Go to SolutionCan Idrac still be accessed after installing Omsa?
Hi,
I have an R610 with IDRAC 6, the problem is I can't monitor the physical disk. some say it can be seen from OMSA.
Then the Proxmox OS is installed on the server.
Can I install OMSA in a VM? and can Idrac still be accessed after installing Omsa?
Thanks.

Hello thanks for choosing Dell.
I'm afraid idrac 6 is such a dated model now. It's time we needed to ugrade kindly.

The iDRAC6 will report a failed and broken disk as long as you setup the notications and configured smtp.
Through OMSA you can monitor the drives with its commandline tools and GUI (Embedded webserver on Port 1311) .... but OMSA needs to install in a phys. OSE because it talks to the Hardware and that will not work in a VM.
Regards,
Joerg

I think you can still access iDRAC after installing OMSA. In fact, OMSA provides a number of additional features for managing iDRAC, such as the ability to update iDRAC firmware and configure iDRAC settings.

@damyiu
an iDRAC6 will not display an<y storage related stuff. This was added in later iDRAC generations and iDRAC it self doesnt have a bond to OMSA. In later Dell PowerEdge generations Dell introuduced the ISM which let the iDRAC give insight into the GuestOS which can be related when troubleshooting and additional Logs are needed .
