OMEnt has limited support for 11g systems. 11g systems are reliant on OpenManage Server Administrator as an agent. The iDRAC6 has limited capabilities as an agent in comparison to later generations. OpenManage Essentials is designed to use OMSA as an agent. OpenManage Enterprise is designed to use iDRACs as agents. If you are going to be managing 11th generation or older systems then you will probably want to use OME instead of OMEnt. [URL]
I've recently deployed the Openmanage Enterprise virtual appliance to manage our servers. It seems to work reasonbably OK with the newer (13G) ones (with a few issues), but barely seems to work at all with the one 11G model (R710) which I still have - it can't see its DNS name, and doesn't seem able to check it for firmware updates. Is this expected behaviour? I realise that the 11G server is quite old now so that may well be the reason. All of the servers have iDRAC Enterprise licenses. Thanks
