Release Notes

until it reaches the session timeout. This reduces the available Web sessions

for logging into the iDRAC until it times out. This session can be closed

through the “racadm closessn” command or by navigating to the iDRAC Sessions

GUI page at "System / Remote Access / iDRAC6" > "Network/Security" > "Sessions".

* When using the iDRAC Virtual Console to connect to a managed server with a

recent Linux distribution operating system installed, you may experience

mouse synchronization problems. This may be due to the Predictable Pointer

Acceleration feature of the GNOME desktop. For proper mouse synchronization

in the iDRAC Virtual Console, this feature must be disabled. To disable

Predictable Pointer Acceleration, in the mouse section of the

/etc/X11/xorg.conf file, add: Option "AccelerationScheme" "lightweight".

If synchronization problems continue to be experienced, make the following

additional changes: In the <user_home>/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/

%gconf.xml file, change the values for "motion_threshold" and

"motion_acceleration" to "-1".

* To use Virtual Media with recent Windows releases on the management station,

you should log into the management station with an Administrator's account.

If you do not, the CD/DVD redirection may not work properly and may cause

continuous USB bus resets. If this happens, set the “Attach Virtual Media”

option to “Detach” to stop the USB bus resets and allow CD/DVD redirection

to work properly when you log in again with an Administrator's account.

* When you create a vFlash partition from an image file using the GUI or

RACADM, if you do not have an open browser for the iDRAC GUI, you will not

be able to connect to the GUI until the create operation is completed. If

you need to connect to the iDRAC GUI, you must first have the browser

connected to the iDRAC URL to have access. This is important when a large

partition is being created from an image file since it may take a long

time to complete.

* If the browser is enabled to use a proxy server, you will not be able to

connect to the iDRAC GUI. The browser must be set to not use a proxy

server for the iDRAC IP address.

* The mention of WS-MAN support for digest authentication in chapter 16 of

the User Guide is incorrect. iDRAC6 does not support digest authentication.
