This will allow the Operating System to see the required mass storage
device drivers on the floppy to complete the installation.
This way, the drivers in the floppy can be used to install the storage
etc drivers and complete the Windows / Other installation.
* Configuring the 'Host Name String' using the iDRAC Configuration
Utility
With Server Administrator installed -
Server Administrator takes precedence. Server Administrator sets the
'Host Name String' every time it starts up. Given above, even if
'Host Name String' is set using the iDRAC Configuration Utility, it
will be overwritten by Server Administrator when it starts up.
With Server Administrator NOT installed -
The iDRAC Configuration Utility can be used to configure the 'Host
Name String'.
* Accessing remote floppy disks and CD-ROMs from (VMWare) VMs
Accessing remote floppy disks and CD-ROMs from (VMWare) VMs is NOT
supported.
Only devices directly connected to an ESX server or a floppy or CD-ROM
ISO image present in the ESX Service Console can be made accessible to
the VM. Avoid this issue by creating an image of the floppy or CD-ROM
and copying it to the Service Console.
* Using the VMCLI tool from within a system running Windows Vista
To use VMCLI from within a system running Windows Vista -
The user has to start up the 'cmd' with 'Run as Administrator'.
(VMCLI requires the user has 'administrator' privileges when it is
used.)
NOTE: The user can log in as a non-admin user, but when using VMCLI,
the user has to start 'cmd' with 'Run as Administrator' privilege
thereby giving them admin privileges to enable using VMCLI.
* Uploading image from multiple management systems to the virtual
flash at the same time has to be avoided in order to prevent image
corruption
* The name of the firmware image file for iDRAC6 is firmimg.d6
* If the network cable to iDRAC6 is disconnected and then connected
again, iDRAC6 will not negotiate a new IP address until the
current lease expires.
