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.
Enabling the In-band SNMP Get feature—Windows
The In-band SNMP Get feature allows you to query the system management data over the SNMP service on the host operating
system. The host SNMP services should be enabled and configured s a prerequisite for this feature.
The SNMP service on the iDRAC should be enabled. If it is not enabled, then iDRAC Service Module will enable and configure
the SNMP service on the iDRAC. This feature can be enabled or disabled using any of the iDRAC interfaces or the installer.
This feature supports SNMP v1 and v2 on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems and SNMP v1, v2 and v3 on Linux operating
systems.
