* The "connect" to server command enables the user to access the server's
serial port through CMC's serial port. After this connection the user
will be able to see the server's console redirection through CMC's serial
port.
Following are the prerequisites for this feature:
1. The server should be Powered on.
2. Serial redirection has to be enabled in the servers BIOS Setup.
3. Not all keys will work so the user has to provide appropriate
escape sequences for "CTRL+ALT+DEL" etc. The initial redirection
screen displays the necessary escape sequences.(184385)
* If you setup Active Directory (AD) on the CMC using extended schema and the
built-in Administrator privilege object and then attempt to login to the CMC
User Interface using this AD account, after successful AD login, the user
name and privilege level displayed on the right hand side of the User Interface
just beneath log out link is displayed as a custom user rather than the
privilege as created on the AD side (example: Administrator, power user).

* Using the RACADM command line utility if you attempt to set the DNS
CMC Name or DNS Domain Name without the proper rules (Rules: start
with an alphabetic character (a-z, A-Z) and follow by an alphanumeric
(a-z, A-Z, 0-9) or a valid symbol (such as -)) then the utility will
display a non-specific error message (ERROR: Unable to perform requested
operation). Please enter a valid name for the above mentioned names.

* If the standby CMC firmware was updated at a previous time and later
made active, you will see an entry in the CMC log (raclog) that states
the firmware update was successful but with the most recent time stamp.
This is because the standby CMC cannot register its entries to the
logs until it becomes active. (186858)
* If using ‘racadm fwupdate’ to update a second component firmware image,
the user should check the status of the first update using the
‘racadm fwupdate –s’ command prior to attempting a second firmware
update. (230487)
* A 'racadm config' operation may fail, due to configuration property
definition changes across Firmware versions. For example, if the set of
allowable values for a configuration property has been changed, and a snapshot
of the prior values (from 'racadm getconfig') is used in a 'racadm config'
operation on a newer version of firmware, the prior values may no longer
be accepted, and thus cause the racadm config operation to fail.(229764)
To resolve this issue, comment out the prior value in the captured file,
and restart the 'racadm config' operation.
The following lists the racadm property definitions that differ, depending
on the CMC firmware version:
