Release Notes

• 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 iDRAC7 until the
operating system is rebooted.
• iDRAC7 users with user names containing a semi-colon (;) cannot log in to iDRAC7 through SSH.
• In the iDRAC7 Web interface, the power consumption sensor reading may have a rounding error of up to 13 Watts
depending on the actual power reading. This is an IPMI limitation. The power cap, power graphs, cumulative
power, and peak power are not affected by this inaccuracy. However, the power values shown in the power graphs
are average values over a period of time and should not be used to calculate instantaneous power.

• In the iDRAC7 Web interface, while viewing the CPU details under Overview > Hardware , the CPU status is
displayed with a warning icon for a CPU that is absent and the status is blank.
• Virtual Console uses self-signed certificates. Due to this, when launching Virtual Console from some management
stations with Windows operating systems, a certificate warning appears.
• Virtual Console in dual monitor mode is not supported and hence the behavior is undefined, especially using Java
plug-in. The primary console is used as the target console.
• The e-mail address specified in iDRAC7 Web interface -> Overview -> iDRAC Settings -> Network -> SSL ->
Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR) page is not validated.
• On a Linux management station with Matrox drivers, from the Virtual Console Viewer if you access the iDRAC Chat
window, the mouse appears flickering inside the chat window.
• Work notes can display up to 255 characters. If any of the characters are special characters or non-alpha numeric
characters, then the total number of characters displayed is less than 255 to accommodate overriding special
characters.
