iDRAC7 - Important Notes
• After an iDRAC7 firmware update, a few of the iDRAC7 Web interface panels or navigation menu
items may contain incorrect or invalid entries. To resolve this, clear the browser cache(s) after
updating the iDRAC7 firmware.
• License Requirements:
− Software licensing has replaced hardware licensing. For more information, see, the Dell License
Manager User's Guide
.
− Lifecycle Controller features such as Auto Discovery and vFlash are now licensed. Install the correct
licenses for Lifecycle Controller Remote Services to work properly.
• Only if there is one or more network interface cards (NDC or LOM) present on the managed
system, Network Devices appears under Overview -> Hardware section in the iDRAC7 Web
interface.
• When using iDRAC7 Web interface in Firefox 3.6 if the SD card is removed while partition
creation is in-progress, "The operation has been completed successfully" message is displayed.
• For the Virtual Console and Virtual Media to function properly, iDRAC7 Web URL must be added
to the Local Intranet site list and the security level for the Local Intranet zone should be set to
Medium-Low. In addition, if Virtual Console and Virtual Media are configured to use Java plug-in,
then disable the Enhanced Security Mode in Internet Explorer. If this is not possible, then in
iDRAC7, configure Virtual Console to use the ActiveX plug-in.
• If the instant messenger is launched in the Virtual Console viewer with ActiveX native plug-in
and another application is started (example Notepad, WordPad, and so on) without minimizing
the Virtual Console, the instant messenger box also pops-up on other applications. This does
not happen with Java plug-in.
• When a system is in POST, it is not possible to attach a vFlash partition as the first boot device.
• Virtual Console Viewer from iDRAC7 Web interface terminates when the managed system is
restarted.
• A pop-up message is not displayed to confirm if test emails are successfully sent or not.
• For iDRAC7 Enterprise, when the Virtual Console is disabled and Virtual Media is disabled and/or
detached, the console port (default: 5900) remains open. For iDRAC7 Express (no Virtual Console
or Virtual Media) the console port is open.
• If auto-negotiation is enabled while setting iDRAC7 network, 1 Gbps is not supported and you
cannot manually select it.
• A USB device mounted through Virtual Media in floppy emulation mode for a Linux operating
system shows as a removable volume.
• During system power operations, if the video mode changes, the message "Out of range" may
appear for a short while on the Virtual Console.
• When using the Virtual Console in native console mode with "Pass all keystrokes to server"
disabled in Internet Explorer versions 8 and 9, if an F1/F2 prompt is encountered, pressing F1
displays the Virtual Console online help pop-up in addition to continuing with the system boot.
• When any of the storage enclosure components are removed, the corresponding details are not
displayed. Only the name and status attributes are displayed.
• When certain RAID operations are requested using WS-MAN on non-RAID cards such as, the
Dell SAS 6Gbs HBA or the Internal Tape Adapter, the operation succeeds, however the job fails
with the error message "Unable to locate device in current configuration".
• If the iDRAC7 network is configured to use a shared LOM and the spanning tree is enabled on
the LOM port, WS-MAN and remote service commands may time-out in the following scenarios:
− At system reboot
