Linux-Based Management Station; Configuring Virtual Media - Dell IDRAC6 User Manual

Linux-Based Management Station

To run the Virtual Media feature on a management station running the
Linux operating system, install a supported version of Firefox.
A 32-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is required to run the Virtual
Console plugin. You can download a JRE from java.sun.com.
CAUTION:
To successfully launch Virtual Media, ensure that you have installed a
32-bit or 64-bit JRE version on a 64-bit operating system or a 32-bit JRE version on
a 32-bit operating system. iDRAC6 does
ensure that for Linux, the "compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61" related package must be
installed for launching Virtual Media. On Windows, the package may be included
in the .NET framework package.
