-PowerEdge 6850 (PCI slot 6 or 7; Dell recommends using PCI slot 7)
* On page 218, the second setrac example which states "The UTC time
and managed system name are..." should read "The managed system
name is..."
* In Chapter 5 section "Using Active Directory to Log In to the DRAC
4", the parenthetical fragment "where username is an ASCII string
of 1-256 bytes" should read "where "<domain>/<username>" is an
ASCII string of 1-254 bytes."
* In Chapter 2 section "Registering the DRAC Host Name With DNS Using
DHCP", the note on page 29 reads as follows: "When you configure the
DRAC, the DHCP server must also be configured to perform the DNS
database update."
If the DRAC is configured to register the DRAC Host Name with DNS
using DHCP ("cfgDNSRegisterRac" object value to 0 and"cfgNicUseDhcp"
object value to 1), this note means that the DHCP must be
configured to have the "Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records
for DHCP clients that do not request updates" option enabled and
a minimum of Option 15 (DNS Domain Name) added to the
specificDHCP scope.
Be aware of the following behaviors when configuring the DRAC:
-- If the DRAC is setup with "cfgDNSRegisterRac=0" and
"cfgNicUseDhcp=1" with NO scope options added and the
"Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that
do not request updates" NOT selected, the DHCP database will
properly show the host name of the DRAC but the DDNS
functionality will NOT work.
-- If the DRAC is setup with "cfgDNSRegisterRac=0" and
"cfgNicUseDhcp=1" with NO scope options added and "Dynamically
update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request
updates" IS selected, the DHCP database will properly show the
host name of the DRAC but the DDNS functionality will NOT work.
-- If the DRAC is setup with "cfgDNSRegisterRac=1" and
"cfgNicUseDhcp=1" with NO scope options added and "Dynamically
update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request
updates" NOT selected, the DHCP database will NOT properly show
the host name of the DRAC but the DDNS functionality will work.
-- If the DRAC is setup with "cfgDNSRegisterRac=0" and
"cfgNicUseDhcp=1" with scope option 15 added and "Dynamically
update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request
updates" NOT selected, the DHCP database will properly show the
host name of the DRAC but the DDNS functionality will NOT work.
