Release Notes

• The default time zone value is US Central Time. To make sure Single Sign-On (SSO) and
Directory Service TFA (smart card) continue to work properly, the iDRAC time zone must match
the time zone where iDRAC is located, assuming Active Directory server's time zone is already
configured to match the Active Directory's location.
For example, if Active Directory server is located at US Eastern time zone and iDRAC is located at
US Pacific time zone, Active Directory server has to be configured as US Eastern time zone (this
is Active Directory server configuration and is normally configured), and iDRAC must be
configured as US Pacific time zone. For more information to configure the time zone, see the
iDRAC8 User's Guide .
• If the management station is using MAC operating system, it takes more time to launch the
Virtual Console due to the following DNS search issue:

• The help page for the Export and Import of Server Profile feature does not provide the correct
share name. See the Web Services Interface Guide available at Dell Tech Center for the correct
share name.
• Remote Sys Log settings take effect only if you do the following:
- Enable remote syslog feature
- Specify the server address and port number
- Enable
Remote SysLog option on the Alerts page
• When creating a Virtual Media image from a folder, the output image file size is at least 512 MB.
• To launch Virtual Console using Java plug-in, only JavaWebStart versions 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7 from
Sun (Oracle) is supported. Any other versions or any other installations are not supported.
• On a server running RHEL operating system, performing the following steps can create an
eth*.bak interface (where * is the interface number). This is visible in the Network Manger
interface. This interface can be safely ignored.
1. After the operating system (RHEL) is running, enable OS to iDRAC Pass-through channel
through the iDRAC Web interface.
2.
Disable OS to iDRAC Pass-through.
3.
Reboot or power cycle the server, and then re-enable OS to iDRAC Pass-through.
• Any change in VNC server settings disconnects the active VNC session.
• USB NIC is supported on RHEL 6.5 32-bit and RHEL 6.5 64-bit operating systems. On any Linux
operating system, for https://idrac.local to work, the avahi, nss-mdns, and dependent packages
must be installed.
• CIFS supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses but NFS supports only IPv4 address.
• During POST, if the system displays cable detect message: "CBL0001: Backplane 0 power cable
disconnected", you must check all the backplane cables as this message is not limited to
Backplane 0 only.
• Do not reboot the host while RAID rebuild is in-progress. If the host is reset, IDSDM is also reset.
