- Hardware Log in Server Administrator and
- System Event Log (SEL)
These events are used by the Windows IPMI driver to store the
shutdown comment that describes why the system was shut down or
restarted. You can ignore these messages and can remove them by
clearing the SEL manually. You can prevent these events from being
logged in the SEL by uninstalling the Microsoft IPMI driver using
the "rundll32 ipmisetp.dll, RemoveTheDevice" command in the command
prompt. You can reinstall the driver using the "rundll32 ipmisetp.
dll, AddTheDevice" command. (44807)
* You must disable the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security
Configuration component to use the Virtual Media Active X Plugin
on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Internet Explorer. (24901)
* When adding Active Directory Universal Groups from separate
domains, you must create an Association Object with Universal
Scope. The Default Association objects created by the Dell Schema
Extender Utility are Domain Local Groups only and will not work
with Universal Groups from other domains. (33658)
* The Virtual Floppy is not available during an Operating System
installation that uses either the virtual CDROM or the local CDROM.
* The Microsoft Windows 2003 R2 operating system may show the
following events in the System Event Log (SEL) when a graceful
shutdown event, OS runtime stop event, or OS OEM event occurs:
System Event: Unknown Sensor type sensor unknown sensor status
System Event: Unknown Sensor status
System Event: OS watchdog unknown sensor status
* In previous DRAC 4 releases, the DRAC 4 sometimes stopped booting,
which then required that you re-install the DRAC firmware using the
firmware repair diskettes. This issue has been resolved in this
release and should no longer occur. (153802)
* The DRAC 4 does not check the static IP address and netmask for
validity, other than verifying the values are between 0 and 255,
and that the result is not 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255. (152586)
* When upgrading the DRAC 4 firmware from version 1.0, the
cfgDNSRacName property in the cfgLanNetworking group cannot contain
an underscore ("_"). You can substitute a different character in
the property, such as a dash ("-"), to perform the upgrade. An
example of a valid racadm command to set this property is:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSRacName RAC-xxxx
(151550)
* An Active Directory security certificate dated with a GMT timestamp
will be valid only after the RAC local time has passed this
