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
locally using local racadm. Recommended network bandwidth for
firmware update is 256 kbps.

virtual flash has been formatted by the managed system operating
system (for example to NTFS format), the update will not work.
* The configuration is backed up during a firmware upgrade which may
result in some configuration parameters to be retained even
if they are required to change. Perform a racadm racresetcfg
to get the new configuration parameters. This is particularly
