• To execute iDRAC DUPs in XenServer 5.6, you must install the procmail package. You can install the procmail
RPM in CentOS 5.4 i386, which can be downloaded from any public site that hosts CentOS packages. However,
it is recommended not to install any RPMs manually on XenServer, instead download and install the
OpenManage 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.
•

bit SP2 or R2 Enterprise Management Station:

•
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 WS-MAN 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).
• RACADM sslkeyupload command is not supported on the 11th generation of PowerEdge blade servers.
