Release Notes

* Virtual Media may not function properly on Windows operating
system clients that are configured with Internet Explorer Enhanced
Security. To resolve this issue, see your Microsoft operating
system documentation or contact your administrator.
* If you use Virtual Media and the Windows 2000 operating system CD
to install Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4, your system may
momentarily lose its connection to the CD drive during the
installation procedure, and the operating system may fail to
install properly. To fix this issue, download "usbstor.sys"
from the Microsoft Support website at support.microsoft.com and
run the program only on your systems that experience this issue.
See Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB823086 for more information.
* If Virtual Flash is enabled and does not contain a valid image
(for example the virtual flash contains a corrupted or random
image), you may not be able to install Windows 2000 locally or
remotely. To fix this issue, install a valid image on Virtual
Flash or disable Virtual Flash if it will not be used during
the installation procedure.
* Installing network and chipset drivers on the server causes the
Virtual Media connection to drop when configured in the Shared-NIC
mode. Installing the network or chipset drivers causes the LOM to
reset, which in turn causes network packets to timeout and
the Virtual Media connection to timeout and drop. To work around
this issue, copy the drivers from your virtual drive to the
server’s local hard drive. To prevent a dropped Virtual Media
connection from interfering with your driver installation
procedure, start the driver installation directly from the server.
* If you are installing the Windows operating System using the Dell
PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD and a slow network
connection, the installation procedure may require an extended
amount of time to access the DRAC 5 GUI due to network latency.
While the installation window does not indicate the installation
progress, the installation procedure is in progress.
* When viewing the Virtual Media Configuration online help,
note the following corrections in the Attributes section:
- "Maximum Number of Sessions" needs to state:
"Maximum Number of Sessions Displays the maximum number of
simultaneously active Virtual Media sessions."
- "Number of Active Sessions" needs to state:
"Displays the current number of active Virtual Media sessions"
- "Virtual Media Port Number" needs to state:
"Display and set the port number (in decimal) for Virtual Media
connection. Valid numbers are unused DRAC5 port numbers between
0 and 65535. Default=3668."
