OpenManage Enterprise Gotcha
-
Just in case anyone else has been fighting a battle with OpenManage Enterprise. For whatever reason - at least in my deployment - the appliance won't talk to the iDRAC of it's own host if they're using the same NIC.
Hopefully this spares someone else some frustration.
Cheers

That's why we put it on a VM.

Yep, it's a vm.... but the VM and the iDRAC were set to share the same NIC on the host (whoever did the initial hardware setup didn't want to / couldn't use the iDRAC's dedicated NIC)

Big No-no having both on the same interface, but regardless of that the idrac would have another IP and another mac address.
That might be the reason you couldn't get it to work.

Weird, We use dedicated iDRAC all the time.

I think "didn't want to" is the key language there

Yeah... dealing with things that someone else setup is always interesting to say the least
