Basic Installation of the iDRAC6 53

Linux

If you are running Console Redirection on a Red Hat

Enterprise Linux

(version 4) client with a Simplified Chinese GUI, the viewer menu and title

may appear in random characters. This issue is caused by an incorrect

encoding in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 4) Simplified Chinese

operating system. To fix this issue, access and modify the current encoding

settings by performing the following steps:

Open a command terminal.

Type “locale” and press <Enter>. The following output is displayed.

LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8

LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_NUMERIC="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_TIME="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_COLLATE="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_MONETARY="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_MESSAGES="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_PAPER="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_NAME="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_ADDRESS="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_TELEPHONE="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_CN.UTF-8"

LC_ALL=

If the values include “zh_CN.UTF-8”, no changes are required. If the

values do not include “zh_CN.UTF-8”, go to step 4.

Navigate to the

/etc/sysconfig/i18n

file.

In the file, apply the following changes:
