Invalid CD/DVD-ROM Selection Error When Attempting To Attach Virtual Media ISO on DRAC
This issue is isolated to Internet Explorer 8, I have tried this on multiple systems running version 8 and all have the same problem. When you try and attach the media it throws an error saying "Invalid CD/DVD-ROM Selection" and the CD/DVD-ROM drive path behind the error is changed to C:\fakepath\whatever.is. This issue does not occur in Internet Explorer 7 and I would assume would be fine in version 6.
I called Dell technical support and the error can be resolved by adding the IP address as a trusted site in Internet Explorer 8. Once that is done you should be able to connect your ISO. The person I talked to at Dell had never seen this error so it could possibly be fixed with a future firmware upgrade. Nevertheless it is another example of the problems encountered when forcing users to use Internet Explorer due to ActiveX rather than creating web based software that relies on open standards.
