In-band Support for iDRAC SNMP Alerts
By using iDRAC Service Module v2.3, you can receive SNMP alerts from the host operating system, which is similar to the alerts that are
generated by iDRAC.
You can also monitor the iDRAC SNMP alerts without conguring the iDRAC and manage the server remotely by conguring the SNMP
traps and destination on the host OS. In iDRAC Service Module v2.3 or later, this feature converts all the Lifecycle logs replicated in the OS
logs into SNMP traps.
NOTE
: This feature is active only if the Lifecycle Logs replication feature is enabled.
NOTE: On Linux operating systems, this feature requires a master or OS SNMP enabled with SNMP multiplexing (SMUX)
protocol.
