these applications will launch the inventory collector. This in
turn causes a USB reset, thus disconnecting the vMedia from
where the Systems Build and Update is running.To work around this
issue, disable the "System Services" using iDRAC6 Configuration
Utility (Ctrl-E) in POST, and then use the OM DVD. The "System
Services" can be re-enabled after the OM DVD installation is
complete.
* If you run DUPs when vFlash is in use, the vFlash is disconnected
and reconnected. If a write operation is in progress, this action
can corrupt the vFlash contents.
* Reboot the managed system running on VMware ESX 3.x operating
system after an iDRAC update is completed. This ensures that
the VMware ESX operating system re-enumerates the virtual
devices and enables virtual floppy and virtual CD-ROM
features of the iDRAC. After the reboot, virtual devices
including virtual floppy, work as expected.
* The iDRAC can be updated using the DOS utility when DOS is booted
using PXE. However, the new firmware image has to be on a
local media on the system for this to work properly. Local
media can be a RAMDISK, HD or a USB key on the server.
Alternatively, the update of iDRACs on multiple systems has
to be sequenced. It should be done one system after the other,
with the first system completing update and the second system
starting update and on to the third after the second is done,
and fourth after the third is done, and so on.
* On systems running Windows operating systems, the Internet
Explorer window(s) for any media will not close by
themselves if you remove the media. You must close the
window(s) after you remove the media.
On systems running Linux operating systems, the Internet
Explorer window(s) for any media will close by
themselves if you remove the media.
* iDRAC Linux DUPs do not support VMware ESX 4.0 operating
systems. If the Linux DUP for iDRAC is run on VMware
ESX 4.0, the DUP will fail.
You can update iDRAC6 using one of the following methods:
- CMC GUI-based update
- iDRAC-GUI-based update
- SM-CLP-based update
* iDRAC Windows DUPs do not support Windows Server 2008 R2
operating systems. If the Windows DUP for iDRAC6 is
run on Windows Server 2008 R2, the DUP will fail.
