3. To avoid the "Login Failure" error when launching Virtual Media, make sure to clear
the WebStart cache so that the new viewer is downloaded. To do so, run "javaws viewer"
from a DOS prompt and then select and clear out all the WebStart applications in the cache.
4. For viewing the Dell signed certificate instead of the Avocent signed one:
a. Uncheck "Preserve Configuration" option while updating the firmware via GUI.
b. Clear the client java cache using the command "javaws -viewer".
5. In order to meet the factory requirements, after updating firmware using DOS
utility, it will wait for 90 seconds before returning to command prompt.
