DRAC 5 Console Redirect will not work.
Hello all,
I have a Dell Poweredge 2950 II server. Everything is going well with it. However, the DRAC 5 card is having some issues. Everything seems to work fine, expect the console redirect. I've tried three different browsers, Firefox, Chrome and IE all with errors. All three bark at me about certificate errors of course.
WIth IE and Chrome, I get the message:
| A DRAC 5 error has occurred. |
| Description:The Virtual KVM plug-in is not installed or running. | |
Resolution:
|
With Chrome, I don't get an option to install a plugin, but with IE I do, and I clicked install, restarted the browser and everything, but still no luck.
However, with Firefox, I created a security exception, and when I click connect, the window shows nothing. Just a white screen.
Any ideas? .
No Events found!

Hello
Modern browsers and applications have very restrictive security. The DRAC 5 has not received firmware updates to security that will allow it to work with modern browsers. If you want to use the DRAC 5 you will need to bypass or disable security within the browser and Java/ActiveX.
Thanks
