KNOWN ISSUES FOR DRAC 5
######################################################################
* When viewing the Web user interface on a Dell PowerEdge 1900 system
that is configured with one NIC, the NIC Configuration page displays
two NICs (NIC1 and NIC2). This behavior is normal. The PowerEdge
1900 system - and other PowerEdge systems that are configured with a
single LOM - can be configured with NIC teaming. Shared and Teamed
modes work independently on these systems.
* The allowed RACADM Serial Escape Key (cfgSerialConsoleQuitKey)
values are as follows:
(a) ^ followed by any alphabetic (a-z, A-z)
(b) ^ followed by the listed special characters: [ ] \ ^ _
* The supported Console Redirection video refresh rates are:
- 720x400 [70 Hz]
- 640X480 [60, 72, 75, 85 Hz]
- 800X600 [60, 70, 72, 75, 85 Hz]
- 1024X768 [60, 70, 72, 75, 85 Hz]
- 1280X1024 [60 Hz]
Certain configurations of refresh rates may not work for
Linux operating systems on the managed system. This may happen
because the Linux operating systems allow a range of refresh rates
instead of a fixed refresh rate.
* When you update the DRAC 5 firmware, the update resets the DRAC 5,
detaches USB devices from the BUS, and disconnects remote Virtual
Media. Before you perform a firmware update or RAC reset, it is
recommended that you perform the following procedures:
- Ensure that Virtual Flash is unmounted or not in use by another
user.
- Disconnect and unmount Virtual Media.
* When you access the DRAC 5 GUI through the Web browser, you are
required to add the DRAC 5 IP address to the list of trusted domains
if the IP address is missing from the list. When completed, click
Refresh or relaunch the Web browser to reestablish a connection to
the DRAC 5 GUI.
* The DRAC 5 GUI is not supported on 64-bit Web browsers. If you open
a 64-bit browser, access the "Console Redirection" page, and attempt
to install the plug-in, the installation procedure fails. If this
error was not acknowledged and you repeat this procedure, the
"Console Redirection" page loads, even though the plug-in
installation fails during your first attempt. This issue occurs
because the Web browser stores the plug-in information in the
