Users Guide
NOTE: When SNMP Get feature is enabled, it creates an iDRAC user “iSMSnmpUser” for SNMPv3 support internally. If the
user already exists, iSM logs an error message saying "Unable to create the "iSMSnmpUser" on iDRAC because the
username already exists. Then SnmpGet via Host OS feature is disabled." and the feature is disabled. In such cases, the you
must remove the “iSMSnmpUser” in iDRAC and disable and enable the Enable SNMP Get via Host OS feature on iDRAC
GUI once again. The user, “iSMSnmpUser” created by iSM is deleted when the feature is disabled or iSM is uninstalled.
