Dell EMC iDRAC Service Module 4.2.0.0 User’s Guide
Operating system information
OpenManage Server Administrator currently shares operating system information and host name with iDRAC. 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. This feature is available even if OpenManage Server Administrator is installed on the host operating system.
You can also view host operating system network interface details, through the Redfish client plug-in for browsers.
NOTE The minimum iDRAC firmware version required to view information using the Redfish client is 3.00.00.00.
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 network interface's change in states, for instance DHCP configuration of an interface. Hence, you may not be able to view the change of the host operating system network interface details like DHCP status, DHCP server, default gateway, DNS server in the iDRAC interfaces.
