iDRAC8 - Important Notes
• License Requirements: Software licensing has replaced hardware licensing. For more
information, see the
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 8 Version 2.00.00.00 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 iDRAC8 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.
