Hi,
I hope this is the right place to post this thread about iDrac questions I have.
I'm planning on buying a Dell R720 which is listed as having iDrac. Just that, it only lists as having iDrac. I will make some questions to the seller to understand which version we are talking about, but in the meanwhile, I have some questions which I hope you help me to understand.
Assuming we are talking about say iDrac 7, I believe there are an express and an enterprise version (maybe some more like basic and datacenter). If I want to have a remote console, do I need to get the enterprise version? Or does the express version also provides this feature?
To have the enterprise version, I need specific iDrac hardware board and also a license to be applied on the interface?
I believe the enterprise version comes with a physical ethernet port. But is it possible, in the express version, to select an already existing ethernet port for that purpose? So if the R720 comes with a 4-port NIC (like a Broadcom 5720), I could select one of the ports to be reserved for iDrac? Or ... does the express version also comes with a dedicated ethernet port?
Thank you for your help.
