Experiences with iDRAC 6, 7, 8 have been terrible. After high runtime they stop to respond via HTTP and SNMP, its just rubbish. Reboot of BMC helped Sometimes, sometimes only a powerdrain. Back then even the ProSupport could not do much, they support a system unsupported by their devs.
The latest iDRACs (with the fancy blue GUI) work a little better. I have no numbers to back all that, its just a feeling, maybe the problems are yet to come.
Given the Dell pricing, they should be better. But i've heard from collegues that ILO and others are not much better either.
- nineteen999 4y agoCisco UCS CIMC is unreliable as well. iLO has the been the most stable out of the three for me.
