Release Notes
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.
