Click Apply at the bottom of the screen.In the Virtual Console section, locate the Plug-in Type drop-down menu and select Java ( Native is the default).Select System from the right menu and then click Console/Media.Here's one way to switch from Native to Java consoles (note: Java Runtime is required as well). UPDATE: I found that the 3rd solution I found works for me, I just didn't know how to do it. I closed Internet Explorer, relaunched it, logged in, launched the Virtual Console.and still no dice. So I downloaded Oracle Java Runtime 7 and installed it (despite my worries of the infinite exploits running around on the Internet and the frequent news releases of security problems with Java). From a quick search, I was able to see that JNLP are Java files, and I don't have Java Runtime installed on my computer, so the file would not open. I was able to login and when I tried to launch the console, a JNLP file downloaded to my computer to run. None of these things were problems for me, so I tried to run the console in Google Chrome.the browser I normally use for the Internet. by adding the new iDRAC IP to Trusted Sites in IE. It seems to be a problem with iDRAC plugin on my local computer. Login to your DRAC and change the console type from Native to Java. I replaced the card with one running the current firmware (because I was also unable to update the firmware remotely) and the problem was solved. I had a defective iDRAC expansion card with outdated firmware.After some digging, I was able to get my keyboard working again within the Virtual Console Native Plugin by updating the firmware. Problems first appeared after I changed the IP address on the iDRAC config.I dug a little bit on the Internet and found two suggestions: When I launch the virtual console for the server my iDRAC is installed on, I am able to see the screen and to click on the logon buttons, however when I want to type anything.no text is passed to the console.
