Viewing the Most Recent Boot Sequences
If you experience boot problems, you can view the screen activity of what
happened during the last three boot sequences from the Boot Capture
screen. Playback of the boot screens occurs at a rate of 1 frame per second.
iDRAC6 records fifty frames during boot time. If iDRAC is reset, the boot
capture video is not available since it is stored in RAM and is deleted when
iDRAC resets.
Table 19-5 lists the available control actions.
NOTE: You must have administrator privileges to view playback of the Boot Capture
sequences.
