DRAC : Unable to use it for OS installation ? is it normal ?

[Florent Gilain]

ok, because during my tests, I was (or the remote virtual storage) was disconnected after few minutes...maybe is there a timeout to configure somewhere in the drac virtual cdrom/iso menu ?

Ps : each time i use the latest 5.5 SUU DVD iso/dvdrom to update my PE servers (1950/2950..), DRAC firmware update always fails in SUU...

I just did that, updated a couple of PE2950 with el4 to el5 via ISO
mounted from my workstation.

Be sure to use the latest firmware for the drac, I think it is 1.40 and
1.50 for drac 4 and 5.
