That was an old Cisco server, right? I think those models still require Flash even if they're fully updated, and people have to use VMs with Flash installed to access the BMC.

Yep. I think you may be right, it’s EOL and probably doesn’t have any more updates available. I have a VM for when I need old Java, but I was going to need an older VM to run Flash, and that just wasn’t how I wanted to spend my time. :D
