Release Notes

− For SLES 11 SP2:
A prompt appears for the Super user password in the operating system console. Provide the root
password and proceed with the graceful shutdown or firmware/BIOS update.
− For Windows OS in screen lock state:
Graceful shutdown does not happen because, Windows operating system has a policy setting to
disable shutdown while in locked state. Make sure that this policy is enabled.
If it is not enabled, then it proceeds with ungraceful shutdown. This is equivalent to losing power.
After the server resets, multiple options are displayed to start Windows. Select Start Windows
Normally and then check the System Event Log file. You can see that an event is logged in for the
ungraceful shutdown.
• In the iDRAC Web interface > Overview > Server > Lifecycle Log page, when the filter criteria
results in nothing found, the Log Results section does not display any user-friendly information
and it is blank instead.
• VNC disconnects after host reboot on Wyse PocketCloud,
• Encrypted VNC does not work through Real VNC client.
• VNC does not work through mobile when encryption is enabled.
• OS to iDRAC communication through the USB NIC interface is not supported on RHEV – H
(hypervisor) system.
• OS to iDRAC pass-through feature does not work when the host operating system is Linux.
• iDRAC Virtual NIC driver is not loaded when Windows 2008 SP2 (64 bit) installation has
completed.
• When Virtual Console is in Lifecycle Controller, if Next Boot is set to BIOS Setup , rebooting the
system boots to Lifecycle Controller instead of BIOS Setup.
• If the http or https service port is set to 1 or 65535, and if you launch the iDRAC7 Web interface
using Google Chrome browser, it does not launch iDRAC7. This is because of a limitation in the
Google Chrome browser. The resolution is to use Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
• You cannot start the iDRAC after updating the NIC firmware, because the update process resets
NDC. To resolve this issue, reset iDRAC after updating the NIC firmware.
• When iDRAC NIC is in shared mode and the host system is power cycled, the network
connection is lost for a few seconds. During this time, if you perform any action in the active
VNC client, the VNC session may close. You must wait for time out (value configured for the
VNC Server settings in the Services page in iDRAC Web interface) and then re-establish the VNC
connection.
• The ports 6000-6063 are reserved for x-server display. Hence, any service configured with these
ports on iDRAC is unsuccessful. Use ports other than 6000 to 6063 to configure the service.
LC2-RS - Fixes
PCIe SSD configuration should be blocked through Remote Services.
