Operating system information
Server Administrator currently shares operating system information and host name with iDRAC. The iDRAC Service Module provides
similar information such as host OS name, server host IP address information, OS version, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) with
iDRAC. The network interfaces on the host OS are also displayed. By default, this monitoring feature is enabled. This feature is available
even if Server Administrator is installed on the host OS.
Starting iDRAC Service Module 2.4, you can also view VLAN, IPV6 policy table, or such information through Redfish client plug-in for
browsers.
NOTE: The minimum iDRAC firmware version required to view information using Redfish client is 3.00.00.00.
