Dell IDRAC6 manual Configuring Virtual Media, Linux-Based Management Station, 257

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 not support 64-bit ActiveX versions. Also 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.
