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.
• Windows operating system
– Using the local Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI):
winrm i EnableInBandSNMPTraps
wmi/root/cimv2/dcim/DCIM_iSMService?InstanceID="iSMExportedFunctions" @{state="[0/1]"}
– Using the remote WMI interface:
winrm i EnableInBandSNMPTraps wmi/root/cimv2/dcim/DCIM_iSMService?
InstanceID="iSMExportedFunctions" @{state="[0/1]"}
-u:<admin-username> -p:<admin-passwd> -r:http://<remote-hostname OR IP>/wsman -
a:Basic -encoding:utf-8 -skipCACheck –skipCNCheck
• Linux operating system
On all iSM supported Linux operating system, iSM provides an executable command. You can run this command by logging into
the operating system by using SSH or equivalent.
Beginning with iSM 2.4.0, you can configure Agent-x as the default protocol for in-band iDRAC SNMP alerts using the following
command:
./Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh 1/agentx –force
If –force is not specified, ensure that the net-SNMP is configured and restart the snmpd service.
– To enable this feature:
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh 1
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh enable
– To disable this feature:
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh 0
Enable-iDRACSNMPTrap.sh disable
