UNSOLVED
OME
Hello,
I'm trying to inventory iDrac cards through OME. I am able to discover them I think thanks to IPMI. I enabled snmp in the iDrac web interface (destination: IP addres of my OME server and community string set to public).
Using the troubleshooting tool, the snmp test failed with this error:
The SNMP read request has failed for Get Community name - public
But if I try to send a trap from iDrac, I can see it from the troubleshooting tool (Misc - snmp trap listener)
Could someone help me on this one?
Thanks a lot!

Are you really, really, sure? :-) I can't recall the exact iDrac gui, but are there more than one place to set the comm string? (e.g., outgoing traps vs traffic).
...case sensitive is frequently a problem.

Hi Laurent,
There are two aspects of SNMP protocol. One is used for discovery/inventory where information is requested for specific SNMP OIDs using the community strings. The second is when the target device sends traps to OME and OME receives it.
The community string specified in iDrac should match with the community string used in the OME discovery wizard for OME to retrieve the information from iDrac. From the error message it looks like the community string may not be configured or matching. This may not prevent the traps from coming in.
Please take a look at the configuration from iDrac end. Also note that the string is case sensitive.
Regards
Abhijit
