The idrac 7 can use either LOM or usb. I’m not sure about 6 but the idrac shows up as a usb nic in version 7 wih a link local ip, 169.254.0.X and allows the OS passthrough mentioned.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Re: how to use idrac interface as a vm network

Thanks for replying,

I know this setting, but I do want to use the dedicated nic.

The curious thing is that the MAC adress of the dedicated NIC into IDRAC setting differs from the MAC reported into ovirt:

So it lest me suppose that there is a kind of virtual card derived from the physical one, can anybody confirm this?

Can't say that I've tried it, but it looks like it's a setting within iDRAC

This link is for iDRAC 8, but it's probably similar for 7 and 9...

Hello,

I noticed an idrac interface was available in the host network since an
undefined ovirt version.

Mine are already plugged as dedicated vlan to administrate host at the
lowest level.

I tested to use it as a vm network on the same vlan, but it doesn't work.

What am I supposed to do with this available interface?

PS: on HP hosts, no Ilo interface appears in host network tab
