Operating system information

OpenManage 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 OpenManage Server Administrator is installed on the host OS.

You can also view Host OS network interface details, 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.
