Users Guide

Using iDRAC Service Module, you can receive SNMP alerts from the host OS which is similar to the alerts that are generated by iDRAC.
NOTE: By default this feature is disabled. Though the In-band SNMP alerting mechanism can coexist along with iDRAC SNMP
alerting mechanism, the recorded logs may have redundant SNMP alerts from both the sources. It is recommended to either use
the in-band or out-of-band option, instead of using both.
NOTE: You can use the In-band SNMP feature on 12
th
generation of Dell’s PowerEdge Servers or later with a minimum iDRAC
rmware version 2.30.30.30.
For more information, see In-Band iDRAC SNMP Alerts whitepaper.
Enable WSMAN Remotely
Currently with the WMI information feature, you can connect to the host Microsoft Windows WMI namespace to monitor the system
hardware. The WMI interface on the host is enabled by default and you can access it remotely. However, if you wish to access the WMI
interfaces using WINRM’s WMI adapter, you have to enable it manually as it is not enabled by default. Using this feature, you can access
the WINRM WMI namespaces remotely by enabling it during installation.
This feature can be accessed using PowerShell commands. The commands used are as follows:

Auto-updating iDRAC Service Module
You can auto-update the iDRAC Service Module. It aims at making the update process easier for you, by integrating iSM update with the
iDRAC auto-update process.
NOTE
: If iDRAC auto-update is enabled, iDRAC Service Module LC DUP must be updated to the latest version from dell.com/
support.
NOTE: You do not have to download the updates from support.dell.com. The updated iSM package is locally available in iDRAC.
NOTE: iDRAC Service Module LC DUP in iDRAC will be removed when the iDRAC LC Wipe option is used. You will have to
download the iDRAC Service Module LC DUP from dell.com/support.
