In OMPC, you can discover and manage devices by using multiple protocols. For example, to manage servers-you can use the

IPMI or the Redfish protocol. OMPC does not change the protocol in use for devices discovered earlier. If you want to change

the protocol to manage a device, you have to delete the device discovered using a protocol and rediscover with the other

protocol.

NOTE: You cannot discover the Non-Dell servers through the Redfish protocol.
