* 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)
