Release Notes

file:///T|/htdocs/SOFTWARE/smdrac3/idrac/idrac20modular/en/readme/readme.txt[10/26/2012 1:22:48 PM]
The iDRAC can be updated using the DOS utility when DOS is booted
using PXE. However, the new FW image has to be on a local media on the
server for this to work properly. Local media can be a RAMDISK, HD or
USB key on the server. Alternatively, the update of iDRACs on
multiple servers has to be sequenced; that is, done one server after the
other, with the 1st completing update and the 2nd starting update and
so on to 3rd after 2nd is done, 4th after 3rd is done.
* RACADM restore default configuration behavior
The racresetcfg command in RACADM restores all properties except cfgDNSRacName
in the cfgLanNetworking group to their default values.
* Configuring iDRAC using RACADM config
The actual time the user needs to wait after executing the racresetcfg command
within racadm may vary depending on the network speed.
* iDRAC Media Redirection using floppy disks on Microsoft Windows Vista(R)

The iDRAC's IP address needs to be added to the 'Trusted Sites' list,

station running Windows Vista with IE7.
