Co-existence of OpenManage Server Administrator
and iDRAC Service Module
In a system, both OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) and the iDRAC Service Module can co-exist. If you enable the monitoring
features during the iDRAC Service Module installation, after the installation is complete, if the iDRAC Service Module detects the presence
of OMSA, iDRAC Service Module disables the set of monitoring features that overlap. The iDRAC Service Module keeps polling OMSA and
its features. At any time if the OMSA service stops, the respective iDRAC Service Module feature is enabled.
