Release Notes


 After adding or removing new hardware, system inventory page may not update the changes automatically. This is
because inventory data collected during manufacturing process may not be updated with new changes.
Resolution: Select "Ctrl+E" during BIOS POST and enable "Collect System Inventory on reboot". Save and exit from
"Ctrl+E" option, then reboot the system to collect the new system inventory. After the Inventory is collected, the
“System Inventory” page in the iDRAC6 Web interface displays the correct Hardware and software inventory data.
 Virtual MAC under “System Details” page is not populated if system inventory was not run from iDRAC Web
interface before entering system details page. This is because the inventory data may not be available for Virtual
MAC to display.
Resolution: Click “System Inventory” on the iDRAC GUI homepage. Ensure that inventory data is displayed on the
inventory page. After the data is loaded, click on the “System Details” tab for Virtual MAC to display the inventory
data, if the system supports this feature.
 While accessing iDRAC6 Web-interface through IPv6 network using Mozilla Fire Fox 4.0 or later, accepting CSR
certificate throws as error message "An error has occurred during a connection to <server certificate info>, Peer
certificate issuer has been marked as not trusted by the user. (Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)."
Resolution: Create a certificate request and issue to trusted domain. Register it to domain DNS server. Use trusted
domain name, instead of the IPv6 address.
 The RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC6 1.7, iDRAC6 3.2, and CMC 3.2 defines RACADM command
"ärp" displays interface as "Device". However, for Rack and Tower servers, the interface is displayed as "iFace".
 iDRAC browse a page that uses JavaScript functions to retrieve page data, the progress bar in Internet Explorer
may not always be accurate.
 The iDRAC6 1.70 User Guide mentions that disabling Smart Card Logon sets the CLI out-of-band interfaces
including secure shell (SSH), Telnet, Serial, and remote RACADM to their default state. This should be read as "On
disabling Smart Card Logon, CLI out-of-band interfaces including secure shell (SSH), Telnet, Serial, and remote
RACADM retain their state".
 To successfully launch Virtual Media, ensure that you have installed a 64-bit JRE version on a 64-bit operating
system with 64-bit browser or a 32-bit JRE version on a 32-bit operating system with 32-bit browser. iDRAC6 does
not support 64-bit ActiveX versions. Also, ensure that for Linux, the "compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61" related
package is installed for launching Virtual Media. On Windows, the package may be included in the .NET framework
package.
 The RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC6 1.7, iDRAC6 3.2, and CMC 3.2 defines, RACADM command
"racdump" displays Trace log information gettracelog, RAC event log getraclog, System event log getsel. There is a
separate command available to display Trace logs, RAC logs, and SEL logs.
 You must disable the Internet Explorer "Enhanced Security Mode" for the Java-based virtual console and virtual
media plug-in to function properly. Else, specify the ActiveX plug-in in the iDRAC6 configuration instead of Java. In
addition, you must add the iDRAC6 web URL to the Intranet security zone only. Also, this zone settings must be
"Medium-Low" or lesser, for the control to function properly.
 Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) Version 1.7 User Guide specifies "iDRAC Settings" instead of
"Remote Access" in the navigation paths mentioned in the procedural steps.
 The expiry date of the iDRAC default certificate is changed to 2023. To get this updated certificate, clear the
"Preserve Configuration" option while updating iDRAC6 firmware using the Web interface. Make sure to delete the
cache from the Web interface (Internet Explorer and Firefox).
While using the Firefox Web browser, an error may be seen if the certificate contains the same serial number as
another certificate. Use the following link or procedure to resolve the same. (support.mozilla.com/en-
