Server and DRAC names in OME
We have different DNS names for our DRACs, servername-sc.abc. We have discovery groups set up for both the servers and the DRACs. For the servers, we're using SNMP and for the DRACs, WS-Man. The servers were added first. Then when I added the DRAC discovery range, it renamed all the servers to their DRAC names ("servername-sc"). What did I do wrong? The preference is to see the actual server name, not the DRAC name in the inventory.
Thanks,
Brian

Hi and thanks for the post.
You have a bit of flexibility when you create your discovery ranges.
If you have 12/13G servers, it may be easiest to just discover the iDRAC ip address via WSMan (uncheck SNMP).
If you do happen to discover both the in-band IP as well as the iDRAC IP address, OME will merge them into a single device which might be why you are seeing this behavior.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
Thank you for your response. I believe they are being merged. The problem is that when they are merged, some of them are merging into the DRAC DNS name. How can I make sure OME uses the server name when the merge occurs?
Thanks,
Brian

Hmmm...I guess I would have thought the merged would have used the hostname but I'm not positive.
If you can open a ticket (800-945-3355) then maybe the support team can grab a copy of the database and pass it along for review.
Regards,
