How to configure OME and iDRAC6/7
We have a Poweredge T310 and T320. The T310 has iDRAC6 Enterprise. The T320 iDRAC7 Express. I installed Open Manage Essesntials on the T320 and created an inventory. It finds all hardware in the network, but I don't find the iDRAC's.
Now i've been messing around with the iDRAC settings, so it's very well possible I screwed things up for OME. Read the OME manual and iDRAC manual, but I can't find information on how to setup OME and iDRAC for them to interact.
Is there a faq/paper/wiki explaining how to configure things to get is usable?

Hello Simon
It should use SNMP to discover the iDRACs. The IDRACs should default to SNMP enabled with a community name of public. Enable SNMP in OME and make sure the community names match and you should be good to go. Here is a whitepaper:

Thanks! That did the trick for the iDRAC6 machine. The machine with iDRAC7 wasn't discovered yet - I'll check out the link you posted.
