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.
