Release Notes

• When a system is in POST, it is not possible to attach a vFlash partition as the First Boot Device.
• Virtual Console Viewer from iDRAC7 Web interface terminates when the managed system is restarted.
• If common logging is enabled in iDRAC7, CEM storage inventory takes more than 40 minutes. If common logging is
disabled (default setting), CEM storage inventory takes up to four minutes for the maximum configuration.
• A pop-up message is not displayed to confirm if test emails are successfully sent or not.
• For iDRAC7 Enterprise, when the Virtual Console is disabled and Virtual Media is disabled and/or detached, the
console port (default: 5900) remains open. For iDRAC7 Express (no Virtual Console or Virtual Media) the console
port is open.
• If auto-negotiation is enabled while setting iDRAC7 network, 1 Gbps is not supported and you cannot manually
select it.
• A USB device mounted through Virtual Media in floppy emulation mode for a Linux operating system shows as a
removable volume.
• During system power operations, if the video mode changes, the message Out of range may appear for a short
while on the Virtual Console.
• When using the Virtual Console in native console mode with Pass all keystrokes to server disabled in
Internet Explorer versions 8 and 9, if an F1/F2 prompt is encountered, pressing F1 displays the Virtual Console
online help pop-up in addition to continuing with the system boot.
• When any of the storage enclosure components are removed, the corresponding details are not displayed. Only the
name and status attributes are displayed.
• When certain RAID operations are requested using WS-MAN on non-RAID cards such as, the Dell SAS 6Gbs HBA or
the Internal Tape Adapter, the operation succeeds, however the job fails with the error message
Unable to
locate device in current configuration
.
• If the iDRAC7 network is configured to use a shared LOM and the spanning tree is enabled on the LOM port, WS-
MAN and remote service commands may time-out in the following scenarios:
o At system reboot
o When CSIOR is running
o While entering SSM
The connectivity lost is variable. In typical cases, it is approximately:
o 40 seconds at system reboot and varies per NIC or link speed
o 20 seconds when CSIOR is running
o 40-60 seconds while entering SSM
The reason is that when spanning tree is enabled, the switch does not allow the link to re-establish the connection
after a reset until it completes checking for network loops. Server reboots reset the NIC and disconnects the link.
Note : This does not occur while using dedicated NIC because server reboots do not affect the dedicated NIC.
• When logging in to iDRAC7 Web Interface using Internet Explorer 9 and IPV6 address, the connection may not
succeed. To resolve this, make sure that in Internet Explorer >
Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN
Settings
, the Use automatic configuration script option is cleared.
