ISSUES FOR RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM
======================================================================
* Servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4 will log an
informational message in /var/log/messages when the virtual CDROM
is enabled and there is no connection to a virtual media client.
No corrective action is needed. The warning message will look
like this example:
Dec 1 10:16:28 r2p2 kernel: Device not ready. Make sure there
is a disc in the drive
* In modular Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernels, USB flash drives
require the sd_mod (scsi disk module) to be loaded. If a
Red Hat Enterprise Linux-based Virtual Media client system has no
SCSI disks, the sd_mod may not load during startup and will require
manual loading. To load sd_mod manually, type this command as the
root user:
modprobe sd_mod
(140798)
* When the DRAC 4 resets, the virtual drives disappear. On Red Hat
Enterprise Linux version 4, hot plug IDE is not supported -
the system may hang when a remount of the virtual drives is
attempted. Do not attempt to remount virtual drives after a
firmware update; you must restart the server to regain access
to the drives.
* When using Console Redirection on a managed system running Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, the focus (cursor moved back over an object)
follows the cursor. Occasionally, the text windows in Console
Redirection lose focus. Before attempting to type in a text window
in a Console Redirection window, click the mouse in the text
window's space bar or top menu bar to ensure that your target text
window has the focus on the correct window or application that you
are attempting to use.
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 4) operating system requires an
updated driver (ide-scsi) for the virtual CD to work. This driver
is available on the "Dell PowerEdge Service and Diagnostics" CD.
