* Manual operating system installation requirement when using
"virtual floppy"
When using Virtual Media to install an operating system, the
following is required to allow the Installation to complete
successfully:
When installing drivers using a floppy disk, ensure the Virtual
floppy device is set as the first device in the Boot sequence in the
System BIOS (F2). 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 drivers and complete the Windows and other
installation.
* Configuring the "Host Name String" using the iDRAC6 Configuration
Utility with Server Administrator (OMSA) installed -
OMSA takes precedence. OMSA sets the "Host Name String" every time
it starts up. Given above, even if "Host Name String" is set using
the iDRAC6 Configuration Utility, it will be overwritten by OMSA
when it starts up.
With OMSA not installed -
The iDRAC6 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 that the user has 'administrator' privileges
when it is used.)
Note: 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.
