One of the big features added with our 12th generation servers was improved agent-less support. The iDRAC7 in the R620 is capable of providing a lot of system information without need of an agent like OpenManage Server Administrator installed on the host operating system.
If you use a centralized management station like OpenManage Essentials or OpenManage Enterprise it should be able to communicate with the iDRACs and get the information. It has the ability to scan network ranges for equipment. You can read more about OME and OMEn on the product support page. OMEn was just released and will eventually replace OME. They are both supported currently.
OME and OMEn work with other products besides our servers, so you can review the documentation to see if it will get the information you need from the other systems as well.
