Co-existence of Server Administrator and iDRAC Service
Module
In a system, both Server Administrator and the iDRAC Service Module can co-exist. If you enable the
monitoring features during the iDRAC Service Module installation, after the installation is complete, if the
iDRAC Service Module detects the presence of Server Administrator, iDRAC Service Module disables the
set of monitoring features that overlap. The iDRAC Service Module keeps polling Server Administrator and
its features. At any time if the Server Administrator service stops, the respective iDRAC Service Module
feature is enabled.
