36 Systems - Reference
iDRAC User name Provide iDRAC user name. If using Active Directory
authentication, enter username in the format
Domain\User name.
NOTE: The iDRAC Login privilege is required to perform
system inventory.
iDRAC Password Provide iDRAC password.
Ping (ICMP) Settings
Require successful ping
before attempting
inventory
When enabled, a ping response is received from an address
before attempting WS-Man inventory communications.
This can improve the performance of the inventory process.
However, disable this option if the network blocks ping
requests. This option is enabled by default.
Retries The number of times to re-attempt a ping before excluding
the system from inventory. The default is 3 retries (4 total
attempts).
Timeout The time in which a ping response is received before the
ping attempt fails. The default is 5 seconds.
WS-Man Settings Dell License Manager uses the iDRAC WS-Man interface
to obtain inventory information.
Validate Certificate
Name
If enabled, this ensures that inventory communications are
conducted only with systems identifying themselves based
on a certificate that matches the address used to
communicate with that system. If the iDRAC certificate
does not match the discovery address, then disable
certificate name validation for Dell License Manager to
communicate with the iDRAC. However, if the certificate
name is not validated, Dell License Manager cannot
authenticate the identity of the remote system.
