Release Notes

To work-around the multiple keystrokes, the user can disable the
keyboard character repeat feature or change the repeat delay to
longer and the repeat rate to slower on the server side.
* In the DRAC 5 Firmware Version 1.0 User's Guide, Table 1-6,
"Supported Web Browsers," the supported Mozilla Firefox Web browser
should be "Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 (32-bit)."
* You might encounter virtual drive issues when copying large files
to the DRAC 5 virtual flash. In order to avoid these issues, you
should not attempt to copy large files from the local drive to the
DRAC 5 virtual flash on systems running Windows or Linux operating
systems. If you need to copy large files, you can create an image
of the files to be copied and then use the GUI flash update to
update the virtual flash.
If you receive an error message from the host operating system
that the copy failed when copying large files to the DRAC 5 virtual
flash from a local drive, then your DRAC 5 virtual devices (DVD/CD
ROM, floppy, and flash) will be offline. In order to get your
DRAC 5 virtual devices back online, you can detach and re-attach
the virtual devices from the DRAC 5 GUI or CLI, or you can reboot
the server. (67123)
* When accessing the virtual flash feature via the DRAC 5 GUI to either
configure or use it, you will notice a "Virtual Flash Enabled" checkbox
on the configuration page that is used to enable/disable the Virtual
Flash feature. However, when you proceed to the Virtual Flash page the
status of this feature is represented by the "Virtual Flash Attached"
attribute. If "Virtual Flash Attached" is set to "Yes", the Virtual
Flash feature is enabled (checked) via the configuration page. If set to
"No", the Virtual Flash feature is disabled (unchecked) via the
configuration page. (68818)
* For the Virtual Flash feature to be functional and to see the Virtual
Flash as a drive on the server, the Virtual Media must be attached
and the Virtual Flash must be enabled. To confirm that these features
have been attached and enabled, go to the Media configuration page of
the DRAC 5 GUI and make sure that the "Attach Virtual Media" check
box and the "Virtual Flash Enabled" check box are checked. (68818)

KNOWN ISSUES FOR DRAC 5 WITH FIRMWARE UPDATE
######################################################################
* Network traffic may cause the firmware update to timeout. If the
firmware download procedure exceeds 15 minutes, the DRAC will
timeout, cancel the firmware download procedure, reset, and then
return to normal operation.. To work around this issue, transfer the
firmware flash image to a local drive on the server. Using Console
Redirection, connect to the remote system and install the firmware
locally using local racadm.
