Users Guide

This section provides the command usages for Windows, Linux, and ESXi operating systems.
• Windows operating system
• Using the local Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI):
winrm i EnableInBandSNMPTraps
wmi/root/cimv2/dcim/DCIM_iSMService?InstanceID="iSMExportedFunctions" @{state="[0/1]"}
• Using the remote WMI interface:
winrm i EnableInBandSNMPTraps wmi/root/cimv2/dcim/DCIM_iSMService?
InstanceID="iSMExportedFunctions" @{state="[0/1]"}
-u:<admin-username> -p:<admin-passwd> -r:http://<remote-hostname OR IP>/WSMan -a:Basic -
encoding:utf-8 -skipCACheck –skipCNCheck
• Linux operating system
On all iSM supported Linux operating system, iSM provides an executable command. You can run this command by logging into the
operating system by using SSH or equivalent.
Beginning with iSM 2.4.0, you can configure Agent-x as the default protocol for in-band iDRAC SNMP alerts using the following
command:
./Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh 1/agentx –force
If –force is not specified, ensure that the net-SNMP is configured and restart the snmpd service.
• To enable this feature:
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh 1
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh enable
• To disable this feature:
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh 0
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh disable
NOTE:
The --force option configures the Net-SNMP to forward the traps. However, you must configure the trap
destination.
• VMware ESXi operating system
On all iSM supported ESXi operating systems, the iSM v2.3 supports a Common Management Programming Interface (CMPI) method
provider to enable this feature remotely by using the WinRM remote commands.
winrm i EnableInBandSNMPTraps http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/root/cimv2/
dcim/DCIM_iSMService?
__cimnamespace=root/cimv2/dcim+InstanceID=iSMExportedFunctions -u:<user-name> -p:<passwd> -
r:https://<remote-host-name
ip-address>:443/WSMan -a:basic -encoding:utf-8 -skipCNCheck -skipCACheck -
skipRevocationcheck @{state="[0/1]"}
NOTE:
You must review and configure the VMware ESXi system-wide SNMP settings for traps.
NOTE: For more details, refer to the In-BandSNMPAlerts technical white paper available at www.dell.com/support.
iDRAC access via Host OS
By using this feature, you can configure and monitor the hardware parameters through iDRAC Web interface, WSMan, and RedFish
interfaces using the host IP address without configuring the iDRAC IP address. You can use the default iDRAC credentials if the iDRAC
server is not configured or continue to use the same iDRAC credentials if the iDRAC server was configured earlier.
