Dell DRAC6 Blades



On the M1000e, occasionally clicking the Launch iDRAC GUI button for one of the blades will not complete

a single sign-on login due to a Dell limitation. Please log in manually in these cases.



When M600, M605 or M805 blades are discovered by the appliance as standalone Service Processors,

occasionally the SPAccess Browser and SPAccess Browser-AutoLogin buttons are not enabled in the Web

interface or in the DSView™ 4 software. If this occurs, please delete the Service Processor from the

appliance, reset the Service Processor, and then add the Service Processor back into the appliance.



Power information is not available from M600, M605 or M805 blades.



Virtual Media connections to the iDRAC6 blade Service Processors are not supported from the appliance

local port interface as the Service Processors do not natively support this environment.



Virtual Media connections from SPAccess sessions using the ActiveX viewer in the DSView™ software

proxy mode are failing. Please use the Java viewer for these functions, or use the ActiveX viewer through

the appliance Web interface or through the DSView™ software without enabling the proxy server.

Dell M1000e CMC



The login process for the M1000e may take up to 20 seconds after proper username and credentials are

presented, so it may take several seconds to access some features in the Avocent® Universal

Management Gateway appliance Web interface. For example, displaying power information may take

15-20 seconds for an M1000e chassis.



When connecting an M1000e chassis to a private port of the appliance, SPAccess AutoLogin sessions to

blades either directly or through the chassis may intermittently abort if using FF or IE. If this is seen, try

using Chrome.



Each SPAccess session launched to blades in a blade chassis using blade-through-chassis (use of the

single sign-on feature of the chassis to access the blades indirectly through the chassis) opens a separate

session on the chassis, so it is possible that all active sessions for the chassis may be consumed if multiple

sessions are launched in a short period of time. If this happens, please log out of active blade sessions and

allow time for the chassis to time out its sessions.



SPAccess sessions may now be successfully launched directly to Dell M610/M710 (iDRAC6) blade servers

with iDRAC6 Service Processor firmware 3.50; however, sessions launched through the chassis are still

failing. Please add or discover the individual iDRAC6 blades separately from the chassis (if this has not

already been done), then launch SPAccess sessions directly to the iDRAC6 blade server.

Dell iDRAC7 Monolithics and Blades



SPAccess Browser-only sessions may not work to an iDRAC7 when using the VGA Console. Manually

launch a new tab and browse using (https://<IP>) to the SP using the Browser Tabs on the VGA Console.



The Dell iDRAC7 Service Processor does not natively support Internet Explorer 11 without compatibility

mode set in the browser. Please also set compatibility mode when SPAccess sessions are launched.

FTS iRMC



Power data can be retrieved from FSC iRMC service processors only if their firmware includes the DCMI

IPMI extensions (such as the Intel Node Manager).

FTS iRMC S2



Power data can be retrieved from FSC iRMC S2 service processors only if their firmware includes the

DCMI IPMI extensions (such as the Intel Node Manager).



iRMC S2 SPs that use log in passwords containing the ampersand (&) character cannot be discovered or

managed by the Avocent® Universal Management Gateway appliance. The SP can be discovered and

managed when the login passwords do not contain the ampersand character.
