Dell OpenManage Network Manager Release Note page 3

• Direct Access / Cut thru now permits cut and paste to/from the screen, reset-
ting of font size, control of the history and page buffer (in 50-line incre-
ments), and changing the color of font/background (4001). It also can ping
the selected device, or open the default browser, pointed to the selected
device. (14887)
• You must download the latest Adobe Flash to see all the new features. (11014)
In addition to Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Perl, web client requires a browser
that is current. Best practice is to use the most recent Firefox, Safari or
Chrome, but Internet Explorer 9 or later works too.
• SuSe Linux is no longer a supported platform. (13610)
• This version includes support for Red Hat 6.
NOTE:
When installing to Redhat 6.0, you must install the Redhat "compatibility libraries" from Redhat's
package manager before OMNM can successfully install. (12964)
• Beginning with this package, OMNM supports only 64-bit Linux, and no
longer supports 32-bit Linux. The installation classes now appear in the file
linux64.jar.
• CORBA is no longer supported, but SOAP and Web Services have been
improved with Ajax technology, and CORBA orbs often support Web Ser-
vices. (11513)
• Web Service Port Change: Web Services now use port 8089 (not 80). (18051)
• This release now includes JBoss 5.1, and the HA-JNDI port has been changed
from 3100 to 1100.
As an Administrator, you can configure a portlet's default display filter, then
click the portlet name and re-name it. For example, make the default filter in
Managed Resources display only Dell Routers, then click Managed Resources
in the upper left corner of the portlet to rename it Dell Routers. (15971)
