* Server Administrator registers DRAC 4 on DNS if you click the
"Register DRAC 4 on DNS" check box in the Configuration Tab
Network page. This action deactivates the following controls:
"DNS DRAC 4 Name," "Use DHCP DNS Domain Name," and "DNS Domain
Name."
If the "Use DHCP DNS Domain Name" control is activated, the DHCP
DNS Domain Name is used to register the DRAC 4 on DNS. Else, the
DNS entered in the "DNS Domain Name" is used.
* The DNS DRAC Name is a string of up to 63 alphanumeric ASCII
characters or dash (-). The DRAC 4 web-based interface only
allows the DNS DRAC 4 Name field in the "Network Configuration"
page to be set with values smaller than 63 characters. The DNS
Domain Name is a string of up to 254 alphanumeric ASCII
characters, dot(.) or dash(-). This name cannot begin with a dot.
The DRAC 4 web-based interface only allows the DNS Domain Name
field in the "Network Configuration" page to be set with values
smaller than 80 characters. (140875)
* Any DRAC reset while performing a firmware update will cause the
update to fail. A DRAC reset can be performed as part of various
diagnostic tests. It is best not to run other applications while
performing any firmware update. In most cases, you can simply
run the DRAC firmware update again and it will succeed. (63462)
* Supported video modes for use with DRAC console redirection are
described in the DRAC 4 User Guide. The maximum resolution
supported is 1024x768 pixels.
Text console video modes are expressed in characters rather than
pixels, such as 80x25. Higher resolutions, such as 132x43,
require an effective pixel resolution greater than the 1024x768
and are not supported. The exact pixel resolution of a text mode
is determined using a combination of values including parameters
the font used and the character width and height of the display
mode selected. The recommended text mode for use with DRAC
console resolution is 80x25. (71716)
* When typing on the remote console, multiple characters appear
on one keystroke, if a DRAC card is running on a system
having the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system.
This is because the SUSE Linux default keyboard repeat rate
was set too low. This is the time period that the operating
system allows before it starts entering multiple keystrokes.
By default it was set to the lowest value of 250 ms. If it is
set to 400 ms, the runaway keyboard problem goes away.
* To change the keyboard delay with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
operating system, do the following:
1. From the main K menu (Circular green icon with the SUSE trade
mark), select "Control Center."
