Monitor server directly from DRAC over SNMP

[Christian Appelgren]

Hello list,

Is it possible to monitor all the parameters from BMC (disk, fan,
temperature, etc) directly over SNMP to the DRAC-interface?

I have managed to get all status from local BMC using ipmitool. But as I
am in need of setting up a monitoring solution able to poll many servers
running Windows, several different Linux distributions and even FreeBSD
it would be *very* useful to get all the data over SNMP directly from
DRAC rather than installing OpenManage software (and modprobeing ipmi
drivers etc) on every host.

When I run snmpwalk on the DRAC ip address I only get this:

$ snmpwalk -m ALL -v 2c -c public 85.xx.xx.xx 1.3.6.1.4.1.674
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductName.0 = STRING: "Dell Remote Access Controller 5"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductShortName.0 = STRING: "DRAC 5"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductDescription.0 = STRING: "This system component
provides a complete set of remote management functions for Dell
PowerEdge servers"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductManufacturer.0 = STRING: "Dell"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductVersion.0 = STRING: "1.33 (Build \"08.03.10\")"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductURL.0 = STRING: "https://85.xx.xx.xx:443"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsSystemServiceTag.0 = STRING: "FBGWP3J"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsProductType.0 = INTEGER: DRAC5(6)
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsFirmwareVersion.0 = STRING: "1.33"
DELL-RAC-MIB::drsGlobalSystemStatus.0 = INTEGER: ok(3)


Thanks in advance.

 Christian
