Limitation

• Do not specify user profile folders such as a desktop folder (C:\Users\administrator\Desktop) as

custom installation paths for installing iDRAC Service Module. This is because services running on the

system account cannot access such folders.

• On systems running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 operating system, a warning

message about the Dell Self-Signed Certificate for registering the Dell iDRAC Virtual USBNIC Device is

displayed during iDRAC Service Module installation. Click Install to proceed with the installation

(BITS113354).

• When OS to iDRAC Pass-through in the USB NIC mode is enabled with USB 3.0 enabled in BIOS,

iDRAC Virtual USB NIC driver does not load automatically on Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1. The

Intel USB 3.0 xHCI driver on Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Host OS is not recognizing the RNDIS

configuration during enumeration. This issue is specific to USB 3.0 and Microsoft Windows 2008 R2

SP1. To resolve the issue, manually load the Microsoft RNDIS driver on the Host OS (BITS239254).

• Lifecycle Controller logs are not seen in the new folder in the Event Viewer (169898) if you have

recently changed the folder name of the Lifecycle Controller logs in the Event Viewer, Microsoft

recommends that you reboot the operating system to be able to view the Lifecycle Controller logs

under the new view name (BITS113354).

• On Dell’s 12th generation of PowerEdge servers with iDRAC firmware version 1.57.57 or earlier,

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) feature is not active by default. The WMI feature is

automatically activated when iDRAC firmware version 2.10.10.10 or later is installed (BITS113354).

• On Windows operating system, a feature that is enabled using the installer and disabled using any

interface other than the installer, can only be enabled using the same interface or the installer in GUI

mode (BITS180635).

• If iDRAC Service Module 2.0 or later is used with an iDRAC firmware version prior to 2.10.10.10, the

WMI interface may stop responding. It is recommended to upgrade to the latest iDRAC firmware or

reset the iDRAC (BITS178203).

• Feature Lifecycle Log Replication on OS Log shows one-hour difference in the EventTimeStamp

displayed in OS log, when daylight saving is applied.

• The iDRAC Access via Host OS feature is not supported on VMware ESXi Operating Systems.

• The In-band SNMP Traps feature on Linux does not support AgentX protocol.

• When Local RACADM set is disabled through iDRAC interfaces, the iDRAC Service Module will fail to

configure the OS to iDRAC Pass-through in the USB NIC mode. If OS to iDRAC Pass-through in the

USB NIC mode is already configured, Watchdog feature will not work resulting in ASR000 event.

iDRAC Service Module functionality is restored when "Local racadm set" is enabled.
