* Remote Services: Installing SLES 11 remotely is not functional at
this point.
* If you reconfigure your client system’s display language, ensure
that the “Language for non-Unicode programs” setting matches the
selected “Display language”. If these settings do not match, some
or all of the ActiveX vKVM display elements (menu items, dialogs,
and so on) may not display properly. For more information about
setting the display language and system locale, see the Windows
Help and Support center on your system.
* After a firmware downgrade, the iDRAC6 configuration needs to be
reset to default values using "RACADM racresetcfg" or using the
iDRAC6 Configuration Utility (Ctrl-E) in POST. This is not
applicable when upgrading iDRAC6 firmware.
* For Remote Enablement auto-discovery, ensure that you do not
assign a user ID with spaces on the provisioning server. This is
because even though this user ID will be successfully downloaded
and provisioned on iDRAC6 during the auto-discovery process, the
account will not be usable as iDRAC6 rejects any user ID with
spaces.
* For ESX 4.0, if you try to install Dell Update Packages (DUPs),
Systems Build and Update Utility or OpenManage Server Administrator
(OMSA) using vMedia, the installation fails. 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 iDRAC6 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 iDRAC6. After the reboot, virtual devices
including virtual floppy, work as expected.
* The iDRAC6 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 iDRAC6s 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
