Release Notes
Be aware of the following behaviors when configuring the DRAC:
-- If the DRAC is set up with "cfgDNSRegisterRac=0" and
"cfgNicUseDhcp=1" with NO scope options added and the
"Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that
do not request updates" disabled, the DHCP database will
display the host name of the DRAC correctly but the DDNS
functionality will NOT work.
-- If the DRAC is set up with "cfgDNSRegisterRac=0" and
"cfgNicUseDhcp=1" with NO scope options added and "Dynamically
update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request
updates" enabled, the DHCP database will display the
host name of the DRAC correctly but the DDNS functionality will
NOT work.
-- If the DRAC is set up with "cfgDNSRegisterRac=1" and
"cfgNicUseDhcp=1" with NO scope options added and "Dynamically
update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request
updates" disabled, the DHCP database will NOT display the host
name of the DRAC correctly but the DDNS functionality will work.
-- If the DRAC is setup with "cfgDNSRegisterRac=0" and
"cfgNicUseDhcp=1" with scope option 15 added and "Dynamically
update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request
updates" disabled, the DHCP database will display the
host name of the DRAC correctly but the DDNS functionality will
NOT work.
-- If the DRAC is setup with "cfgDNSRegisterRac=0" and
"cfgNicUseDhcp=1" with scope option 15 added and "Dynamically
update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request
updates" enabled, the DHCP database will display the
host name of the DRAC correctly and the DDNS functionality will
work.
* If you are using GemSAFE smart cards, you may get an incorrect
PIN message even after entering the correct PIN for the smart card.
(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 the racadm User
Guide on the Dell Support website at “support.dell.com.”
