Release Notes

* The SOL proxy is unable to start a console redirection session from
the Windows command prompt (you can access the Windows command
prompt by clicking the "Start" button and selecting "Run," then
typing "cmd.exe" in the "Run" dialog box). The following message is
displayed on the management station:

ISSUES FOR DELL POWEREDGE 1855 SYSTEMS
=====================================================================
The following items apply only to Dell PowerEdge 1855 systems.
* Any host application that communicates with ports 623 and 644
cannot be executed from LOM_1 (the first one) of a server module.
If you attempt this, the network packets will be sent to the BMC
instead of the host. Use LOM_2 instead and ensure that the IP
address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway settings for the LOM_1 and
the BMC match, to prevent possible network disruptions.
* The following subsection explains how to identify and resolve a
possible IP address conflict.
Problem: An "IP address conflict" message is displayed after
assigning identical IP addresses to Local Area Connection and the
BMC as instructed.
Cause: When the operating system first detects hardware devices
such as the onboard network adapters, the order in which the
devices are enumerated is not guaranteed. Therefore, LOM_1
(the first one) may be assigned Local Area Connection #2 and LOM_2
may be assigned Local Area Connection #1. Due to this switch, when
you assigned identical addresses to the BMC and Local Area
Connection, in reality, identical addresses are being assigned to
the BMC and LOM_2. This creates the IP address conflict.
NOTE: The lower-number MAC address will be LOM_1.
Workaround: Go to "Start -> Network Connections." Click "View" and
select "Details." This will display the full information for the
Local Area Connections. Right-click "Local Area Connection" and
rename it as "Local Area Connection #2." Rename the already
existing "Local Area Connection #2" to "Local Area Connection."
This ensures that the Local Area Connection names are matched to
the correct onboard NICs. Now assign identical IP addresses to
Local Area Connection and the BMC.
