Release Notes

Open Issues, Resolutions, and Limitations
Fixed Issu es/def
 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, an error message is not generated. However, subsequent operations on the ISO fail.
 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 is 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 must
be re-initialized.
 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 such as a network drive, PXE server drive, and so on, the
iDRAC6 update on multiple systems must be sequenced, that is, 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 the media.
 On systems running Linux operating systems, the file browser window(s) for any media closes automatically if you
remove the media.
 iDRAC6 Linux DUPs do not support VMware ESX 4.0 operating systems. If the Linux DUP for iDRAC6 is run on
VMware ESX 4.0, the DUP fails.
You can update iDRAC6 using one of the following methods:
o CMC Web interface
o iDRAC6 Web interface
o Remote RACADM
 In Internet Explorer 8.0, if you receive the message "A webpage is not responding on the following website", see:
o "//blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2009/05/04/ie8-in-windows-7-rc-reliability-and-telemetry.aspx"
o "//support.microsoft.com/?kbid=970858"
 In Internet Explorer 7.0, if several tabs are open and you launch the iDRAC6 Virtual Console, all the tabs are
hidden while the Virtual Console is open. If the tab warning is turned off and you close the Virtual Console, all the
tabs and the browser closes without warning. To prevent this, go to "Internet Properties" > "Tabs" > "Settings" and
select the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" option.
