how to use idrac interface as a vm network
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?

What version of idrac? You can configure power management fence agent through the idrac interface. I have my idrac network on the default vlan and with the user name and password you set using the settings in the screenshot attached. I hope this helps.

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?

There's an extra tab 'OS Pass through'... https://www.dell.com/community/Systems-Management-General/R630-Idrac-etherne... I just disabled the pass through on one of my servers. On the command line 'idrac' disappeared immediately from the output of 'ip a', but remained in ovirt. Putting the server in to maintenance mode and rebooting did remove the iDRAC interface from the oVirt UI once the host was reactivated. Hope this helps Regards, Brett On Wed, 25 Mar 2020 at 13:22, Nathanaël Blanchet <blanchet@abes.fr> wrote:

You need to go to the Hosts tab and run a 'Refresh Capabilities' from the Manage drop-down. I use it when I plug USB devices for pass-through. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov
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.

That's it! Nothing to do with an ovirt feature, the idrac interface is present since I activated the ISM module on the hosts. So this interface is unuseful for networking stuff in ovirt. Le 25/03/2020 à 17:12, eevans@digitaldatatechs.com a écrit :
