Dell iDRAC6 virtual console connection failed
Hi guys!
So I have iDRAC6 set up on a PowerEdge R710. Everything works fine, except whenever I try to launch the java virtual console, it gives me a "connection failed" error when trying to connect to the virtual console server..
I can confirm port 5900 and 5901 are not being blocked. I have also tried adding the domain/server address to the trusted sites and changing the activeX running settings appropriately as suggested as an earlier fix. Nothing helps. However, I am able to successfully launch the console on Java 7, but not on Java 8.
What changed? Any suggestions?

Hello
I would suggest reviewing the release notes of the firmware you are running on the iDRAC. There should be a section of supported browsers. There may also be additional instructions for certain browsers to function with the iDRAC listed in the release notes.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. I had already gone through the release notes before my first post, but I did go through them again. Everything seems to be in order. I am using a supported browser, operating system and Java version (all up to date). Any other suggestions?
Thanks
