IMPORTANT NOTES AND KNOWN ISSUES FOR iDRAC6 3.20
######################################################################
This section provides important notes and additional information about
known issues for the iDRAC6 Firmware version 3.20:
* If you are upgrading from iDRAC versions 2.1 or 2.2, you must first
install iDRAC version 2.30 or 2.31 before installing the 3.20 version.
* To use Virtual Console with Java plug-in, the supported JRE version
is 1.6.0_20 or higher.
* When the JRE is configured to verify the certificate against
a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) and/or online certificate
validation the certificate validation may sometimes fail. This
is because the Certificate Authority (CA) that issued the certificate
is not accessible due to connectivity problems or is not
responding in a timely manner. In such cases, wait and retry at
a later time.
* Remote Services: When using TFTP to download an ISO image to the
vFlash, if the image exceeds the free space on vFlash, no error message
will be generated. However, subsequent operations on the ISO will
fail.
* On certain hardware configurations, based on the firmware release,
firmware downgrades are not allowed.
* For Remote Enablement auto-discovery, ensure that the user ID on
the provisioning server does not contain any spaces, as iDRAC6 user
IDs may not contain spaces. If a user ID containing spaces is
configured on the provisioning server, the auto-discovery process
may be successful, but the resulting iDRAC6 account will not be usable.
* If you run Dell Update Packages (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. If this
occurs, the vFlash SD card will have to be re-initialized.
* Updating iDRAC6 using the DOS Utility when DOS is booted using PXE.
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. When the image is stored on non-local
devices like a network drive, PXE server drive, and so on, the iDRAC6
update on multiple systems must be sequenced that is, it should be
done one system after the other. After the first system completes the
update, the second system starts the update. After the second system
completes the update, the third system starts the update and so on.
* On systems running Windows operating systems, the
Explorer window(s) for any media does not close automatically if you
remove the media. You must close the window(s) after you remove
