Release Notes

iDRAC6 v3.85.03 5
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 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.
Known issues
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 PowerEdge systems.
Issue 2
Description
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 fails.
Versions/Systems affected
All iDRAC6 supported PowerEdge systems.
