Release Notes

• The default time zone value is US Central Time. To make sure Single Sign-On (SSO) and
Directory Service TFA (smart card) continue to work properly, the iDRAC time zone must match
the time zone where iDRAC is located, assuming Active Directory server's time zone is already
configured to match the Active Directory's location. For example, if Active Directory server is
located at US Eastern time zone and iDRAC is located at US Pacific time zone, Active Directory
server has to be configured as US Eastern time zone (this is Active Directory server configuration
and is normally configured), and iDRAC must be configured as US Pacific time zone.
For more information to configure the time zone, see the iDRAC7 User's Guide.
• If the management station is using MAC operating system, it takes more time to launch the
Virtual Console due to the following DNS search issue:

• For iDRAC7 1.30.30 or later versions, if the iDRAC is configured using the Import Configuration
XML operation, "user password is changed" messages are logged in the Lifecycle Log. An LC Log
entry is generated and the default settings are applied for all local user accounts that are not
configured through the XML configuration file.
• The help page for the Export and Import of Server Profile feature does not provide the correct
share name. See the Web Services Interface Guide available at www.dell.com/support/manuals
for the correct share name.
• Remote Sys Log settings take effect only if you do the following:
− Enable remote syslog feature
− Specify the server address and port number
− Enable Remote SysLog option on the Alerts page
• When IVYBRIDGE CPU is installed on PowerEdge R720, R720xD, R620, T620, or M620 systems,
the iDRAC7 firmware update from 1.45.45 to an earlier version is not allowed (example, from
1.45.45 to 1.40.40 or to 1.37.35, and so on).
• When creating a Virtual Media image from a folder, the output image file size is at least 512 MB.
• To launch Virtual Console using Java plug-in, only JavaWebStart versions 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7 from
Sun (Oracle) is supported. Any other versions or any other installations are not supported.
• On a server running RHEL operating system, performing the following steps can create a
eth*.bak interface (where * is the interface number). This is visible in the Network Manger
interface. This interface can be safely ignored.
1. After the operating system (RHEL) is running, enable OS to iDRAC Pass-through channel
through the iDRAC Web interface.
2.
Disable OS to iDRAC Pass-through.
3.
Reboot or power cycle the server, and then re-enable OS to iDRAC Pass-through.
• When upgrading the iDRAC firmware from any version earlier to 1.30.30 to 1.30.30 and later, the
Alert destination addresses resets to zeros. The same is applicable when downgrading from
version 1.30.30 or later to any previous version. In such a case, reconfigure the Alert Destination
IP addresses (
Server -> Alerts -> SNMP and Email Settings ).
• Any change in VNC server settings disconnects the active VNC session.
