Important Notes
You must disable the Enhanced Security Mode in Internet Explorer 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.
To successfully launch Virtual Media, make sure 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, make sure 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.
When the SSL encryption strength is set to "168-bit or higher" or "256-bit or higher" and a
downgrade is performed to firmware version 1.97 or lower, the encryption strength defaults to
Auto-negotiate. After this if you upgrade the firmware to version 1.98, the encryption strength is
set to the previously set "168-bit or higher" or "256-bit or higher" value.
