* The "Boot Once" feature allows DRAC 4 to boot from a remote floppy
or a CDROM only once. When this feature is used, the DRAC 4 will
drop the client connection to the Virtual Media plug-ins on the
second system boot. This feature is useful for operating system
installation, where "bootstrap" media is typically used to copy the
new operating system to the target system.
A new object named "cfgVirtualBootOnce" has been added to the
Virtual Media configuration group "cfgRacVirtual." This object
can be set to TRUE or FALSE. The default state is FALSE. When the
state is TRUE, the DRAC 4 firmware will monitor system boots and
drop the client Virtual Media connection on the second system boot.
This will cause the system to boot only once from a bootable remote
floppy/CD. On the second boot the value of "cfgVirtualBootOnce" will
be reset to FALSE.
* The DRAC 4 Web-based interface does not display the connection
status of the Command Line Interface Virtual Media. (145750).
* While generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) (using "racadm
sslcsrgen -g"), the local racadm interface on the host becomes
unavailable. Use remote racadm or the racadm available on serial or
telnet command lines instead. (128951)
* A device that is present on the system, but which is currently
locked for exclusive use by another application is not selectable
for use as Virtual Media. To make the device available, the other
application must be closed. When the application is closed,
click the "Refresh" button on the Virtual Media page to be able to
select the device entry. (140665)
* DDNS events can be found in the trace log. This log is viewable by
using the "gettracelog" command on the Web-based interface
Diagnostics page or by using "racadm gettracelog". (142025)
* The DRAC 4 Managed Node software must be installed for accurate
population of the "Hostname", "OS Name", and "OS Type" information
fields in the Web-based interface and racadm getsysinfo command.
(138737)
* The DRAC 4 Console Redirection remains active even after the GUI has
timed out. (140522)
* An expired SSH session will return the error message "Warning:
Idle Timeout Expired" only after a carriage return has been entered.
You will then be returned to the shell from which SSH was
invoked. (139801)
* If there is a video corruption while using Console Redirection, you
can refresh the Console Redirect screen by clicking "Refresh" on the
Console Redirect window. You may need to click "Refresh" multiple
times to correct the video corruption problem. (140915)
