Hi Jamshedduin,

   From the snapshot you have sent,  I can see that iDRAC is in Basic Management mode. Please explain the issue you are facing in detail so that we can help you.

Hi,

In my R420 Server I have installed esxi 5.1 customized image (VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64-Dell_Customized_RecoveryCD_A00.iso )

Installation of ESXi and Configuration of iDRAC 7 network are completed.Then when we login to the iDRAC-7 then see there are no Data about the server instead show the above attached pic.

(Sorry, I don't know about that it is with Express or Basic Management (IPMI) )

I have worked with r720,r710 and Blade server but never seen this issue.

Please ??

Thank You.

Hi,

You can utilize the external, self-help License Management portal to obtain a license which will enable all the iDRAC features and In order to access the License Management portal, an account is required. To set up an account, please go to www.dell.com/support/retail/lkm  .

  Once you have the license, either express or enterprise, you should get the features in iDRAC GUI and other iDRAC CLI interfaces.

Hi Sushmab ,

If my server came with "Basic Management" then I should get the below service minimum..

• Basic hardware management via IPMI 2.0
• Text-based console redirection
• Embedded diagnostics
• Embedded OS installation tools
