The following table provides information about the supported protocols for discovering devices.
NOTE:
The functionality of the supported protocols to discover, monitor, and manage the PowerEdge 11G servers with iDRAC6 is limited.
IPMI discovery is not supported for Non-Dell servers (HP ILO and Lenovo Xclarity servers) and hence all inventory data is not available . It is only supported through Redfish protocol i.e HP Redfish and Lenovo Redfish profiles respectively.
