Coexistence of OpenManage Server Administrator and
iDRAC Service Module
In a system, both OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) and iDRAC Service Module can coexist. If you enable the
monitoring features during the iDRAC Service Module installation, and 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 overlaps. At any
time if the OMSA service stops, the iDRAC Service Module features are enabled.
NOTE: The overlapping features are AutoSystemRecovery and Lifecycle Log Replication.
Software availability
The iDRAC Service Module software is available on:
