Changing IDRAC Passwords

We currently have about 650 IDRAC 8 & 9 and we are having to change the passwords on all of them.

As a result they will all go offline in OME. We are running the latest version OME 3.9

What is the correct procedure to re-inventory them again with the new password so they will appear online again

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello seamusobr,

After you change the password and remove the device from inventory you can Discover again with current user ID and password.

Vmjhawker,

Actually, there are a couple options. You can either
1) Re-discover or edit existing discovery
or
2) Do the onboarding and change the password OME is using

Let me know if this helps.

Is this really the supported method within OME to handle idrac passwords? This seems really short sighted. Wouldn't all of the past metrics and events be lost every time you had to do a password update?
