Release Notes

Supplemental Pack from support.dell.com. It contains the procmail package and is the supported method for
installing third party packages and applications in XenServer.
• When using the virtual console on RHEL with Firefox browser, if the network connection to the iDRAC is lost a
blank message box may be displayed. If the network connection is restored the message box may eventually
display the “Virtual Console is restarted” message and then closes. Normally the message is immediately displayed
in the message box but on rare occasions this may not happen. The display of the message is controlled by the JRE
and if the blank message box is seen this is not an iDRAC firmware issue.
• To launch iDRAC6 Virtual Console using Internet Explorer 7.0 32-bit with Java plug-in from Windows 2003 32-bit
SP2 or R2 Enterprise Management Station:
1.
Open IE 7.0 browser window.
2.
Click Tools -> Internet Options -> Security tab.
3.
In the Select a zone to view or change security setting section, select Trusted Sites .
4.
Click Custom level .
5.
Under Downloads , enable Automatic prompting for the file downloads .
6.
Click OK and again click OK . The changes are applied.
• The WS-MAN CQL filtering implementation in this release is experimental, and it is recommended not to use this
currently.
• The embedded NIC MAC addresses displayed under System -> Properties -> System Details are the server-assigned
MAC addresses. If the MAC addresses are remotely managed or chassis-assigned, the active MAC addresses are
available under
System -> Properties -> WWN/MAC .
• When launching the iDRAC Web interface and iDRAC virtual console from the Chassis Management Controller Web
interface within a few seconds of each other, the iDRAC Web interface may have a session timeout. This can also
happen any time the virtual console is launched from the Chassis Management Controller after the iDRAC Web
interface has been launched from the Chassis Management Controller. This is expected behavior because of
browser session management.
• Remotely managed MAC addresses require appropriate hardware and firmware. To fully enable remote
management of MAC addresses, CMC 3.20 (or later) must be installed.
• In the iDRAC Web interface, System -> Logs -> Work Notes page, the note about the length of a new work note
indicates that the maximum number of characters supported is 50.
• When using the WSMAM DCIM_RAIDService GetAvailableDisks method to retrieve specific RAID devices, the XML file
passed to the command contains a “RaidLevel” value for the selection. No error checking is done on the RaidLevel
Value. Therefore, if an incorrect or invalid value is specified, incorrect results may be returned (for example,
“abcd” becomes “0”; “64.999” becomes “64”). The RaidLevel specified must be an appropriate integer RAID level
value (“1”, “2”, “4”, “64”, “128”, “2048”, “8192”, “16384”, per
DCIM_VirtualDiskView.mof ).
Known Issues
Fixed Issu es/def
Issue 1
Description
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.
Resolution
Wait and retry at a later time.
Versions/Systems Affected
All iDRAC6 supported Dell PowerEdge systems.
