iDRAC - Important Notes
• 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 iDRAC web interface.
•
For the virtual console and virtual media to function properly, iDRAC8 web URL must be added to the Local
Intranet site list and the security level for the Local Intranet zone must be set to Medium-Low. In addition, if
Virtual Console and Virtual Media are configured to use Java plug-in, disable the Enhanced Security Mode
in Internet Explorer. If this is not possible, then in iDRAC8, 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 iDRAC8 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.
