LC supports the following characters for username and password:
Alphabets (a-z, A-Z)
Numbers (0-9)
Special characters (-, _, .)
2.
If there are no slots available to add a new user in iDRAC, the Group Manager Job for
Add New User
shows a failure with error
GMGR0047
. Use the web interface (
iDRAC Settings
>
Users
) to verify the number of iDRAC local users.
3.
If the user does not exist on a specific iDRAC, Group Manager Jobs for
Change User Password
and
Delete User
show a
failure with error
GMGR0047
. Use the web interface (
iDRAC Settings
>
Users
) to verify that the user exists.
Automation — API and CLI
1.
Sometimes, when using WSMan, an Internal SSL Error is reported and the WSMan command fails. If this issue occurs, retry the
command.
2.
Using WSMan, the attribute
LCD.ChassisIdentifyDuration
cannot be set to
-1 (indefinite blink)
. To make the LED blink
indefinitely, use the
IdentifyChassis
command with
IdentifyState=1
.
3.
RACADM supports the underscore character (_) for
iDRAC.SerialRedirection.QuitKey
along with the existing symbols
shown in the integrated help.
4.
Using remote RACADM, if you use the
racadm hwinventory export
command to export the hardware inventory using an
incorrect CIFS share, an incorrect message is displayed:
RAC930 : Unable to export the hwinventory
. If the issue
persists, restart iDRAC and retry the operation after iDRAC has finished restarting.
5.
If iDRAC is in lockdown mode and you run the command 'racadm rollback', followed by the command 'racadm resetcfg', an incorrect
message is displayed:
ERROR: A firmware update is currently in progress. Unable to reset the RAC at
this time
. Reboot iDRAC to display the correct error message.
6.
While using a
Top
or
Skip
command, if you enter a value greater than the unsigned long type (4,294,967,295), you may get an
incorrect error message.
7.
You cannot use the FQDD of iDRAC (iDRAC.Embedded.1) when changing iDRAC mode from Shared LOM to Dedicated.
BIOS and UEFI
1.
When setting the iDRAC Service Module (iSM) monitoring attributes from the web interface, if the BIOS watchdog timer is enabled,
an error may be displayed but the attributes are set. To avoid the error, disable the BIOS watchdog timer or disable the iSM Auto
System Recovery and then apply the attributes.
