* For updating DRAC 5 firmware through the Web GUI, ensure that

a valid .d5 image file and path are provided in the text box on the

firmware update page.

* The Kerberos based Single Sign On and Smart Card TFA feature does

not work with Windows server 2008 64 bit domain controllers

unless the following steps are performed on the domain controller:

1. While generating the keytab using "ktpass", the +setPass option

needs to be supplied as an additional argument.

2. There is also another known issue which hampers Kerberos

authentication. See the following KB article to resolve the

issue: “http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951191”.

MAC Address Assignment between LOM and DRAC

DRAC," the DRAC firmware assigns a separate MAC address for LOM and

the DRAC 5.

CONFIGURING THE RAC CARD FOR FLASH RECOVER MODE

######################################################################

1. Connect the RAC card to a TFTP server using a network cable to

the system network or a cross-over cable to the host system.

2. Point the TFTP server root path to the folder containing the

firmware update image, "firmimg.d5".

3. Using the BIOS setup screen, configure the system serial mux such

that the RAC card is connected internally to the external DB-9

serial port.

4. Install a NULL modem cable between the system DB-9 serial

port and a client machine.

5. On the client machine, open a terminal communications program

like "HyperTerminal" or "Mini-Comm" using, [1] baudrate=115200,

[2] bits=8, [3] parity=none, and [4] flow control=none

6. Enter a carriage return and a "RAC Recover Mode" prompt should

appear. If not, then you may not be in recover mode. Recheck

the serial mux and terminal settings.

7. View "recover network settings"

RAC Recover> recover getniccfg

8. If needed, set static network settings (DHCP is NOT supported in

recover) RAC Recover> recover setniccfg <IPaddress>
