to be able to work with software and lower the time it takes to encode HD video or images? This card can do that too, with the CUDA cores it has packed inside. Whatever your reason for a new card, you may just want to check out the Inno3D GeForce GT240.
Closer Look:
The front of the packaging for the Inno3D GeForce GT240 displays a warrior with a sward in his hand in his battle gear, giving you the impression that the card is ready for battle with any other card in its class. The top right hand corner of the box is where you are going to find the Inno3D logo printed. Along the left-hand side going up, is the Inno3D logo printed in large letters as well. There is the 'nVIDIA Authorised' badge, along with the HDMI and Windows 7 badges printed on the front of the package above the sticker letting you know that the card is a 240 with 512MB of GDDR5 memory. Along the bottom of the front-side is where you are going to find the nVIDIA GeForce CUDA badge as well. Taking a look at the back of the package, you are going to find the slogan "Every PC needs good graphics" with a paragraph explaining the need for lower end graphics cards. There are three pictures on the back of the package showing you that the card will give you gorgeous graphics, fantastic video, and premium Windows 7 experience.
Once you open up the package, you are going to see a brown box that houses the Inno3D GT240 card along with the Installation Kit. The Installation Kit is where you are going to find the CD that has the drivers you need to install on your computer for the card to properly work, as well as some extra bundled software that you can install if you wish. Inno3D did pack the GT240 nice and safely inside of the brown box that is going to keep it from being damaged while it was being shipped and they also they decided to put it in an anti-static bag, which protects it further during the shipping process and when the consumer gets the package.
Even though there were no accessories with the Inno3D GT240, that does not alone mean the card is not worth getting. Now that we know how the card is packaged, it's time to take a nice close look at the card itself.
