iDRAC - Limitations
• If floppy emulation is enabled when a bootable USB key is mounted as a Virtual Media from the Virtual
Console and if you try to delete any file from the mounted USB key (floppy), the blue screen appears
immediately.
• Web server session time-out is not exact. It is either 10% more or 15 seconds more, whichever is greater.
•
WinRM and RACADM commands may become unresponsive during BIOS update or when setting BIOS,
NIC, or RAID attributes through Lifecycle Controller.
•
If invalid credentials are used for the maximum login attempts, the IP is blocked for the duration of the IP
Blocking Penalty Time and a message is not displayed.
If Internet Explorer (IE) 64-bit browser is used to log in to iDRAC8 Web interface and when viewing the
power usage graph, the X and Y axis labels appear too small to read. This is a known limitation for IE 64-bit
only. The labels appear correctly in IE 32-bit browser.
•
On Linux management stations, if Firefox is launched from the root user, a USB key is mapped in Virtual
Media successfully. If Firefox is launched from any user other than the root user, a USB key is not shown for
mapping because the user must have root privileges to access all the low-level drives.
•
Alert notification for battery events does not work.
•
Operating system information on the System Summary page does not display after rebooting iDRAC8 until
the operating system is rebooted.
•
iDRAC8 users with user names containing a semi-colon (;) cannot log in to iDRAC8 through SSH.
