Dell iDRAC6 tweaks

Currently, my iDRAC 6 has a self-signed SSL certificate, so I must use Internet Explorer 11 or Google Chrome, which will allow me to get to the management page.




1. A series of "undefined" was all over the page.  Solution:  add the iDRAC IP address to the "Compatibility View settings" of IE 11.




2. Keyboard would not work in the Virtual Console.   Solution:  add the iDRAC IP address to the "Trusted Zones" of IE 11.


3. To mount Virtual Media, go to the iDRAC main console. Select "Console/Media".  Once on the "Console/Media" tab, select Configuration (as seen below).





Scroll down to Media section and change the "Status" from 'Detached' to 'Auto Attach'.  Apply saved settings.  





Then when you open the "Virtual Media" dropdown of Virtual Console, you can attach an ISO/img file to mount and check the "Mapped" checkbox.  Upon reboot of the Dell Server and hit F11, the BIOS Boot Manager will show Virtual Floppy and Virtual CD to boot from.
