Operating system information

The iDRAC Service Module (iSM) provides similar information such as host operating system name, server host IP address information, operating system version, and Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) with iDRAC. The network interfaces on the host operating system are also displayed. By default, the monitoring feature is enabled.

You can also view host operating system network interface details, through the Redfish client plug-in for browsers.

NOTE:iSM is now supporting DHCP clients dhclient, dhcpd, wicked, netplan, and internal with Network Manager. If the network configuration on the host operating system is configured using any other DHCP clients, then iSM will be unable to monitor the change in states of the network interface. For instance, DHCP configuration of an interface. Hence, you may not be able to view the change of the host operating system network interfaces details like DHCP status, DHCP server, default gateway, DNS server in the iDRAC interfaces.
NOTE:For the PowerEdge 17G servers release, the Ethernet interface collection includes both physical and logical Ethernet interface instances. The EthernetInterfaceType property includes values of Physical for NIC instances and Virtual for logical instances.

In 17G, the following properties appear for logical interface instances. When iSM is installed, these are populated and included with the physical NIC instances in the EthernetInterfaceCollection.
