No, this won't work (I mean, you should be able to log into it using a local admin in the OS in which it is running (including domain admins), but it won't have access to hardware). You'll need the OpenManage VIB installed in ESXi to manage the hardware.
Hello, We recently had a hard drive failure which was replaced today. I see in iDRAC that the drive is healthy but I cannot see the Raid Array Status. Upon reading some posts on here I installed OpenManage on one of the VM's on the Host but I cannot log into it. I assume the Hostname is the Virtual Host Name but what is the username and password? Is it the iDRAC login details or the ESXI login details? or will this not work at all? Many thanks in advance for your guidance.
Raid Array status, Poweredge R730 running ESXI 6.7
