Release Notes

Limitations on VMware ESXi operating systems
● When the small footprint CIM broker (SFCB) configuration is set to read only mode in VMware ESXi operating system, iSM-
Windows remote management (WinRM) commands such as iDRACHardreset, and EnableInBandSNMPTraps does not
function.
Workaround: User can use Invoke-iDRACHardReset utility to perform the iDRAC hard reset operation.
● The iDRAC Access via Host OS feature is not supported on VMware ESXi Operating Systems.
● When Local Racadm set is disabled through iDRAC interfaces:
○ iDRAC Service Module will fail to configure the OS to iDRAC Pass-through in the USB NIC mode.
○ iDRAC Service Module functionality is restored when Local racadm set is enabled.
● EventID for Lifecycle Controller Logs replicated to OS log will be 0 for some of the past events.
● TrapID for In-band SNMP Traps will be 0 for some of the past traps.
● When iDRAC Hard Reset is disabled in iDRAC and user performs iDRACHardReset from the Hypervisor operating systems
like VMware ESXi, the result indicates success although iDRAC is not reset.
