KNOWN ISSUES FOR iDRAC 2.00
######################################################################
This section provides additional information about known issues with
the iDRAC Firmware version 2.00
* iDRAC power consumption numbers do not match values displayed in CMC
Currently CMC displays per-blade real time power consumption values on the
Chassis -> Power Management -> Power Consumption page in watts AC but
iDRAC GUI displays the same value in watts DC.
* Using virtual devices on VMware(R) ESX Console, after an iDRAC Update
Please reboot the managed server running VMware ESX 3.x one time
after an iDRAC update is completed. This will ensure that VMware ESX
re-enumerates the virtual devices and enables virtual floppy and virtual
CDROM features of the iDRAC. After that reboot, the virtual devices,
including virtual Floppy, work fine.
* Possible Active Sessions vs. Current Active Sessions in Server
Administrator
In Server Administrator, the number of "Current Active Sessions"
displayed for iDRAC refers only to the number of current IPMI transaction
sessions active, and does not include web GUI or ssh/SM-CLP sessions.
* Using special keys in "keyboard passthrough" mode
Special keys such as the Microsoft(R) Windows(R) key, CTRL-Prnt Scrn,
and ALT-Function key combinations in keyboard passthrough mode will be
problematic, as some combinations are sent to the Viewer itself and
might produce undesirable behavior. Special provision is made in the
Java and ActiveX viewers for macros under the Keyboard menu pulldown
which allow the user to send such combinations and special keys
directly to the managed server.
* Accessing remote floppy disks and CD-ROMs from (VMWare) VMs
Accessing remote floppy disks and CD-ROMs from (VMWare) VMs is NOT
supported.
Only devices directly connected to an ESX server or a floppy or CD-ROM
ISO image present in the ESX Service Console can be made accessible to
the VM. Avoid this issue by creating an image of the floppy or CD-ROM
and copying it to the Service Console.
* Updating iDRAC using DOS update utility, from a PXE network setup
