KNOWN ISSUES
####################################################################
Known Limitations:
1. KVM hot-key keyboard sequences are not supported during
a KVM flash update. If the user attempts to hot-key from a blade
that is performing a KVM flash update, the flash update may fail.
To recover, execute the flash update again.
2. KVM hot-key keyboard sequences and On Screen menu commands
are not supported during an DRAC/MC flash update. If the user
attempts to hot-key or invoke On Screen Menu during MMB flash
update nothing will happened.
3. For a mouse to correctly function in the GPM service on a system
running the Red Hat(R) Enterprise Linux (version 3) update 3 operating
system, the mouse must be recognized by the operating system. When
using a mouse connected to the KVM, it is possible that the mouse
being reported to the operating system is different than the actual
mouse attached. This may result in mouse movement generating erratic
movement or potentially random text on the command line. To correct this,
run redhat-config-xfree86 to initialize the mouse, and then use
redhat-config-mouse to install a generic three-button mouse driver for
the presently-installed mouse.
