In-Band Support For Idrac Snmp Alerts - Dell iDRAC 8 User Manual

On all iSM supported ESXi operating systems, the iSM v2.3 supports a Common Management Programming Interface (CMPI)
method provider to perform the iDRAC reset remotely by using the WinRM remote commands.
winrm i iDRACHardReset http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/root/cimv2/dcim/
DCIM_iSMService?__cimnamespace=root/cimv2/dcim+InstanceID=
iSMExportedFunctions -u:<root-username> -p:<passwd> -r:https://<Host-IP>:443/wsman -
a:basic -encoding:utf-8 -skipCNCheck -skipCACheck -skipRevocationcheck
NOTE: VMware ESXi operating system does not prompt for confirmation before resetting the iDRAC.
NOTE: Due to limitations on the VMware ESXi operating system, iDRAC connectivity is not restored completely after
the reset. Ensure that you manually reset iDRAC. For more information, see the "Remote iDRAC Hard Reset" in this
document.

In-band Support for iDRAC SNMP Alerts

By using iDRAC Service Module v2.3, you can receive SNMP alerts from the host operating system, which is similar to the alerts
that are generated by iDRAC.
You can also monitor the iDRAC SNMP alerts without configuring the iDRAC and manage the server remotely by configuring the
SNMP traps and destination on the host OS. In iDRAC Service Module v2.3 or later, this feature converts all the Lifecycle logs
replicated in the OS logs into SNMP traps.
NOTE: This feature is active only if the Lifecycle Logs replication feature is enabled.
NOTE: On Linux operating systems, this feature requires a master or OS SNMP enabled with SNMP multiplexing
(SMUX) protocol.
By default, this feature is disabled. Though the In-band SNMP alerting mechanism can coexist along with iDRAC SNMP alerting
mechanism, the recorded logs may have redundant SNMP alerts from both the sources. It is recommended to either use the in-
band or out-of-band option, instead of using both.
Command usage
This section provides the command usages for Windows, Linux, and ESXi operating systems.
