Release Notes

(155784)
* Legal values for “cfgDNSRacName” are strings of up to 254 ASCII
characters. At least one of the characters must be alphabetic.
Characters are restricted to alphanumeric and '-'.
* The user password can consist of 16 characters if you configure it
through the Remote Access Configuration Utility. However, if you
configure the user password through the DRAC Web GUI, the password
can consist of 20 characters. This is a known limitation of the
Remote Access Configuration Utility (that you can access during the
system POST).
* While authenticating to the DRAC 5 using Active Directory, the login
may fail due to different time zone offsets on the DRAC card and the
operating system. To enable DRAC to have the same time zone offset,
use racadm to set “cfgRacTuneTimeZoneOffset” to the time zone offset
as the operating system time. For more details see racadm User
Guide on the Dell Support website at “support.dell.com.”
* Enabling remote console redirection from managed node using “racadm
localConRedirDisable 0” command can return a failure status under
some conditions. This error message is not correct and the actual
command works correctly and enables the console redirection feature.
* When the servers with DRAC5 have a power supply supporting PM-Bus,
the voltage page on DRAC5 shows the voltage reading of power supply
as N/A.
* On VMware(R) ESX Server(R), DUP update fails with a error message “The DRAC
update requires that virtual media be attached to perform the
update. After attaching virtual media rerun the update to
upgrade the DRAC firmware.”
To work around this issue, do the following:
Attach virtual media (ensure that Virtual Flash is enabled)
Bind any free raw character device to the Virtual Flash
using the ‘raw’ command like following example:
raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdc
Where /dev/raw/raw1 is any raw device which is not already bound
to any block device and /dev/sdc is the Virtual Flash device.
You can find the list of raw devices already bound to a block
device using the following command:
raw –qa
This command will list query all the raw device bindings.
After this run the DUP update.

KNOWN ISSUES FOR DRAC 5 WITH FIRMWARE UPDATE
######################################################################
* Network traffic may cause the firmware update to time-out. If the
firmware download procedure exceeds 15 minutes, the DRAC 5 will
time out, 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
