There's an extra tab 'OS Pass through'... https://www.dell.com/community/Systems-Management-General/R630-Idrac-ethe... 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(a)abes.fr&gt; wrote: > 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? > Le 25/03/2020 à 13:02, Maton, Brett a écrit : > > 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... > > https://www.dell.com/community/PowerEdge-Hardware-General/iDRAC-8-NIC-Por... > > > On Wed, 25 Mar 2020 at 09:33, Nathanaël Blanchet <blanchet(a)abes.fr&gt; wrote: > >> 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 >> >> -- >> Nathanaël Blanchet >> >> Supervision réseau >> SIRE >> 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala >> 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 >> Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 >> Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 >> blanchet(a)abes.fr >> _______________________________________________ >> Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org >> To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org >> Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html >> oVirt Code of Conduct: >> https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ >> List Archives: >> https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/UP6WTZIH7YT... >> > -- > Nathanaël Blanchet > > Supervision réseau > SIRE > 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala > 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 > Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 > Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14blanchet(a)abes.fr > >

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.

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?
