iDRAC 9 - Express to Enterprise Upgrade

Hi all,

I have a new PowerEdge R540 server that came with iDRAC9 Express (I forgot to include Enterprise when I built the configuration).

Is it simply a licence required to unlock the iDRAC Enterprise features (primarily the virtual console)?

If so, is it just a matter of acquiring the following licence and entering a new licence key?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, you just need to install the license to unlock the additional features.

Perfect. Thanks for confirming. I just wanted to make sure it was only a software/licence restriction (and not the wrong hardware) before approaching our Dell account manager.

I am encountering the same issue with the 4 x R760 iDRAC9 16G Express edition and need to upgrade to the Enterprise edition. What SKU is required to upgrade my licenses?

Hello,

to have SKU please contact Dell sales team or a partner because our technical support is not dealing SKUs.

Thanks
